Description

  The present invention relates to a storage box for mails and the like installed in an apartment house such as an apartment, and more particularly, to a storage box in which it is difficult to pull out an input such as mails inserted from an input port.

Housings such as condominiums are equipped with a storage box for each residence that has an entrance for mail and other outlets.
Some of these containment boxes are installed inside the entrance doors and sleeve panels of each house, and some are installed in the collective mailbox room.・ The mails that have been posted are taken out and received from the outlet.

  This type of storage box has a structure in which the leading end side of the input material is inserted between the insertion guide vane of the input port and the opening / closing lid, and is pushed into the guide vane to be dropped into the storage box.

  According to the applicant's investigation, there was no anti-theft containing storage box in the prior art document that made it difficult to pull out mail or the like put in the box from the slot.

  In this type of conventional mail storage box, if the input is not completely thrown into the box and the rear end stays between the guide vane and the opening / closing lid, the opening / closing lid is pushed inward to pull it back. As a result, there is a problem that it is possible to easily steal mails of others.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a storage box that can be easily removed from the box even if the rear end of the input is hung on the input port, thereby contributing to theft prevention.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the mail box of the present invention has a housing provided with an input opening and an opening / closing door on one side and an extraction opening on the other side. At the center of the upper wall separated by a predetermined dimension to the inside, it hangs downward in the normal state, and is pushed by the tip of the insertion side of the input to rotate upward inside the housing, and the input of the input into the housing A check rotating member that is locked at the original downward hanging position and interferes with removal of the input material is provided.

  In the mail box of the present invention, a check rotating member is installed downward in the center of the upper wall of the housing away from the insertion port, and this check rotating member has the upper pivot support shaft as a fulcrum. The inside of the box is rotated and the rotation from the downward locking position to the insertion port side is prevented, so the mail that faces the insertion port can be opened with your fingers. However, even if it is attempted to be pulled out, theft is prevented by the interference of the pulling out by the tip of the check rotating member.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mail box 1 of the present invention has a housing 7 attached to an inner opening edge of a front door or a sleeve panel (not shown).
The housing 7 is a rectangular box having a predetermined width, depth and height for receiving an input such as various toilet articles, and an input port 2 for the input is provided on one side (front side). On the other side (the rear surface side in the embodiment shown in the figure), an input outlet 6 is provided.

  A horizontally long opening / closing lid 4 that pivots in the housing inner arrow X direction to open / close the insertion port 2 is pivotally mounted on the upper portion of the insertion port 2 of the housing 7, and a closed position ( A horizontally long guide vane 3 having a predetermined depth width is disposed below the solid line position), and an input 5 (see FIG. 2) inserted between the guide vane 3 of the input port 2 and the open / close lid 4 is the open / close lid 4. Is pushed and opened in the box 8.

  In the mail box 1 having such a configuration, the main feature of the present invention is that a check rotating member 9 is provided at the center of the upper wall that is spaced from the opening / closing door 4 of the insertion port 2 to the inside 8 of the box by a predetermined width. It is in the arrangement.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the check rotating member 9 in the illustrated embodiment includes a rotating spring main body 9a made of a U-shaped wire that hangs downward from the central portion of the upper wall, and the rotating spring 9a. It is comprised with the spring holder 10 which supports.

The rotary spring body 9a is made of a spring material which is bent at the left and right upper ends of U-shaped wire rods to form support shafts 9b and 9b. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. It consists of a U-shaped frame 10b that is fixed to the center of the upper wall via a mounting screw hole 10a, and the rotation between the bearings 10c, 10c provided on the left and right side plates of the U-shaped frame 10b. An opening 10d for penetrating the spring body 9a is formed.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rotating spring body 9 a is formed in a horizontal bent portion where one end 9 b-1 of the left and right support shafts 9 b and 9 b bent outward is directed toward the inlet 2 side of the housing 7. In addition, the other spindle end 9b-2 is formed in a gently curved portion directed toward the take-out port 6 of the housing 7.

  Thus, the check rotating member 9 hangs the U-shaped spring portion of the rotating spring body 9 a through the opening 10 d of the spring holder 10 and the left and right support shafts 9 b and 9 b of the rotating spring body 9 a on the left and right sides of the holder 10. The left and right support shaft tips 9 b-1 and 9 b-2 are brought into contact with or close to the upper wall of the housing 7 and are attached to the center of the upper wall of the housing 7.

With the above configuration, when the input 5 is inserted from the input port 4, the rotation spring body 9 a of the check rotation member 9 is rotated in the direction of the take-out port 6 of the housing 7, that is, in the arrow Y direction. The object 5 can be thrown in.
On the other hand, when the press engagement between the input 5 and the rotary spring main body 9a is released, the curved distal end portion of the other support shaft tip 9b-2 of the rotary spring main body 9a is brought into sliding contact with the upper wall. The main body 9a gradually returns to the original drooping position. At this return position, the one support shaft tip 9b-1 of the rotating spring body 9a is brought into contact with and locked on the upper wall of the housing 7, and the rotation toward the insertion port 4 is interfered.

  In general, in a state where the rear end of the input material 5 faces the input port 2, the input material can be pulled out while pushing the opening / closing lid 4 into the housing. 9 intervenes, it is difficult to pull out the article 5 by interfering with the tip of the rotating spring main body 9a which cannot or is not allowed to rotate toward the inlet 2 even if the input 5 is to be pulled out from the inlet 2.

The installation position and the hanging length of the check turning member 9 in the housing vary depending on the size of the housing 7 and the dimensions of the input 5, but the above-mentioned input can be inserted and the pull-out limiting function is provided. Appropriately set to work.
Incidentally, it is assumed that the storage box 1 in the embodiment shown in the drawing has a size of the input 5 of 340 mm wide × 260 mm deep × 35 mm high. In this case, the vertical size of the opening 2 is 35 mm and the input 2 The depth from the position where the check turning member 9 is disposed to 55 mm is set to 55 mm, and the hanging dimension of the turning spring body 9 a is set to 30 mm.

  In addition, the guide vane 3 of the insertion port 2 has the tip of the input material 5 that is slidably contacted with the guide vane 3 opens the opening / closing lid 4 and further contacts the rotating spring member main body 9a at the hanging position, and the arrow Y An appropriate upward slope is formed so as to press in the direction.

  The structure and shape of the check rotation member 9 are not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure, but are pushed by the tip of the input 5 to rotate backward (in the direction of arrow Y) of the housing 7, so Any device having a function that restricts the rotation to the insertion port 2 from the position returned to the position can be applied.

  Since the input storage box of the present invention has an anti-theft function for the input, it can be widely used as a mailbox for a house or office.
