Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a letter box provided with devices intended to prevent foreign bodies accidentally inserted in the box itself from getting mixed with the correspondence.
  • the box according to the invention is provided, in the proximity to the mouth, with means suitable to direct any foreign body (differing from the mail either in size or weight) towards a zone kept separate from that where the introduced correspondence is deposited.
  • the letter-boxes are provided with a mouth, generally closed by a leaf hinged at a box wall.
  • the box according to the invention being provided with devices, located in the proximity to the mouth, for directing foreign bodies - if any - having sizes and/or weight different from the letters, towards a zone separate from that where the mail introduced in the box is deposited.
  • a movable wall that is so designed as to be shifted only by items having the same sizes as the correspondence; they can thus have access to the collecting zone, whilst foreign bodies - if any - fall onto a chute heading to a separate container.
  • the letter box according to the invention is so shaped as to have the front wall 1 in a recessed position.
  • a leaf 2, hinged at 3 to the wall 1 forms with the latter a chamber 4, set in the front part of the box.
  • an inclined plane 5 is secured to leaf 2 and is heading towards a chute 6 that is joined to the upper edge of wall 1.
  • a movable wall 7 is hinged at 8 to the pair of arms 11 inside leaf 10 that is located above the inclined plane 5, about at an height corresponding to that of the upper edge of the mouth 9 of the box. Wall 7, accordingly, is resting against the upper free edge of chute 6.
  • the box mouth is closed by a leaf 10 whose ends are secured to a pair of supports or arms 11, hinged at 12 in the proximity to the rear wall of the box.
  • Fig. 4 shows a different embodiment of the same principle, wherein the movable wall 7 is replaced by a pair of flexible membranes 14 forming an inclined plane along which items other than correspondence slide, and gather into the front chamber; said membranes open, instead, if there are introduced letters or the like, that can thus head towards the collecting area.
