Description

  The present invention belongs to the technical field of a mailbox provided with a mechanism for preventing a delivered mail or mail service from being extracted.

Today, large and expensive deliveries such as brochures, catalogs, and DVDs are often sent by mail or mail, where it is easier to place deliveries in the mailbox by increasing the depth of the mailbox and increasing the entrance. And what is considered to be completely in place is provided.
However, deep mailboxes have the problem that when they are attached to the wall, they will protrude greatly to the front, and when they are embedded in the wall, a large embedded space is required inside the wall, especially for buildings, condominiums, etc. In houses, there are many cases where multiple mailboxes are installed on the walls of elevator halls and corridors, and there is a problem in securing depth.
Furthermore, a mailbox with a large entrance has a problem that it is easy to put a hand into the entrance, and a delivery item inside the entrance can be stolen from the entrance.

Therefore, the post box itself has a vertically long shape to reduce the depth, and in order to prevent theft, the post cover top plate is provided with a security plate that is slanted in front and back and height, and the upper end of the front plate. There is known a postbox having an inclined surface in which the height is inclined in a front-rear and a rear-high state (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In addition, the security plate and the inclined surface are provided so that it is difficult to put a hand in the mailbox and take out the delivery item. When trying to put a hard delivery item with low flexibility into the mailbox, the delivery item is put into the mailbox through the security plate and the inclined surface. There is a problem that it is difficult to put in the door, and in some cases, it does not completely enter the mailbox.
On the other hand, the input port that swings backward and opens against the bullet box is projected to the front of the mailbox, while it is inclined at the bottom of the base end of the input port. An anti-theft blocking plate is provided, and the blocking plate is swung downward against the ammunition when the delivery item is inserted. After the delivery item is inserted, the closing plate returns to the front, low, and high state. There is known a technique for preventing theft by concealing a delivery in an overhang shape (see Patent Document 2).

Utility Model Registration No. 3134023 Utility Model Registration No. 3000978

By the way, the one that is intended to prevent theft by concealing this delivery in an overhang shape, receives the urging force directed downward by the insertion port protruding forward, and the blocking plate urged upward. Since the delivery items are put in a state where they are in contact with the rotating shaft portion, the delivery items are put in a laid state. There is a problem that it becomes inferior in the anti-theft because it becomes easy to become a halfway throwing posture that hits the rear plate.
In view of this, it is proposed that the slot provided with the closing plate has a structure with no overhang. However, in this case, the deliverable is not only difficult to insert because it is urged upward by the closing plate from the stage immediately after it is inserted from the inlet, but it is also likely to be halfway inserted, still preventing theft. There is a problem that it is inferior in that aspect, and there are problems to be solved by the present invention.

  The present invention was created in order to solve these problems in view of the above circumstances, and the invention of claim 1 includes a front plate, a rear plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, a top plate, A box-like shape having a bottom plate, and an upper end portion is pivotally supported in an opening formed at the upper end portion of the front plate so that the upper end portion can be opened and closed swinging rearwardly and upwardly through a support shaft. In the postbox configured to include a lid that is held in a closed position via a first inclined plate that is inclined in a front-rear and rear-lower state on the lower edge of the opening portion toward the rear plate, The rear surface side of the face plate is located below the first inclined plate and is inclined to the front, rear, and rear height, and the tip is located at a position that does not exceed the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate. A second inclined plate provided at a lower position than the second inclined plate and closer to the front plate than the tip of the second inclined plate. Shielding posture that shields visual recognition from the opening of a delivery object that is pivotally supported through the support shaft and tilted in the front-rear, rear-and-height state with the front half covered by the second inclined plate. And a security plate that swings and swings from the shielding posture to the rear and downward to allow insertion of a delivery product, and the security plate is directed to the shielding posture side. The mailbox is characterized in that a second energizing ammunition for energizing is provided.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the delivery product inserted into the opening H is guided by the first inclined plate, while the tip of the crime prevention plate located on the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate is lowered from the shielding posture. Since the product is inserted while being swung to the swinging posture, the delivery item can be inserted into the mailbox while maintaining the tilted posture, so that poor insertion can be avoided and theft can be prevented.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a mailbox, and the mailbox 1 is a box having a front plate 2, a rear plate 3a, a left side plate 3b, a right side plate 3c, a top plate 3d, and a box portion 3 comprising a bottom plate 3e. is there. The front plate 2 as a whole is a door for picking up deliverables, and the door (front plate) 2 is connected to the left and right side opening end of the box portion 3 of the mailbox 1 through a hinge 4. It is a hinged door that can be freely opened and closed. And the opening part H is notched and formed in the upper end part of this door 2 leaving the right-and-left both-sides part 2a, and the cover body 5 is provided so that this opening part H may be covered. At the left and right ends of the upper end of the lid 5, a pair of ear pieces 5 b each having a shaft hole 5 a are provided projecting inward (rearward) of the box 3.
On the other hand, a pair of bearing pieces 6 are provided at the left and right ends of the opening H on the back surface of the door 2. The bearing piece 6 includes a support piece 6b having a shaft hole 6a formed at the upper end, a connection piece 6c formed by bending from the support piece 6b along the inward surface of the upper end of the door 2, and the connection piece. 6c is configured to be provided with a protruding piece 6d that protrudes horizontally from the tip of 6c.
The lid body 5 is pivotally supported by a support shaft 7 that is penetrated and supported by the shaft holes 5a and 6a. A pair of first urging ammunition 7a is fitted on the support shaft 7. One end of the first urging ammunition 7a is on the projecting piece 6d of the bearing piece 6 and the other end is a lid. 5 is pressed against the back surface. As a result, the lid 5 is pressed against the door 2 and biased to a closed posture in which the opening H is closed, and is configured to hold this closed posture. The lid 5 is applied with a force that pushes the lid 5 when the delivery is put into the mailbox 1, that is, a load that is pressed from the outside. It is configured to be in an open posture against this.
In the closed posture of the lid 5, the surface 2d of the door 2 and the surface 5f of the lid 5 are provided so as to be substantially flush with each other.

  Furthermore, a substantially L-shaped step surface portion 5c is formed at the lower end of the lid 5 so as to extend inward of the box portion 3, and from the step surface portion 5c, an inclined surface portion 5d having a front height and a rear shape is further provided. The cushioning material 5e is stuck on one surface of the inclined lower surface of the inclined surface portion 5d. On the other hand, on the lower edge portion of the opening H of the door 2, a flat surface portion 2b formed to extend rearward in a substantially L shape, and a front height, a rear height, and a low height extending from the flat surface portion 2b toward the rear plate 3a. In the closed posture of the lid body 5, the stepped surface portion 5 c and the flat surface portion 2 b face each other with a gap in the vertical direction, and the inclined surface portion 5 d (buffer material 5 e). The opening H is closed in a state where the first inclined plates 2c are in contact with each other.

  On the other hand, on the inner surface (rear surface) of the door 2, a second inclined plate 9 having a front and rear high contact plate 9 a that is positioned below the first inclined plate 2 c and comes into contact with a security plate 8 described later. However, at both left and right ends of the second inclined plate 9, a pair of bearing pieces 9c having shaft holes 9b are formed extending rearward (toward the rear plate 3a). The second inclined plate 9 is formed to be slightly larger than the left and right width of the security plate 8, and the contact plate 9a covers the front half (door 2 side) half of the security plate 8 and the tip 9d. Is positioned so as not to exceed the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate 2c.

Furthermore, the crime prevention plate 8 pivotally supported via a support shaft 10 which is located below the second inclined plate 9 and is biased to the door 2 side relative to the position of the tip 9d of the second inclined plate 9 is provided in the first half portion. Is inclined in the front-rear and rear-high state in a state where the cover is covered by the second inclined plate 9. The security plate 8 has a left-right width that is substantially the same as the left-right width of the lid 5, and the front-rear width is long enough not to reach the delivery item even if a hand is inserted through the opening H. It is set to have a longitudinal length (front-back width) that does not hit the lock 11 even if the plate 8 swings downward. Further, the security plate 8 is provided with a substantially L-shaped step surface 8a extending downward from the front end, and a pair of bearing pieces 8c having shaft holes 8b drilled downward from both left and right ends. Are formed.
The crime prevention plate 8 is pivotally supported by a pivot shaft 10 penetrating through the shaft holes 8b and 9b so as to be swingable in the vertical direction. One end portion of a second biasing ammunition 10a externally fitted to the pivot shaft 10 is provided. Is pressed against the back surface (back bottom surface) of the security plate 8 and the other end is pressed against the back surface of the second inclined plate 9. As a result, the security plate 8 is urged toward the shielding posture pressed against the contact plate 9 a of the second inclined plate 9 and shields the visual recognition from the opening of the delivery item M put into the mailbox 1. Is configured to hold. And the security plate 8 puts a delivery thing in the box part 3, ie, resists the urging | biasing force of the 2nd urging | biasing ammunition 10a by the load pressed toward inner direction from an upper outer side acting. Then, it is configured to swing downward so that the delivery item M can be inserted.

A lock (locking device) 11 is provided on the other end side of the door 2 with respect to the hinge 4 to prevent other people from opening the door 2 and stealing the delivery. Yes. Further, in the present embodiment, the lock 11 is used as a grip when the door 2 is opened and closed. However, since the lock 11 can be a known one, the description thereof is omitted here.
Further, a slat 12 is laid on the bottom surface of the box portion 3 so that even if rain enters from the opening H, it is configured so that the delivered item is difficult to get wet. In the lower half of the opening, there is provided a support frame 13 that supports the delivered items inserted into the box 3 when the door 2 is opened, so that the saw 12 and the support frame 13 are known. The detailed description will be omitted here.

Next, the movement of the lid 5 and the security plate 8 and the method of entering the delivery when the delivery is inserted into the mailbox 1 will be described.
In order to insert the delivery item M into the mailbox 1, first, a load that is pressed by abutting the front end (lower part) of the delivery item M against the lid 5 acts on the lid 5, and thereby the lid 5 Swings upward and rearward with the support shaft 7 as a fulcrum, and the opening H is opened. The delivery M receives the urging force of the first urging ammunition 7a that urges the lid 5 toward the closed posture from the opening H from the upper back side, and the lower inclined side by the first inclined plate 2c. Is inserted into the mailbox 1 in a state of being guided to be inclined toward the, but the tip of the inserted delivery M is located on the contact plate 9a on the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate 2c. The tilted state guided by the tip 9d is brought into contact with the crime prevention plate 8. The crime prevention plate 8 has the swing support shaft 10 located below the contact plate 9a and in front of the tip 9d. Since the front half is covered with the abutment plate 9a, the inserted delivery product M comes into contact with the rear side of the tip 9d of the security plate 8, so that the security plate 8 is inserted lightly. It will swing downward against the second urging ammunition 10a by force, thereby delivering M is inserted in a state in which the posture inclined to the lower back is almost maintained. When the hand is released from the delivery M, the delivery M is guided by the first inclined plate 2c, the tip 9d, and the security plate 8. It will be inserted into the box 3 in a state of low front and high by its own weight.

  When the delivery M is inserted into the box portion 3 and does not come into contact with the lid 5, there is no drag to transform the lid 5 into the open posture, and the lid 5 is moved by the biasing force of the first biasing machine 7 a. While returning to the closed posture, the opening H is closed, and the security plate 8 is also returned to the original shielding posture from the downward swinging posture by the urging force of the second urging bullet 10a.

  In this insertion state, even if the lid 5 is swung rearward and the opening H is opened, the security plate 8 in the shielding posture is blindfolded and whether there is a delivery M in the box 3 or not. It is difficult to confirm from the portion H, and even if the security plate 8 is swung downward by hand and takes an open posture, the upper part (rear end portion) of the delivery item M is located between the security plate 8 and the door 2. As a result of entering, it is in a state where the upper part (rear end) of the delivery item M is hidden by the security plate 8 even if the hand is inserted through the opening H and the delivery item M is forcibly exchanged. It is difficult to take out.

In the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, when the delivery M is inserted into the mailbox 1, the delivery M is pushed into the opening H and the lid 5 is swung back and upward. The delivery M pushed into the opening H is applied to the first inclined plate 2c inclined from the lower end edge of the opening H to the front height and the rear while receiving the biasing force in the closing posture direction of the lid 5 from the upper side surface. The security plate 8 is inserted in a guided inclined state, and abuts against the crime prevention plate 8 that is inclined in a front-rear and rear-high state. The crime prevention plate 8 is located below the first inclination plate 2c and has a tip (rear) The end) 9d is covered with the second inclined plate 9 positioned on the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate 2c, the front half is covered with the second inclined plate 9, and the second inclined plate 9 The support shaft 10 that is offset to the front side of the front end 9d is inclined to the front and rear and the height, and is inserted into the mailbox. Oscillation transformation between a shielding posture that shields the visual recognition of the delivery M from the opening H and a downward swinging posture that swings backward from the shielding posture to enable delivery of the delivery item. Since the security plate 8 is biased toward the shielding posture side by the second biasing ammunition 10a, it is inserted into the opening H and guided to the first inclined plate 2c. The delivery item M put in an inclined state is inserted in a state of pushing the rear face plate portion protruding rearward from the second inclined plate 9 of the security plate 8, so that the inclined posture is maintained. It is possible to avoid the insertion tip from coming into contact with the rear plate 3a and causing poor insertion.
In addition, in this case, the tip 9d of the second inclined plate 9 is located on the inclined extension line of the first inclined plate 2c and does not cross the inclined extension line. Therefore, when the delivery item M is inserted, the delivery item M is inserted. It is also avoided that the front end of the second end is in contact with the second inclined plate 9 and is difficult to be inserted.

  The present invention can be used in the technical field of collective mailboxes provided in buildings such as buildings and apartment houses.
