Definitions

  • the present invention relates to letterboxes.
  • the invention relates to letterboxes for mounting on doors.
  • the mounting base can also be a wall structure.
  • a letterbox according to the invention comprises an outer section 2 having an outer flap 22, an inner section 3 having an inner flap 23, as well as a telescopic shaft comprising a first shaft section 4 and a second shaft section 5.
  • the first shaft section belongs to the outer section
  • the second shaft section belongs to the inner section.
  • the telescopic shaft allows the creation of an inclined shaft sloping downwards from the outer section to the inner section.
  • the outer section 2 and the inner section 3 are sufficiently large in area to cover a straight opening to be made through the mounting base, allowing the inclined telescopic shaft to be fitted so that it forms an integral inclined shaft, while simultaneously forming mounting points facing the mounting base for the sections 2, 3.
  • the height of the straight machined opening is also high compared to the height of a straight opening made through a thin door.
  • the areas of the inner and outer section must be able to cover all possible sizes of straight machined openings.
  • the areas of the inner and outer section must be at least large enough to cover a straight machined opening made in a door that is as thick as possible.
  • the maximum thickness of the door depends on the maximum length of the telescopic shaft.
  • expanding fire insulation strips 6 are fitted or can be fitted on the surfaces of the outer section 2 and the inner section 3 that face the straight mounting opening when installed. Furthermore, fire insulation can be improved by using fire insulation band that is fitted or can be fitted on the surfaces of the outer and/or inner section facing the surface of the mounting base upon installation and that forms a closed loop.
  • fire insulation band that is fitted or can be fitted around the second shaft section 5.
  • installing the band is not as easy as installing strips.
  • the fire insulation strip 6 or band expands, compressing the telescopic shaft.
  • the expanding insulator fills the straight machined opening and blocks the telescopic shaft by compression.
  • the expanding insulator is not allowed to flow in the inclined shaft towards the inner section 3 and push the inner flap open.
  • Some of the parts may be aluminium, for example, while the other parts are plastic.
  • the telescopic shafts and the end sections could be plastic, while the body and flaps could be metal.
  • the opening sector of the outer flap 22 in the outer section 2 is upwards and, correspondingly, the opening sector of the inner flap 23 in the inner section 3 is downwards.
  • the opening edges 31 of both the outer and inner flaps are bent to facilitate opening.
  • the outer and inner flaps are held in the closed position by flap-specific springs (not shown in the figures). The springs will also return the flaps to the closed position after being opened.
  • the opening angles of the flaps are structurally limited to a certain desired maximum. An example of this is that the outer and inner flaps have hinges designed to allow the flap to open to a certain maximum angle.
  • Figure 5 illustrates an embodiment of a letterbox according to the invention in which the sealing of the letterbox is ensured.
  • Figure 6 shows an enlargement of the ridge 51.
  • a letterbox according to the invention consists of certain standard parts that allow the outer section 2 and the inner section 3 to be constructed of primarily the same parts.
  • the body 27 of the outer and inner section, as well as the end sections, are identical assemblies.
  • the principal dimensions of the outer and inner flap are identical.
  • the principal dimensions of the name flap and the covering flap are identical.
