Description

  The present invention relates to a bag-like mailbox.

  Conventionally, a wide variety of mailboxes have been used, but a bag-like mailbox as shown in the present invention is not found.

The mailbox is attached to the building for the purpose of temporarily stocking mail and newspapers to be delivered. This can be broadly divided into those attached to entrances and doors and those that are separately provided near the building. In the former case, it is a general practice to provide an opening with a lid at the entrance door, sliding door or in the vicinity thereof, provide a box-like body inside the opening, and stock the delivered items in this box. It is a mailbox style. The delivery person presses the mail or the like against the lid, the lid opens, the mail is inserted, and falls into the box. However, since newspapers and large envelopes are longer than the box thickness, these deliverables are partly exposed and located in the opening, making it difficult to take out and getting wet when rainwater falls on them. is there. In addition, when the user is absent for several days, a plurality of inserted deliveries are exposed and the absence state is easily recognized from the outside, which is not preferable for crime prevention.
The present invention was invented to solve the above-mentioned problems related to the conventional mailbox, and provides a new and useful article that can store all delivered mail and the like and that can be easily taken out. It was developed for the purpose.

The present invention has the following configuration as means for solving the problems.
That is, a bag is formed of a transparent material having flexibility, an opening is provided in the upper part of the bag, and a slide fastener having an appropriate length is provided at an appropriate position on the side of the bag. The present invention is a mail receiving bag body configured as described above. A hook-and-loop fastener may be provided near the bag opening.

The present invention has the following effects.
1. A flexible bag opening is located around the inside of the mail receiving port, so it can accommodate the size and shape of the inserted mail, etc. Can be held.
2. By forming the bag body with a transparent material, the accommodation state can be easily recognized, and the slide fastener is used, so that the take-out is easy.
3. Use a non-transparent cloth body at the appropriate position of the bag body, or attach or adhere an opaque sheet to the bag body to prevent the other person from seeing the room condition and opening the postal receipt lid. Can do.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bag body, which is formed of a flexible net, and an opening 2 is provided at the upper part thereof, and a slide fastener 3 is provided at the middle part of the front side of the bag body across the bag body.
An upper surface fastener 4 is sewn on the upper edge of the inner front surface of the bag body, and a lower surface fastener 5 is sewn immediately below the opening on the rear inner surface of the bag body. Further, side surface fasteners 6 are respectively sewn on the inner surfaces of both ends of the opening. A hook-and-loop fastener can also be provided on the outer surface near the bag body opening.
The above is the first example of the present invention.
When using the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the slide fastener side is the front, and the opening is appropriately opened. Since a hook-and-loop fastener is adhered in advance to the upper, lower, and side of the mail receiving port on the indoor side, the hook-and-loop fastener of the opened bag body is pressed against the hook-and-loop fastener to be engaged with it, as shown in FIG. The opening of the bag is located around the mouth, and the other part of the bag is hung down. In this state, when a newspaper or mail piece is inserted from the mail receiving port, the bag is positioned so as to cover the newspaper etc., so that the slide fastener can be opened and taken out, and the original state can be obtained by returning the fastener to the original state. It becomes.
Further, when a newspaper or the like passes through the mail receiving port, it falls into the bag as it is and can be easily taken out in the same manner.
In this example, since the hooking method using the hook-and-loop fastener is adopted, the bag body can be removed and replaced as necessary. Although the bag used in the above example has a rectangular shape, the lower part may be narrow as shown by the phantom line in FIG. Since it falls along the oblique inner surface of a bag body, it can be set as the position near the center of a bag body. In addition, as a bag body having a slide fastener instead of using the surface fastener as in this example, as shown in FIG. 7, a method is used in which the bag body opening is adhered so as to surround the mail receiving opening with a commercially available adhesive tape 10. It is good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, as the suspension holding portion, annular straps 11 are attached to the four corners of the bag body opening, and a hook 12 with an adhesive having a commercially available tongue piece is adhered around the mail receiving opening, It is good also as a system of hooking and holding this string. Further, a ring made of metal or the like may be used instead of the string. FIG. 14 shows an example in which a cushion material made of sponge is adhered to a hook.
This is to prevent the string from coming off the hook at the time of taking out mail or the like from the bag, and to provide a cushioning material in contact with the inner surface of the tongue. , String detachment can be prevented.
9 to 12 show other examples of the present invention.
In the example described above, the bag body is formed by a net, but in FIG. 9, the upper part on the front side of the bag body is formed into an opaque cloth body 13 by sewing. When this example is used, even if the lid of the mailbox is pushed and looked in, this opaque cloth body makes it impossible to visually grasp the inside of the entrance, and this is an example in consideration of the crime prevention surface. In addition to this, FIG. 10 uses an opaque cloth body 14 on the entire rear surface of the bag body. For example, when the upper and lower sides of the mail receiving port are formed of a transparent material such as a glass surface, a mail piece is externally provided. This is provided for the purpose of preventing this.
In FIGS. 11 to 12, the bag body is formed by a net, and the opaque sheet 15 with adhesive is adhered to the appropriate position of the bag body, and the effect is the same as the previous example.
In FIG. 13, instead of the slide fastener, the laterally opposite end unfixed multi-layer portions of the net are provided in the lateral direction. That is, the front net of the bag body is divided into two parts, and the upper edge of the lower net is overlapped in the vicinity of the upper lower end of the front net. In addition, you may provide a multilayer part in the vertical direction.
FIG. 15 shows a variation of the present invention, in which the rear upper edge is positioned slightly below the front side of the bag, and a free portion is provided below the rear upper edge by a predetermined dimension. When hooked to the mail receptacle with a hook-and-loop fastener, in the example described above, the newspaper inserted from the mail receptacle is first inserted into the front cloth piece while pushing it up, but at this time the bag side However, in this style, part of the bag is free, so that the resistance can be reduced. Further, since the upper edge positions of the bag body opening portions are separated from each other, the bag body can hang down naturally when the hook-and-loop fastener is engaged, and can be refreshed. In this example, opaque cloth pieces are sewn on the entire upper portion of the front portion of the bag body and the entire rear portion, and the above-described effects can be obtained.
Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is characterized by the fact that a bag made of a transparent material is positioned around the mail receiving port, stably accommodates deliveries, and facilitates their removal. is there. Conventionally, since there is no such article and a system having a box as described above, an uncontained portion is generated depending on the size of a delivery item, and it is affected by rainwater or the like.
In addition, there is a commercially available retrofit basket, but there is an unaccommodated part as well, and when a large number of deliveries are made at the same time, some of them can fall to the floor without fitting in the basket. Often was. However, in the present invention, since it is a bag, the inconvenience as described above can be eliminated.

In the example described above, the bag body is formed of a net, but may be formed of a thin see-through cloth or a synthetic resin sheet. The hook-and-loop fastener may be manufactured without using the side portion only at the upper and lower portions. Alternatively, a hook-and-loop fastener may be provided on the outer surface near the opening. Further, the slide fastener as shown in the figure may be provided in the vertical direction instead of the method in which the slide fastener is provided in the horizontal direction. The length of the slide fastener is preferably a length that crosses the bag body horizontally or vertically. An adhesive layer may be provided in place of the hook-and-loop fastener. In this case, it is not necessary to previously provide the hook-and-loop fastener on the door or the like, and the release paper may be removed and adhered. Since the size of the mail receiving port is not constant, there is no significant difference, so the size of the product of the present invention is determined by itself. According to experiments, the lateral size of the bag body is suitably 210 mm to 360 mm, preferably 230 mm to 340 mm. The vertical size is suitably 380 mm to 550 mm, preferably 450 mm to 550 mm.
Even if a smaller size is selected within this range, newspaper folds and A4 envelope vertical folds can be accommodated, and larger sizes can accommodate newspaper folds.
Since the product of the present invention is a flexible article formed of a net or a cloth body, its production cost can be reduced, and by attaching a patch or a seal of an arbitrary shape on the front surface of the cloth body, it is more fashionable. Can be. It should be noted that the above-described example is an example of implementation and may have other approximate configurations. As described above, an article for a mailbox that can be used more comfortably can be obtained by the present invention.
