Herkömmliche Briefkästen weisen ein Briefkastengehäuse auf, welches mit einer Briefkastenfront versehen ist. Diese Briefkastenfront kann einteilig oder mehrteilig sein. Das Briefkastengehäuse ist entweder mit der Briefkastenfront vernietet oder an der Rückseite der Briefkastenfront befinden sich angeschweißte Bolzen, an welche das Briefkastengehäuse angeschraubt ist. Es ist auch denkbar, an der Rückseite der Briefkastenfront Kunststoffhalter vorzusehen, in welche das Briefkastengehäuse eingehängt wird. In der Regel besteht bei diesen Ausführungsformen die Briefkastenfront aus einem Profilelement (DE 195 37 183 A1).Conventional mailboxes have a mailbox housing, which is provided with a mailbox front. This Mailbox front can be in one part or in several parts. The Mailbox housing is either with the front of the mailbox riveted or on the back of the front of the mailbox there are welded bolts to which the Mailbox housing is screwed on. It is also conceivable plastic holder on the back of the mailbox front to be provided in which the mailbox housing is hung becomes. As a rule, there is in these embodiments Mailbox front made of a profile element (DE 195 37 183 A1).
