Definitions

  • the invention relates to a housing according to the preamble of claim 1 having a door whose locking means are not accessible from the outside, so that they can not be forced maliciously. It relates in particular to large-sized boxes which must be locked at several points along their length and which, placed in public places, must present a guarantee against any improper handling.
  • one of the objects of the invention is to provide a housing having a door whose locking means are not accessible from the outside.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide such a box, for example a mailbox, at a cost comparable to that of a traditional box.
  • the invention relates to a housing delimited by a wall in which an opening is provided, a door being provided for closing said opening and comprising a locking device which can cooperate with an edge of said opening to keep the door in the closed position.
  • said edge comprises, seen in section, a first portion extending towards the inside of the housing and perpendicular to said edge in the direction of a face thereof opposite the opening, and extended perpendicularly by a second portion extending in the direction of another edge of the opening opposite to the first, said locking device cooperating with said second portion.
  • a box according to the preamble of claim 1 is characterized in that said edge comprises, seen in section, a first portion extending towards the inside of the box and perpendicular to said edge in the direction of a face thereof opposite the opening, and extended perpendicularly by a second portion extending in the direction of another edge of the opening opposite the first, itself extended perpendicularly by a third portion extending in opening direction, said locking device cooperating with said third portion.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view in elevation of a collective mailbox according to the invention, in the open position and Figure 2 is a partial cross section along line II-II of the mailbox Figure 1-in the closed position-showing the detail of the locking device.
  • a collective mailbox 1 which comprises a parallel piped enclosure 2 of elongated shape, one of its main faces 3 is open.
  • the enclosure 2 comprises two transverse shelves 4, 5 defining three separate and superimposed boxes 6, 7, for storing the mail.
  • the enclosure 2 is extended inwards, from the open face 3 and along one of the longitudinal edges 9 of this face, by a rabbet 10 of U-shaped section.
  • the longitudinal edge 9 of the open face 3 is extended, perpendicularly and inwards, by a first wing 11 of the U-shaped rebate 10.
  • the wing 11 is extended perpendicularly, and towards the opposite longitudinal edge 12 of the open face 3 , by a base 13.
  • This base 13 is extended perpendicularly, and towards the open face 3 of the enclosure 2, by a second wing 14 which does not extend to this face.
  • the distance between this second wing 14 and the open face 3 is substantially equal to the thickness of a door intended to close the enclosure 2.
  • an L-shaped rebate 15 is added against the U-shaped rebate 10: the base 16 of this L-shaped rebate 15 is fixed against the base 13 of the U-shaped rebate 10, for example by spot welding.
  • the wing 18 of the L-shaped rebate 15 is arranged opposite the second wing 14 of the U-shaped rebate and it is moved away from it so as to provide a slight space between these wings.
  • the wing 18 of the L-shaped rebate 15 therefore extends parallel to the second wing 14 of the U-shaped rebate, over the same width in the direction of the open face 3 of the enclosure 2.
  • the two leaves in U 10 and L 15 extending in length substantially over the entire height of the enclosure 2.
  • the second wing 14 of the U rebate 10 has, distributed over its length, four cutouts 19 to 22 known in themselves. Each cutout is in the form of an oblong hole arranged longitudinally, and opens onto the free edge 23 of the second wing 14.
  • the collective mailbox 1 comprises, in addition to the enclosure 2, a collective door 50 making it possible to close the enclosure 2.
  • the collective door 50 comprises a rectangular frame 51 inside which are mounted three individual doors 52, 53, 54 superimposed. These individual doors 52, 53, 54 conventionally include a slot for the introduction of mail and an identification label. They are articulated on one of the longitudinal uprights 55 of the frame 51 and are locked in a manner known per se on the opposite longitudinal upright 56 by means of three locks respective 57, 58, 59: the lock 58 of the individual door 53 ( Figure 2) comprises a flat cam 60 which is rotated to cooperate with a flat longitudinal rebate 61 which extends in width towards the inside of the frame 51 , from the inner edge 62 of the upright 56 of this frame.
  • this lock 63 On the upright 56 of the collective door 50 opposite these articulation means, is fixed a lock 63 making it possible to lock this door on the enclosure 2.
  • this lock 63 rotates a pinion 64 which is mounted on the inner face 65 of the collective door 50, and which drives in translation a rack 66.
  • the rack 66 extends along the collective door 50 while being oriented perpendicularly to it; it is slidably mounted on the collective door 50 by means of an L-shaped profile 67.
  • the non-toothed face of the rack and facing the articulation means of the collective door 50 is equipped in the present example, of four transverse fingers distributed over its length and intended to penetrate, in a manner known per se, into the four cutouts 19 to 22 made in the U-shaped rebate 10 of the enclosure 2, so as to lock the collective door 50.
  • the lock 63, the pinion 64, the rack 66 and its transverse fingers, constitute the locking device for the collective door 50.
  • the finger 68 enters the cutout 20 made in the second wing 14 of the U-shaped rebate 10.
  • This finger comprises, distributed on either side of the zone of cooperation with the second wing 14, two flanges 69, 70 projecting laterally, which are larger than that of the cutout 20 and which limit the possible movement of the finger 68 perpendicular to the plane of the second wing 14.
  • the collective mailbox cannot be easily opened by malicious intent.
  • the slot 71 existing between the upright 56 of the collective door 50 and the neighboring edge 9 of the enclosure 2 does not allow direct access, by means of a thin tool, to part of the locking device.
  • the slot between door and enclosure allows direct access to the locking fingers located at the right of this slot, for shearing these fingers or acting by force on them in order to move them.
  • the wing 18 of the L-shaped rebate 15 is only an additional wing preventing the locking fingers from damaging, during their movement, the mail placed in the boxes 6, 7, 8.
  • the invention does not only concern collective mailboxes but any case, in particular of considerable length, for which a multipoint locking mechanism which is not accessible from the outside must be provided: for example trunks, luggage boxes arranged in the stations, protective boxes for collective equipment arranged on public roads, such as electrical boxes or incendiary boxes, etc ...
  • a door locking device can be provided on the housing which cooperates, not with the wing 14 as in the present example, but with the base 13 of the U-shaped rebate 10.
