Definitions

  • the invention relates to a letterbox with low installation depth, which is particularly suitable for integration in front doors, but also as a flush-mounted or flush-mounted mailbox, as a freestanding or as a key mailbox, e.g. Can be used for car rental companies.
  • the mailbox is distinguished from conventional mailboxes in that the inserted mail is reliably protected against unauthorized access and from the effects of weather. In addition, it allows a frontal throw of the postal matter, without this being kinked when throwing.
  • the mailbox system is made up of several modular mailboxes.
  • Mailboxes are generally differentiated into those with frontal and overhead letterbox slots.
  • the mailboxes with top-lying letter slot have the advantage that even if they have a relatively small installation depth, larger letters, catalogs and smaller consignments can easily be thrown into the mailbox, without this being kinked.
  • the disadvantage is that, especially if, in order to allow the throw-in of larger mail, the letter insertion slot is made wide, the mail is protected only very inadequate from unauthorized access. Because the mail can often already be grasped with the bare hands or at least removed with simple aids from the mailbox. By design, the mailboxes are not well suited for installation (e.g., in front doors).
  • Another disadvantage of these mailboxes is that if the shutter (for example, by the wind) is opened, rainwater can enter the mailbox unhindered.
  • Mailboxes with frontal letter slot provide, especially if they are high and flat (shallow depth) executed, improved protection against unauthorized access to the mail. Also, if the letter slot is provided with a vertically arranged protective flap, virtually no rainwater get into the mailbox.
  • the mailboxes are well suited for installation, but larger ones can Mail items can not be thrown without bending them, if the mailboxes, which is usually the case in particular with installation mailboxes, have a comparatively small depth.
  • the invention is based on the object to find a comparatively inexpensive mailbox, which allows for a small installation depth a frontal throw of mailings without these are kinked when throwing.
  • the mailbox is also intended to protect the inserted mail safely against unauthorized access and from the weather.
  • the mailbox consists of a box-shaped chute for the mail item, which is provided on its upper side with a throw-in opening and on its underside with a transfer opening, arranged below the chute tray, which serves to receive the inserted mail, and a housing , which encloses both the insertion chute and the collecting tray and which has at least one front plate.
  • the collection tray is equipped with at least one removal door for the mail. At its top, the collection tray is provided with a transfer opening.
  • the insertion chute has in each case on the front panel of the enclosure side facing a front wall, which is adapted in its geometry to at least one introduced into the front panel of the housing recess that it fits exactly into this recess.
  • the chute is also attached by means of a bearing device to the housing, that it can be pivoted between two end positions back and forth.
  • the front wall of the insertion shaft extends at an angle to the front panel of the enclosure, and thus the insertion opening protrudes beyond the front panel; the throw-in opening is therefore not covered by the door.
  • the transfer opening is pivoted in front of a fixed in the interior of the housing and (in this position of the insertion chute) approximately perpendicular to the front wall of the chute slot extending barrier that the transfer opening is completely covered by the barrier.
  • tilting the chute inevitably forms an opening between the outside lower edge of the chute and the front panel of the door, which forms part of the transfer opening releases.
  • this opening is completely covered with an open mailbox by means of a movable shutter, preferably by means of a sheet which is pivoted when opening the mailbox in a horizontal position.
  • the front wall of the insertion chute runs parallel to the front panel and fits exactly into the at least one recess in the front panel.
  • the opening is pivoted below the front panel or the interior of the housing so that it is completely covered by the front panel and / or the housing; as a result, it is no longer accessible from the outside.
  • the transfer opening of the chute and the transfer opening of the collection tray are directly opposite, so that the mail can fall without hanging from the chute into the collection tray or can slide.
  • the mailbox is particularly suitable for integration in front doors.
  • the front panel of the enclosure is then formed by the front panel of the front door and at least parts of the sidewalls of the enclosure are formed by the edges of the recess required for inserting the mailbox in the front door.
  • the mailbox can also be readily used as a surface or concealed mailbox, as a freestanding mailbox or as a mailbox, for example, for car dealers and car rental companies to return the keys and vehicle documents.
  • the front panel of the enclosure and the front wall of the insertion shaft are arranged to each other so that they lie in a plane when the insertion shaft is in the second end position.
  • the insertion chute is equipped with a safety lid to close the insertion opening.
  • the safety hinged lid is pivotally mounted on the chute by means of a hinge which is located in the region of the upper side and the side of the insertion chute facing away from the front wall.
  • the safety hinged lid is designed in its geometry so that it can completely cover the insertion opening of the insertion shaft. In the second end position of the chute, the safety lid is blocked by the front panel of the housing against opening.
  • the bottom of the collection tray is tilted by 10 to 50 ° from the horizontal in the direction of the front panel, preferably by inserting a floor panel .
  • a floor panel As soon as the lower edge of a piece of mail hits the sloping floor panel, it slips along the sloping floor in the direction of the front panel, i. the mail item tilts away from the front panel.
  • rainwater As the floor is tilted towards the front panel, rainwater, which may u. into the mailbox, out in the direction of the (outwardly facing) front panel and finally via a suitable discharge system from the mailbox.
  • the safety hinged lid can also be equipped with a deflector, which opens the safety hinged lid a bit, as soon as the chute is pivoted to the first end position.
  • a rocker arm (as a reversal) attached, which encloses an angle of at least 90 ° with the safety hinged lid and is pressed with its open chute with its side facing away from the hinge against the front panel of the housing.
  • the transfer opening in the direction away from the front wall direction has a greater depth than the transfer opening of the throw-in shaft.
  • the complete rear wall of the insertion chute is designed as a pivotable flap, which is fastened by means of a rotary hinge to the rear upper edge of the insertion chute.
  • a first overhead section of the rear of the chute which extends at most over one third of the total height and the entire width of the chute, is provided with a rigidly connected wall.
  • a second section which is provided with a pivotally mounted by means of a rotary hinge which is adjacent to the lower edge of the rigidly connected wall flap.
  • the pivotally mounted flap extends back over the entire width of the insertion shaft and extends to a maximum of the lower edge of the insertion shaft.
  • the front of the collection tray through the front panel and the back of the collection tray is formed by the back of the enclosure, both the back of the enclosure as well as the front panel are provided with a removal door. If the mailbox is integrated into a front door, in a door side part or in a house wall, the removal door in the front panel is made lockable because it is located outside the house.
  • the back of the collection tray formed by the back of the housing and at least the back of the housing is equipped with a removal door
  • it is further provided above the transfer opening and this completely overlapping one to arrange by an angle of 5 to 60 ° in the direction of the (rear) removal door tilted tilted baffle, wherein that edge of the baffle, which is turned in the direction of the removal door, extends right up to the door opening of the removal door.
  • the removal door on the back is permanently opened in case of a longer absence of the residents. The entire dropped mail then no longer falls as usual through the transfer opening into the collection tray, but is directed by the baffle through the door opening the removal door into the house, whereby the mailbox receives the functionality of a mail-through letterbox.
  • Fig. 1 Fully integrated into the front door 1 mailbox consists essentially of the insertion chute 2, which is provided on the top with the insertion opening 3 and on the bottom with the transfer port 4, and the collecting tray 5, which has at its top the transfer opening 6 and its closed Floor is tilted at an angle of approximately 30 ° towards the inside of the house opposite the horizontal.
  • the chute 2 is located above the collecting tray 5. About two hinges 7, which allow tilting of the chute between an open (position 1) and a closed (position 2) end position, it is connected to the front door 1.
  • the insertion chute 2 and the collecting tray 5 are aligned with each other so that the transfer opening 4 of the insertion chute 2 and the transfer opening 6 of the collecting tray 5 directly opposite each other.
  • the transfer opening 6 is made larger than the transfer opening 4, which ensures that the thrown-in mail 8 without hanging from the chute 2 in the collection tray 5 can slide.
  • the lower portion of the rear wall of the chute 2 is designed as a flap 10 which is fixed by means of the rotary hinge 11 at the back of the chute 2. By swinging the flap 10, the lower part of the chute can expand, so that even postal items, such as thick newspapers that fit only compressed in the chute 2 and thus can easily jam in the chute, safely slide into the collection tray 5.
  • the insertion opening 3 of the chute 2 is covered in the closed position by the safety lid 12 which is pivotally mounted by a hinge 13 at the rear end of the top of the chute 2 and whose outward-facing side is blocked by the front panel 14 of the front door 1 so that he can not be opened.
  • the collecting tray 5 is equipped on the outside of the mailbox with the removal door 16.1, through which the thrown mail 8 can be removed from outside the house.
  • both the front of the removal door 16.1 and the front of the chute 2 are recessed in recesses in the front panel 14 which are geometrically adapted in shape; wherein the front panel 14, the removal door 16.1 and the insertion chute 2 form a plane.
  • a mailbox with a chute 2 is shown in the open position.
  • the collection tray 5 is equipped with one of the outside 16.1 and from the inside 16.2 operable removal door, shown in side sectional view.
  • the chute 2 is in Fig. 3 in the open end position (position 2) and in Fig. 4 in the closed end position (position 1).
  • a contract bag pocket 18 is optionally attached, which contains envelopes provided with order forms.
  • customers can remove an envelope from the order pocket compartment 18 through an unlocked door of the request pocket compartment 18 integrated into the removal door 16.1, note the order on the envelope, insert keys and vehicle papers into the envelope, and then transfer the envelope to the insertion slot Throw 2. After closing the chute 2, the envelope falls into the collection tray 5, where it is protected against unauthorized access.
  • the shutter 17 is pivotally attached to the front, bottom and inward-facing edge of the chute.
  • the shutter 17 is vertically slidably connected to the front panel 14 by means of two pins (not shown) fixed to opposite corners of this side of the shutter and each engaged with a guide rail (not shown) fixed to the front panel 14.
  • the deflection 19 is fixed at the height of the hinge 13, which includes an angle of greater than 90 ° with the safety cover 12 and pressed in the open position of the chute 2 with its end facing away from the hinge against the front panel 14 of the front door 1 is, whereby the safety flap lid 12 is raised and the insertion opening 3 is released.
  • the made of sheet metal barrier 20 is pivotally connected to the inside of the rear wall of the front door via a hinge 21. It consists of a shorter leg 22 and a longer leg 23, which together form an angle of approximately 110 °. Is the chute 2 in the open position ( Fig. 3 ), then presses his inside the door facing lower edge against the shorter leg 22, whereby the longer leg 23, which is made slightly larger than the transfer port 4 of the insertion chute 2, is pivoted in front of the transfer port 4 and closes it. If the chute 2 pivoted to the closed position, then the barrier plate 20 folds down due to its own weight, whereby an enlargement of the transfer opening 6 is achieved.
  • the at least one latch 24 makes it possible to block the insertion chute, when it is in the closed position, from tilting into the open position. In this way, the insertion of letters, for example during a long absence of the residents, can be prevented.
