Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-266999

  Such alignment of the slip R in the delivery box 4 is carried out by judging the hand feeling when the tip of the slip R abuts on a slip guide (not shown) provided in the innermost part of the slip space 2. It was.

  However, when the slip R is inserted into the slip space 2 from the insertion port 53, the state of the slip R itself inserted cannot be visually checked. It was difficult to bend and align the slip R with the stamp S position.

  For this reason, the stamp R may not be stamped at a desired stamp position, and it cannot be proved that the delivery item has been delivered to the delivery box 4 reliably, resulting in inconvenience for both the recipient and the delivery person.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the problems of the prior art, and an object thereof is to provide a delivery box in which a stamp operates with a simple structure in conjunction with a state in which a receipt confirmation slip is inserted. To do.

  The invention of claim 1 is a delivery box having a door provided with a cargo receiving room, a stamp device, and a slip insertion opening, and the stamp device opens according to the stamp, the slip receiving portion, and the slip insertion amount at the time of slip insertion. The slip receiving portion is composed of a parallel rectangular upper surface portion and a lower surface portion, and a slip insertion opening formed at one end of both is fixed to the door corresponding to the slip insertion opening portion. A slit for inserting a stamp in the upper surface portion, and the shutter portion covers the slit in a freely openable and closable manner, and is parallel to the slip insertion port portion and parallel to the slip insertion port portion and a first vertical member below the shutter body and a second upper portion. The first vertical member is a slip pressing portion that is inserted into the slit and reaches the vicinity of the lower surface portion, and the second vertical member is disposed at both ends thereof and both ends of the slip insertion port portion. It is formed It is characterized by being connected through a pair of protrusions and a pair of elastic material.

  Invention of Claim 2 is the delivery box of Claim 1, Comprising: The upper surface part and lower surface part of the said slip | receiving part span from each said other end part of the said upper surface part and lower surface part from the said slip insertion port part. Thus, the cross-sectional shape of the slip receiving portion is formed continuously from a rectangle to an arc.

  A third aspect of the present invention is the delivery box according to the first or second aspect, wherein the slip pressing portion is provided at a position of the slip insertion opening portion.

  A fourth aspect of the present invention is the stamp device according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the elastic member is a spring.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the upper surface portion of the slip receiving portion is provided with a slit for inserting a stamp, and the shutter portion is parallel to the slip insertion opening portion in the shutter main body that covers the slit in an openable and closable manner. A first vertical member is provided below the shutter body and a second vertical member is provided above. The first vertical member is a slip pressing portion that is inserted into the slit and reaches the vicinity of the lower surface portion. Are connected via a pair of elastic members and a pair of protrusions formed at both ends thereof and both ends of the slip insertion slot.

  Therefore, when the slip is inserted into the slip receiving portion in a state where the stamp cannot be lowered because the shutter portion covers the slit, the force with which the tip of the slip pushes the slip pressing portion overcomes the elastic force of the elastic body. Department moves. The stamp can be stamped only when the tip of the slip overcomes the elastic force of the elastic body and the slip pressing portion is pushed beyond a predetermined length to open the shutter portion.

  Thus, even if the insertion amount (insertion length) of the slip inserted into the slip receiving portion cannot be viewed from the outside, it can be surely and easily stamped based on the movement of the shutter portion.

  According to invention of Claim 2, the cross-sectional shape of the said slip receiving part has the upper surface part and the lower surface part of the said slip receiving part ranging from the said slip insertion opening part to each other end part of the said upper surface part and a lower surface part. Since it is continuously formed from a rectangle to an arc, a slip to be inserted continuously changes from a flat shape to an arc from the slip insertion slot. For this reason, since the bending rigidity of the slip increases, the slip becomes difficult to bend up and down with respect to the intrusion direction, so that the slip pressing portion can be surely pushed in, and the effect similar to the effect of the invention of claim 1 is further achieved. It is definitely obtained.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, since the slip pressing portion is provided at the position of the slip insertion slot, rainwater can be prevented from entering the slip receiving portion, and the effect of the invention according to claim 1 can be achieved. The same effect can be obtained.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, since the elastic material is a spring which is a general-purpose product, the manufacturing cost is reduced and the same effect as the effect of the invention described in claim 1 can be obtained.

  The stamp device 14 includes a stamp 17 for pressing the slip Q for confirmation of receipt of goods, a slip receiving portion 18 into which the slip Q is inserted, and a shutter portion 19 that opens in a stampable manner in conjunction with the pressing force of the slip when the slip is inserted. Formed with.

  The slip receiving portion 18 has a rectangular upper surface portion 18 a and a lower surface portion 18 b which are closed on both side surfaces 18 c and a rear surface 18 d, thereby forming a slip receiving portion interior K in which the slip Q is inserted inside the slip receiving portion 18. The slip receiving portion 18 is in a horizontal state, and a slip insertion port portion 20 as a front surface communicates with the slip insertion hole 13a by a method (not shown) and is fixed to the back surface of the door 13.

  A slit 21 for inserting a stamp is provided with a width T in an approximately 3/4 region extending from the rear surface 18d of the upper surface portion 18a to the slip insertion port portion 20, and the slit 21 is formed in an elongated rectangular shape with a front end formed in an arc shape 21a. The As the stamp 17 descends in the vicinity of the arc 21a of the slit 21, the stamp can be applied to the slip Q inserted along the lower surface portion 18b. It should be noted that the rear surface 18d is not formed in the central region that contacts the slit 21 of the rear surface 18d.

  A pair of protrusions 22 are formed at a height H1 at both ends of the slip insertion opening 20 in the upper surface 18a.

  The shutter unit 19 includes a rectangular shutter main body 19a that covers the slit 21 with a width T1 wider than the width T of the slit 21, a first vertical member 23 that is parallel to the slip insertion port unit 20 and perpendicular to the shutter main body 19a, and a second vertical member. It is formed with a material 24.

The second vertical member 24 is a rectangular shape having a length L and a height H1, and is fixed so that the center 24a in the length direction is aligned with the center line P of the shutter body 19a.

  The locking portions 24b in the vicinity of both ends of the second vertical member 24 and the pair of protrusions 22 are connected in a state parallel to the center line P by fixing a spring 25 as an elastic material by a method not shown.

  The stamp 17 is securely held by a holder (not shown) so as not to wobble at the time of stamping and can be raised and lowered. The stamp 17 can maintain the stamp effect for a certain number of times of use without refilling the stamp solution.

<Action of delivery box>
FIG. 4A shows a state in which a delivery box (not shown) is in a state where the door is closed upon completion of receipt of goods, and immediately before inserting a slip Q for confirming receipt of goods from the slip insertion slot 20 into the inside K of the slip receiver. . In this state, the shutter body 19a covers the slit portion 21b immediately below the stamp 17, and the stamp 17 cannot be lowered.

  As illustrated in FIG. 4B, when the slip Q is inserted into the slip receiving portion inside K from the slip insertion opening 20, the force with which the tip of the slip Q pushes the slip pressing portion 23 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 25. As a result, the shutter body 19a gradually opens.

  As shown in FIG. 4C, when the slip Q is further inserted, the slit portion 21b immediately below the stamp is sufficiently opened with the second vertical member 24 reaching the rear surface 18d. In this state, the stamp 17 is lowered and the stamp on the slip Q is completed. Thereafter, the stamp 17 rises, so that the shutter body 19a returns to the state shown in FIG.

  In this way, the tip of the slip Q overcomes the elastic force of the spring and pushes the slip pressing portion 23 to slide the shutter main body 19a to open the slit portion 21b immediately below the stamp, so that the stamp 17 is within the slit 21. You can stamp down. If the tip of the slip Q is bent and inserted, no force to push the slip pressing portion 23 is generated, so that the slit portion 21b immediately below the stamp cannot be opened and the stamp cannot be made. Thus, even if the insertion state of the slip Q is not visible from the outside, the stamp can be surely and easily implemented by the normal insertion state.

<Second embodiment of the present invention>

The upper surface portion 28a and the lower surface portion 28b have a cross-sectional shape parallel to the slip insertion port portion 20 extending continuously from the slip insertion port portion 20 to the rear surface 28d. ). Preferably, the region corresponding to the stamp 17 in the lower surface portion 28b is formed in a horizontal state in order to improve the stamp performance.

  For this reason, the inserted slip Q is continuously formed from a planar shape to an arc shape from the insertion vicinity portion Q1 in the vicinity of the slip insertion port portion 20 to the tip portion Q2 (radius R2> radius R1 in the slip pressing portion 23 after movement). Since the bending rigidity of the slip increases, the slip hardly bends up and down with respect to the insertion direction, and the slip pressing portion can be pushed in reliably. Then, when the slip Q is inserted into the slip receiver, even if the insertion state of the slip Q is not visible from the outside, the stamp can be more easily and reliably stamped.
