Dabei ist eine c-förmige Form bestehend aus der Vorderfront und zwei Seitenwänden vorgesehen, die aus einer Blechtafel hergestellt werden. Zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, die Rückwand zusätzlich zur C-Form aus Vorderfront und den beiden Seitenwänden ebenfalls aus derselben Blechtafel zu bilden. DE 299 05 992 U1 relates to a solution for such a housing. In this case, a circumferential jacket of the housing is formed from a bent metal part. In this case, a C-shaped form consisting of the front and two side walls is provided, which are made of a metal sheet. In addition, it can be provided to form the rear wall in addition to the C-shape from the front and the two side walls also from the same metal sheet.

Zum Schließen des umlaufenden Mantels ist mindestens eine sichtbare Naht zwischen einer Seitenwand und der Rückwand erforderlich.At least one visible seam between a side wall and the rear wall is required to close the circulating shell.

Aus der FR 1.551.189 ist ein Briefkasten mit einem C-förmigen Gehäuse bekannt, der einstückig ausgebildet ist, und der durch Trennwände in verschiedene Fächer geteilt werden kann.From the FR 1,551,189 a mailbox with a C-shaped housing is known, which is integrally formed, and which can be divided by partitions into different compartments.

Eine analoge Gestaltung zeigt auch die FR 2 716 791 .An analogous design also shows the FR 2 716 791 ,

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die besteht in der einfachen Realisierbarkeit von Briefkastenanlagen umfassend mehrere getrennte Fächer.The invention is based on the object, which consists in the simple feasibility of letterbox systems comprising several separate compartments.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Briefkastenanlage mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the letterbox system with the features of claim 1.

Eine Teilung des Gehäuses in verschiedene Abschnitte kann so einfach durch Festlegen der Trennelemente an der Gehäusewand erfolgen, ohne dass für die separaten Fächer eigene Gehäuse bereitgestellt werden müssen. Die Anpassbarkeit an die individuelle Anforderung ist so besonders gut und mit geringem Materialeinsatz möglich.A division of the housing into different sections can be done so easily by fixing the partition elements on the housing wall, without having to be provided for the separate compartments own housing. The adaptability to the individual requirement is so particularly good and possible with little use of materials.

Das Gehäuse ist dabei bzgl. der Seiten bzw. Rückwand einstückig als c-förmiges Teil und damit ohne Stoßstellen oder Nähte ausgebildet.The housing is in terms of. The sides or rear wall in one piece as a c-shaped part and thus formed without joints or seams.

Dabei weist das Trennelement eine Blende auf, die einander gegenüberliegende Seiten der Gehäusewand, die Gehäuseöffnung zumindest teilweise verschließend, verbindet. So kann durch Wahl der Blendenform die Größe der verbleibenden Gehäuseöffnung einfach variabel angepasst werden. Vorteilhafterweise weisen das Trennelement und der Trennbereich miteinander korrespondierende Verbindungsmittel zur Befestigung des Trennelements am Gehäuse auf.In this case, the separating element has a diaphragm which connects opposite sides of the housing wall, at least partially closing the housing opening. Thus, by choosing the aperture shape, the size of the remaining housing opening can be easily adjusted variably. Advantageously, the separating element and the separating region have mutually corresponding connecting means for fastening the separating element to the housing.

Die Blende weist Befestigungsmittel zum Anschlagen eines beweglichen Elements zum Verschließen eines Teils der Gehäuseöffnung auf. Dadurch kann beispielsweise eine Türe oder eine Klappe für einzelne Abschnitte an der Blende befestigt werden.The bezel has fastening means for abutting a movable element for closing a part of the housing opening. As a result, for example, a door or a flap for individual sections can be attached to the panel.

Vorteilhafterweise umfasst die Gehäusewand mindestens einen von der jeweiligen Gehäusewand vorstehenden Bereich, der im Trennbereich unterbrochen ist. Der vorstehende Bereich überlappt so mit der Türe oder Klappe und ermöglicht so ein sicheres Verschließen der Gehäuseöffnung sowie das Freistellen der beweglichen Elemente.Advantageously, the housing wall comprises at least one area protruding from the respective housing wall, which is interrupted in the separation area. The projecting area thus overlaps with the door or flap, thereby enabling a secure closure of the housing opening and the release of the movable elements.

Vorteilhafterweise weist die Seitenwand einen in Richtung der Gehäuseöffnung abgewinkelten Rand auf, der den vorstehenden Bereich trägt. Der abgewinkelte Rand überlappt mit dem beweglichen Element, insbesondere mit der Türe oder Klappe und ermöglicht ebenfalls ein sicheres Verschließen der Gehäuseöffnung.Advantageously, the side wall has an angled in the direction of the housing opening edge, the above Area carries. The angled edge overlaps with the movable element, in particular with the door or flap and also allows a secure closing of the housing opening.

Vorteilhafterweise überragt die Blende den abgewinkelten Rand zumindest teilweise. Sofern in diesem Bereich die Verbindungsmittel vorgesehen sind, ist eine einfache Zugänglichkeit gewährleistet.Advantageously, the panel projects beyond the angled edge at least partially. If the connecting means are provided in this area, easy accessibility is ensured.

Als Verbindungsmittel kommen z. B. Nieten, Schrauben oder auch elastisch verformbare Rastelemente in Frage. Eine Vorsehung der Verbindungsmittel kann im Bereich des abgewinkelten Randes sowie der Rückseite des Gehäuses oder auch der Seitenwände vorgesehen sein.As connecting means z. As rivets, screws or elastically deformable locking elements in question. A provision of the connecting means may be provided in the region of the angled edge and the back of the housing or the side walls.

Vorteilhafterweise ist im vorstehenden Bereich mindestens eine Aussparung vorgesehen. Die Aussparung dient der Aufnahme eines Korrespondierenden Teils der Türe oder Klappe und ermöglicht ein sicheres Schließen der Gehäuseöffnung.Advantageously, at least one recess is provided in the above area. The recess serves to receive a corresponding part of the door or flap and allows a secure closing of the housing opening.

Vorteilhafterweise ist die mindestens eine Aussparung vom äußeren Rand des vorstehenden Bereichs in Richtung der Innenseite des Gehäuses verlaufend vorgesehen. Die besondere Form der Aussparung ermöglicht es besonders gut, die Türe und die Klappe im Bereich der Aussparung ebenfalls überlappen zu lassen.Advantageously, the at least one recess is provided extending from the outer edge of the projecting portion in the direction of the inside of the housing. The special shape of the recess also makes it possible to overlap the door and the flap in the area of the recess.

Vorteilhafterweise bildet ein Trennelement den Boden oder den Deckel des kastenförmigen Gehäuses. Dadurch kann die Anzahl der notwendigen Teile reduziert werden. Alternativ können auch eigene Deckel- und Bodenelemente verwendet werden.Advantageously, a separating element forms the bottom or the lid of the box-shaped housing. Thereby, the number of necessary parts can be reduced. Alternatively, own lid and floor elements can be used.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Trennelement vollflächig über den gesamten Querschnitt des kastenförmigen Gehäuses ausgebildet. Dadurch werden die einzelnen Teilbereiche des Gehäuses vollständig voneinander getrennt.Advantageously, the separating element is formed over the entire surface over the entire cross section of the box-shaped housing.

Figur 1a und Figur 1b zeigen perspektivische Ansichten eines kastenförmigen Gehäuses 130. Das Gehäuse 130 umfasst eine Rückwand 110 und zwei Seitenwände 120. Die so entstehende Gehäusewand ist beispielsweise als Blechbiegeteil aus einem Stück einer Blechtafel hergestellt. Dadurch sind weder an den Ecken des so entstehenden kastenförmigen Gehäuses 130 noch an dessen Flächen Verbindungsnähte der Seiten 120 mit der Rückwand 110 erforderlich. FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b show perspective views of a box-shaped housing 130. The housing 130 includes a rear wall 110 and two side walls 120. The resulting housing wall is made for example as a sheet metal bent part of a piece of metal sheet. As a result, seams of the sides 120 to the rear wall 110 are required neither at the corners of the resulting box-shaped housing 130 nor on its surfaces.

Vorzugsweise sind die Seitenwände 120 im Winkel von 90° zur jeweiligen Rückwand 110 abgewinkelt. Andere Winkel können jedoch ebenfalls verwendet werden.Preferably, the side walls 120 are angled at 90 ° to the respective rear wall 110. However, other angles can also be used.

Das Gehäuse 130 umfasst eine Gehäuseöffnung 140, die der Rückwand 110 gegenüberliegt. Zudem umfasst das Gehäuse 130 einen ersten offenen Abschnitt 150 und einen dem ersten offenen Abschnitt 150 gegenüberliegenden zweiten offenen Abschnitt 155, die jeweils von den Seitenwänden 120 und der Rückwand 110 begrenzt sind.The housing 130 includes a housing opening 140 that faces the rear wall 110. In addition, the housing 130 includes a first open portion 150 and a second open portion 155 opposite the first open portion 150 bounded by the side walls 120 and the back wall 110, respectively.

Das Gehäuse 130 umfasst zudem einen oder mehrere von der jeweiligen Gehäusewand 120 vorstehenden Bereiche 160. Dabei sind an beiden Seitenwänden 120 in Richtung der Gehäuseöffnung 140 abgewinkelte Ränder 121 vorgesehen sein, die den vorstehenden Bereich 160 tragen.The housing 130 also includes one or more of the respective housing wall 120 projecting portions 160. In this case, 120 are on both side walls in the direction of the housing opening 140 angled edges 121 may be provided which carry the projecting portion 160.

Vorzugsweise sind die Ränder 121 zum einen im Winkel von 90° zur jeweiligen Seitenwand 120 in Richtung der Gehäuseöffnung 140 abgewinkelt. Zum anderen ist die Vorderseite der Ränder 121 ein weiteres Mal in Richtung der Außenseite des Gehäuses 130 abgewinkelt, und bilden so die vorstehenden Bereiche 160. Vorzugsweise ist die Vorderseite zur Bildung der Bereiche 160 im Winkel von 90° abgewinkelt. Andere Winkel können ebenfalls verwendet werden.Preferably, the edges 121 are angled at an angle of 90 ° to the respective side wall 120 in the direction of the housing opening 140. On the other hand, the front of the edges 121 is angled once more towards the outside of the housing 130, thus forming the projecting portions 160. Preferably, the front side is angled at 90 ° to form the portions 160. Other angles can also be used.

Das Gehäuse 130 umfasst zudem mehrere Trennelemente 170, die die Gehäuseöffnung 140 und das Gehäuse 130 in Abschnitte unterteilen. Weiterhin ist ein unteres Element als Boden 171 und ein oberes Element als Deckel 172 des Gehäuses 130 vorgesehen, und diese verschließen so die Abschnitte 150 und 155. Die Trennelemente 170 sind als Zwischenböden 173 vorgesehen.The housing 130 also includes a plurality of separators 170 that divide the housing opening 140 and the housing 130 into sections. Furthermore, a lower element is provided as a bottom 171 and an upper element as a cover 172 of the housing 130, and these thus close the sections 150 and 155. The separating elements 170 are provided as intermediate floors 173.

Die als Boden 171 oder Deckel 172 vorgesehenen Elemente können von den Trennelementen 170, die als Zwischenböden 173 vorgesehen sind, vorliegend abweichen. Um die Anzahl der voneinander verschiedenen Teile des Gehäuses 130 zu reduzieren, können die Elemente, die als Boden 171 oder Deckel 172 vorgesehen sind auch identisch zu den als Zwischenböden 173 verwendeten Trennelementen 170 sein.The elements provided as bottom 171 or cover 172 may differ from the separating elements 170, which are provided as intermediate floors 173, in the present case. In order to reduce the number of mutually different parts of the housing 130, the elements provided as bottom 171 or cover 172 may also be identical to the separating elements 170 used as intermediate floors 173.

Im Beispiel ist der Deckel 172 als Steg ausgebildet, der die Seitenwände 120 miteinander verbindet, ohne den ersten offenen Abschnitt 150 vollflächig zu verschließen. Der Boden 171 ist dagegen so ausgebildet, dass er den zweiten offenen Abschnitt 155 vollflächig verschließt.In the example, the lid 172 is formed as a web which connects the side walls 120 together without completely closing the first open section 150. On the other hand, the bottom 171 is formed to completely close the second open portion 155.

Die Zwischenböden 173 und der Boden 171 weisen dabei an den Außenkanten, die nach dem Einbau an den Seitenwänden 120 und der Rückwand 110 anliegen, abgewinkelte Ränder 177 auf.The shelves 173 and the bottom 171 have in this case at the outer edges, after installation on the side walls 120 and abut the rear wall 110, angled edges 177 on.

Das Trennelement 170 umfasst eine Fläche 174, die im Wesentlichen der von Seitenwänden 120, der Rückwand und der Gehäuseöffnung 140 umschlossenen Fläche entspricht und ist vorzugsweise vollflächig ausgebildet. Zudem umfasst das Trennelement 170 eine Blende 175, die zur Fläche 174 in vorgegebenem Winkel abgewinkelt ist.The separating element 170 comprises a surface 174 which substantially corresponds to the surface enclosed by side walls 120, the rear wall and the housing opening 140 and is preferably formed over the entire surface. In addition, the separating element 170 comprises a diaphragm 175, which is angled to the surface 174 at a predetermined angle.

Im Beispiel ist das Trennelement 170 im Winkel von 90° zur Rückwand und den Seitenwänden angeordnet und die Blende 175 ist im Winkel von 90° zum Trennelement 170 abgewinkelt. Andere Winkel sind jedoch ebenfalls möglich.In the example, the separating element 170 is arranged at an angle of 90 ° to the rear wall and the side walls and the aperture 175 is angled at 90 ° to the separating element 170. Other angles are also possible.

Das heißt, dass die Blende 175 gegenüberliegende Seiten der Gehäusewand die Gehäuseöffnung 140 teilweise verschließend verbindet. Die Blende 175 bildet dadurch im eingebauten Zustand des Trennelements 170 einen zumindest teilweise sichtbaren Teil der Vorderseite des Gehäuses 130.That is, the bezel 175 connects opposite sides of the housing wall partially closing the housing opening 140. The panel 175 thereby forms an at least partially visible part of the front of the housing 130 in the installed state of the partition member 170.

Dabei können die Blende 175 sowie der Deckel 172 Abwinkelungen aufweisen die im Winkel von vorzugsweise 90° sowie 180° zur Blende 175° bzw. dem Deckel 172 verlaufen und eine Aufnahme für z.B. Scharniere bilden können sowie einen Regenschutz.In this case, the aperture 175 and the cover 172 may have angled portions which extend at an angle of preferably 90 ° and 180 ° to the aperture 175 ° or the cover 172 and a receptacle for e.g. Hinges can form as well as a rain cover.

Die Trennelemente 170 verfügen somit über vordere Bereiche, die im eingebauten Zustand einen Teil der Vorderseite bilden können.The dividing elements 170 thus have front areas which, when installed, can form part of the front side.

Das Gehäuse 130 umfasst einen Trennbereich 180 des Trennelements 170. In dem Trennbereich 180 ist der vorstehende Bereich 160 vorzugsweise unterbrochen.The housing 130 comprises a separation region 180 of the separation element 170. In the separation region 180, the protruding region 160 is preferably interrupted.

Das Trennelement 170 und der Trennbereich 180 des Trennelements 170 weisen miteinander korrespondierende Verbindungsmittel zur Befestigung des Trennelements 170 am Gehäuse 130 auf. Als Verbindungsmittel dienen beispielsweise Nieten, die das jeweilige Trennelement 170 an geeigneten Stellen 190 mit dem jeweiligen Trennbereich 180 des Bodens 170 verbinden. Schrauben oder andere Verbindungsmittel sind ebenfalls möglich.The separating element 170 and the separating region 180 of the separating element 170 have mutually corresponding connecting means for fastening the separating element 170 on Housing 130 on. Rivets, for example, which connect the respective separating element 170 at suitable points 190 to the respective separating region 180 of the bottom 170 serve as connecting means. Screws or other connecting means are also possible.

Zusätzlich können im vorstehenden Bereich 160 Aussparungen 161 vorgesehen sein. Die Aussparungen 161 erstrecken sind vom äußeren Rand des vorstehenden Bereichs 160 in Richtung der Innenseite des Gehäuses 130.In addition, 160 recesses 161 may be provided in the above area. The recesses 161 extend from the outer edge of the protruding portion 160 toward the inside of the housing 130.

Vorzugsweise überragt die Blende 175 zumindest teilweise die abgewinkelten Ränder 121 im Trennbereich 180, in dem das Gehäuse 130 keinen vorstehenden Bereich 160 aufweist. Die Blende 175 ist beispielsweise so geformt, dass sie beidseitig mit den Außenkanten der Seitenwände 120 abschließt.Preferably, the diaphragm 175 at least partially projects beyond the angled edges 121 in the separation region 180, in which the housing 130 has no protruding region 160. For example, the aperture 175 is shaped so that it closes on both sides with the outer edges of the side walls 120.

Figur 2 zeigt schematisch eine Vorderansicht eines Briefkastens 100 umfassend das Gehäuse 130. Figur 3 zeigt schematisch eine Seitenansicht des Briefkastens 100 im Schnitt A-A. Figur 4 zeigt Details des Befestigungsmittels für ein bewegliches Element zum Verschließen zumindest eines Teils der Gehäuseöffnung 140 am Beispiel des Bereichs B. Bauteile die den Teilen des oben beschriebenen Gehäuses 130 entsprechen sind in den Figuren 2 bis 4 identisch bezeichnet. FIG. 2 schematically shows a front view of a mailbox 100 comprising the housing 130th FIG. 3 schematically shows a side view of the mailbox 100 in section AA. FIG. 4 shows details of the movable member fixing means for closing at least a part of the housing opening 140 using the example of the area B. Components corresponding to the parts of the above-described housing 130 are shown in FIGS FIGS. 2 to 4 identically labeled.

Beispielsweise sind als Befestigungsmittel ein Scharnier 310 oder ein Klappscharnier 320 vorgesehen, die mit Zapfen 330 fixiert oder festgenietet sind. Andere Verbindungsmittel, wie Schrauben, Nieten, Rastelemente oder Klammern können auch vorgesehen sein.For example, a hinge 310 or a folding hinge 320 are provided as fastening means, which are fixed with pegs 330 or riveted. Other connecting means, such as screws, rivets, locking elements or brackets may also be provided.

Eine Türe 340 ist beispielsweise über das Scharnier 310 verbunden. Weitere Türen, wie die in Figur 4 teilweise dargestellte Türe 360 sind im Beispiel genauso angeschlagen.A door 340 is connected, for example, via the hinge 310. Other doors, like those in FIG. 4 partially shown door 360 are just as struck in the example.

Die Türe 340 ist über das Scharnier 310 so drehbar, dass sie sich nach unten, in Richtung des Bodens 171 des Gehäuses 130 bewegen lässt. Dadurch wird ein durch die jeweiligen Trennelemente 170 begrenztes Fach über den von der Türe 340 verschlossenen Teil der Gehäuseöffnung 140 zugänglich.The door 340 is rotatable via the hinge 310 so that it can be moved downwards, in the direction of the bottom 171 of the housing 130. As a result, a compartment bounded by the respective separating elements 170 is accessible via the part of the housing opening 140 which is closed by the door 340.

Die Türen 340, 360 sind auf ihrer dem jeweiligen Scharnier 310 gegenüberliegenden Seite in Richtung der Innenseite des Gehäuses 130 abgewinkelt. Dies wird im Folgenden am Beispiel der Türe 360 erläutert.The doors 340, 360 are angled on their side facing the respective hinge 310 in the direction of the inside of the housing 130. This will be explained below using the example of the door 360.

Der Winkel ist vorzugsweise so gewählt, dass der abgewinkelte Teil 361 der Türe 360 im geschlossenen Zustand der Türe 360 im Wesentlichen parallel zur jeweiligen Aussparung 161 verläuft.The angle is preferably selected so that the angled portion 361 of the door 360 in the closed state of the door 360 is substantially parallel to the respective recess 161.

Eine Klappe 350 ist beispielsweise als bewegliches Element über das Klappscharnier 320 verbunden. Die Klappe 350 überragt im geschlossenen Zustand der Türe 360 den abgewinkelten Teil 361.A flap 350 is connected, for example, as a movable element via the folding hinge 320. The flap 350 projects beyond the angled part 361 in the closed state of the door 360.

Durch diese Anordnung der Türe 360 und der Klappe 350 wird ein Eingriff 370 zum Öffnen der Klappe gebildet.By this arrangement of the door 360 and the flap 350, an opening 370 for opening the flap is formed.

Die Klappe 350 weist dabei vorzugsweise einen umgeschlagenen Teil 351 auf, der als Griff zum Öffnen der Klappe 360 dient.The flap 350 preferably has a folded-over part 351, which serves as a handle for opening the flap 360.

Diese Ausgestaltungen der Vorderseite des Briefkastens 100 haben auch den Vorteil, dass die Verbindungstechnik zwischen den Seitenwänden und der so entstehenden Vorderseite auch bei geöffneter Türe optisch von außen nicht wahrnehmbar ist. Erfindungsgemäß trägt die Blende 175 das Befestigungsmittel, beispielsweise das Scharnier 310 oder das Klappscharnier 320, zum Anschlagen des Beweglichen Elements, beispielsweise der Türe 340, 360 oder der Klappe 350, zum Verschließen zumindest eines Teils der Gehäuseöffnung 140 auf.These embodiments of the front side of the mailbox 100 also have the advantage that the connection technology between the side walls and the resulting front side is not perceptible visually from the outside even when the door is open. According to the invention, the screen 175 carries the fastening means, for example the hinge 310 or the folding hinge 320, for striking the movable element, for example the door 340, 360 or the flap 350, for closing at least a portion of the housing opening 140.

Somit entsteht ein geschlossenes Gehäuse, bei dem keine Nieten, Schrauben oder Nähte der Verbindungstechnik zum Verbinden der Gehäuseseiten von außen wahrnehmbar sind.This creates a closed housing in which no rivets, screws or seams of the connection technology for connecting the sides of the housing from the outside are perceptible.

Der Boden 171 und der Deckel 172 können ebenfalls mit einer Blende 175 geeigneter Form ausgebildet sein, die den unteren bzw. oberen Abschluss der Vorderseite des Briefkastens 100 bilden.The bottom 171 and the lid 172 may also be formed with a shutter 175 of suitable shape, which form the lower and upper end of the front of the mailbox 100.

Das kastenförmige Gehäuse 130 ist beispielsweise Teil einer Briefkastenanlage. Dabei kann eines oder können mehrere der kastenförmigen Gehäuse 130 neben- oder übereinander angeordnet sein.The box-shaped housing 130 is part of a mailbox system, for example. In this case, one or more of the box-shaped housing 130 may be arranged side by side or one above the other.
