Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall mailbox that offers essential characteristics of novelty and significant advantages with respect to the means known and used for the same purposes in the current state of the art.
  • the invention proposes the development and embodiment of a wall mailbox, of the type that is coupled and affixed to the surface of a face such as a wall or similar, prepared to receive in its interior an appropriate bag or sack joined to an access or admission mouth through which users introduce envelopes, letters and other documents, said access mouth being disposed in the upper part of a practicable door disposed on the front wall of the mailbox, sealed by means of a suitable lock, the door whereof closes an opening large enough to allow the person in charge to easily perform the extraction operations of the sack that contains postal documents in its interior and substitute it with an empty one.
  • the access mouth for the letters and documents has been made directly in the practicable door, and is protected from rain and other external agents by means of both fixed and mobile visors.
  • the field of application of the invention is comprised, obviously, within the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture of mailboxes with different applications and functionalities.
  • a form of mailbox classification could be carried out based on both the different places in which they are located and the general forms adopted by these in their respective known embodiments.
  • a common type that can be found in multiple cases is that known as a wall mailbox, due to the fact that its usual position consists of affixing the mailbox body to the vertical surface of a face or wall, for which purpose the characteristics of the mailbox design are such that they allow its fixation in the aforementioned manner.
  • wall-type mailboxes designed for being affixed to the vertical surface of a face, intended for the reception of letters and other documents already exist on the market, for which purpose they have, in the front part of the mailbox, an admission opening so that the documents can be introduced therethrough, and fall directly into a collection sack located in its interior.
  • a mailbox with these characteristics perfectly fulfils the most usual needs that arise in relation to the provision of this kind of services, such devices are not nevertheless exempt from structural improvements that can perfect both their structural characteristics and their capacity for offering a greater service security guarantee to users and to the professionals in charge of carrying out the collection service.
  • the invention has deemed it convenient and advantageous to improve some aspects of currently known mailboxes, and to this end proposes the embodiment of a wall-type mailbox, essentially comprised of a body of a general rectangular parallelepiped shape, made of cold-rolledrolled steel plate, and the body whereof has rounded and bevelled edges to prevent the formation of any kind of protrusion that could represent an obstacle for the user, or even cause the users bodily harm, tear their clothes or any other drawback.
  • the upper part of the body has been closed by means of a slightly tilted cover to facilitate the evacuation of rainwater or similar, which protrudes by its front part, also having a practicable door disposed on the front wall, which occupies an extensive surface area, said door being practicable with respect to one of the side edges along an arch having an angle greater than 90°, the door of which incorporates a transverse admission opening in a position next to the upper edge thereof, the dimensions of which are adapted to the requirements of the service to which it is destined, for the introduction of the postal objects, which is protected from rain and other external agents by means of a fixed visor and, underneath it, a mobile visor that falls under the influence of gravity, which the user lifts in order to introduce an object through said admission opening.
  • the installation of a tilted plate has been envisaged, which constitutes a drop ramp for the objects towards the interior of the collection sacks.
  • the back wall has elongated orifices for affixing the mailbox to the surface of the wall or other face to which it is applied.
  • the body (1) is closed at the top by means of an upper cover (2), which is formed in such a manner that it has a slight downward tilt towards the front part, with a bevelled front edge (2a), the dimensions of which are such that it projects with respect to the width dimension of the body, forming a transverse band that protects the front wall of the body (1) from rain or falling objects.
  • the front wall also includes a wide opening to access the interior space of the mailbox during the introduction of empty sacks and the extraction thereof with the postal objects in its interior, said wide opening being closed by a practicable door (3), equipped with a lock (4) and an admission opening located next to its upper edge, conveniently protected by a pair of visors, a first fixed visor referenced by the number 5 and a second mobile visor (6) that is hinged with respect to its upper edge, which covers and closes the aforementioned admission opening (3a), having a flap (6a) projected from its lower edge with a certain outward tilt which on being gripped allows the visor (6) to be easily opened by a user who wishes to introduce a postal object through the opening (6a).
  • the door (3) can be lifted thanks to a hinging provided by a rod (not visible in the Figure) inserted in relation to the edge opposite to that of the positioning of the lock (4), said door (3) being susceptible to opening by means of an arch having an angle greater than 90°, as mentioned earlier, in such a manner that it does not represent an obstacle when accessing the interior of the mailbox.
  • the latter being a plate showing hours of mail collection, identified through the numerical reference 7, affixed to said front wall preferably by means of rivets (7a), or appropriate screws, disposed in the vicinity of each of its respective edges, said plate (7) being intended to provide users with information on usual collection times, in the same manner as in current mailboxes.
  • FIG. 3 we can observe a simple illustration, in elevational rear view, of the mailbox body (1), which has only been represented for the purpose of showing the means for affixing the mailbox to the wall or support face.
  • these consist of the provision of several elongated orifices (8), disposed in pre-selected positions to ensure the most suitable fixation for the body, and dimensioned to allow the passage of screws or other rods that allow it to be anchored to the wall to which the mailbox is affixed.
  • said orifices may vary in number, in addition to the positions chosen for making these, based on the fixation characteristics that one wishes to establish between the mailbox and the wall or support face.
  • Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings show two elevational side views, respectively, of a vertical section of a door, and of a detail (D) on a larger scale that affects the admission mouth area and of the elements associated thereto.
  • the door (3) has an opening (3a) that constitutes the admission mouth through which the postal objects are deposited in the body (1) for their reception by the sack (not represented) housed in its interior, with the usual dimensions of this type of access or admission mouths, the front part of which is closed by the hinged visor (6) having the portion (6a) of lower flap for the gripping and lifting thereof by the user.
  • the hinged visor (6) having the portion (6a) of lower flap for the gripping and lifting thereof by the user.
  • the horizontal hinging (6b) with respect to which the visor (6) can be lifted and then returns by its own means to its closed position under the influence of gravity.
  • the position of the upper visor (5) is clearly visible in the figures, protecting both the top and sides of all the area corresponding to the mouth and associated mobile visor.
  • the joint between the different fixed elements that comprise the body or door shall be carried out by means of electric spot-welding, although other usual techniques known to persons skilled in the art could also be used.
