Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cylindrical letterbox that offers novel essential characteristics and significant advantages with respect to other similar letterboxes used in the current state of the art.
  • the invention proposes the development of a letterbox of the type having a cylindrical configuration and which, for operating purposes, is installed outdoors, and has an opening or entrance slot for introducing the letters or other documents that are mailed through conventional postal services, the constructive and design characteristics of which have been devised in a substantially improved manner with respect to conventional letterboxes, both in relation to the structure of the letterbox and its anchoring means, with the security closing devices of the door that accesses the interior thereof, or even with the fixed or folding elements that protect and configure the aforementioned entrance slot.
  • the field of application of the invention is obviously comprised within the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture and/or installation of means and devices associated to postal services, and particularly the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture and/or installation of letterboxes.
  • Letterboxes installed in public thoroughfares or other predetermined places are known to be used for receiving and/or storing letters or other postal documents, whether mailed by users to other places or to provide service to the Post Office itself.
  • the letterboxes consist of generally elongated boxes or receptacles, with different configurations in accordance with the specific application for which they have been designed, normally made of a metal protected against rust, painted in predetermined colours and, where applicable, having an opening or entrance slot for introducing documents, protected by a swinging or folding sheet to avoid the entrance of water. Additionally, they have a small door to access the interior of the letterbox and collect the objects that have fallen inside a sack disposed for such purpose on being deposited therein.
  • a cylindrical letterbox consists of three clearly differentiated parts, namely, a portion corresponding to the lower body or base, a portion corresponding to the central body and a portion corresponding to the cap or cover.
  • the three aforementioned portions are made of metal materials that guarantee sufficient resistance to external agents or even against possible acts of vandalism, joined together by welding or similar means.
  • the anchorage of the lower portion or base to the ground is carried out by means of anchorings, for example three fastenings, with the help of metal blocks or other similar means which, pursuant to the legislation in force, must support breakage loads above a predetermined threshold.
  • anchorings for example three fastenings
  • metal blocks or other similar means which, pursuant to the legislation in force, must support breakage loads above a predetermined threshold.
  • the hinges of the small doors, the hooks used in the interior of the letterbox or the anchorings must also be made of a material that guarantees a secure and effective operation of each and every one of the parts that comprise the letterbox.
  • Document GB 14821A discloses a letter base according to the preamble of claim 1
  • the letterbox proposed by the invention is comprised, as in the case of conventional letterboxes, of three portions successively piled one on top of the other and joined together by welding or similar means: a lower base, an intermediate body and a cap or cover.
  • the lower base consists of a cylindrical piece comprised of a steel sheet of considerable thickness throughout its contour (preferably, around 5 mm thick), with a sheet-iron ring disposed on the upper part and fixing means on the lower part consisting of anchorings welded to the base (preferably three anchorings, angularly equidistant).
  • the central body which has the opening through which the postal objects are introduced and the small door to access its interior, consists of a cylinder of a diameter somewhat smaller than that of the base, comprised of an iron plate, protected against rust by means of a known process and having internal 1 means for fixing the sack that receives the letters or other postal documents, in the usual manner.
  • the cap or cover closes the letterbox by its upper end, and is also comprised of a metal material such as a plate around 2 mm thick or similar, having an upper rounded base with the approximate shape of a spherical cap, and a diameter equivalent to that of the lower base.
  • the cylindrical letterbox is of the conventional type, i.e. of the type formed by a portion (1) corresponding to a lower body or base, a portion (2) corresponding to an intermediate or central body and an upper portion (3) corresponding to a cap or cover.
  • the central body (2) and the portion (3) corresponding to the cap or cover are also joined together by means of a seam formed by welding throughout the perimeter.
  • an entrance slot in the conventional manner, has been envisaged, which is represented enlarged in detail (D), at a predetermined height, while a door (8) has been disposed in a diametrically opposed position.
  • the entrance slot through which the letters and postal documents are introduced has a folding lid (6) underneath a fixed visor, said lid (6) being susceptible to being lifted at the time of introduction and returning by its own means, due to the effect of gravity, to its resting position once freed, while after the entrance slot there is a space (5) delimited by a descending ramp (5a) (representation 3.1 of figure 3 ), with the suitable inclination to guide the letters in their descent towards the inner collection sack (not represented).
  • Coupled to said ramp is a small box that, together with the former, determine the formation of said reception space (5), while in order to avoid the introduction of foreign objects such as, for example, syringes, lit cigarettes, etc., the inclusion of a door that opens by gravity has been envisaged, materialised by a plate (5b) having a magnet and which normally remains closed due to the effect of gravity.
  • the door (8) disposed on the cylindrical letterbox of the invention is protected from rainwater by means of a small roof (8a) which, projecting from the central body (2) of the letterbox with a certain descending inclination, extends transversely to the full width of the door.
  • Said door is visible in the elevational and side views of representations 4.1 and 4.2, and is comprised of a metal sheet with a predetermined thickness (preferably, around 2mm thick), having a solid hinge (12) (see representation 4.5 of figure 4 ), for hinging the central body (2).
  • the door includes a safety lock (8b), of the cylinder-free type, with a spring-free pin displacement system and double bolt, that holds the corresponding edge of the door by its upper part and by its lower part with the help of two rods (11) materialised in the form of door catches (representation 4.4 of figure 4 ), and which have a substantially flattened portion (11a), with a respective orifice (11b), which is joined to the actuating lock with the help of screws nuts.
  • the rods (11) can be protected by means of a respective metal angle cover (not represented), welded to the inner surface of the door (8).
  • the door (8) includes two strips (10) (see representation 4.3 of figure 4 ) that present orifices (10a, 10b), joined by welding to the inner side thereof next to the upper and lower edges of the door (8), which not only constitutes an effective reinforcement for the door, but also prevents any warping or deformation thereof, ensuring that it is perfectly closed. Additionally, hooks (13) have been disposed next to the upper corners of the door (8) cavity, on either side, joined to the inner surface of the central body (2) by means of welding, and disposed in such a manner as to maintain and hold the inner sack, in the conventional manner.
  • the letterbox of the invention includes a timetable that can be clearly seen in representation 1.1 of figure 1 , disposed underneath the entrance slot and identified with numerical reference 7. This timetable is fastened to the central body (2) of the letterbox by means of a riveting operation, in such a manner that it cannot be lifted or separated from the latter.
  • a plan view of the letterbox can be observed (representation 2.1), taken from the lower part of the base body (1), for the purpose of showing the anchoring means of the letterbox to the ground.
  • These anchoring means are materialised by anchorings (4) that are distributed throughout the perimeter of the lower edge of the base (1), in angularly equidistant positions.
  • three anchorings (4) can be seen separated from each other by 120° angles, although the number of anchorings and their corresponding distribution could vary according to need.
  • Representation 2.2 illustrates a side view of an anchoring (4), showing a body with a generally prismatic shape, having orifices (4a) for the passage of screws and their coupling to metal blocks, for example, nailed to the corresponding positions on the ground.
  • the metal body of the letterbox is protected against the corrosion derived from severe weather conditions, for which purpose it is provided with a hot-galvanisation treatment and subsequently coated with paint in the corresponding colour, and with a possible anti-graffiti impregnation.
