  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 6, the base 16 is formed in a rectangular frame shape by die casting of a metal material such as aluminum, for example, and includes an upper frame 16 a, a lower frame 16 b, and left and right vertical frames 16 c, 16c. The base 16 is attached so as to cover the four peripheral end surfaces of the front opening of the attachment portion 22 of the post body 14, and the opening surrounded by the frames 16 a to 16 c becomes the posting opening 26.

  The upper frame 16a is provided with a plurality of (three in the present embodiment) mounting screws 28 in the left-right direction with respect to the mounting piece 22a having an L-shaped cross section that is bent upward at the top end of the upper wall of the mounting portion 22. Use to fix. The lower frame 16 b is attached and fixed to the inner surface of the lower wall of the attachment portion 22 using a plurality of (three in this embodiment) attachment screws 29 in the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the edge of the upper surface 31 of the upper frame 16 a near the post body 14 protrudes forward from the vertical wall 30 that stands vertically upward and from the upper end of the vertical wall 30. A flange 32 is formed. On the upper surface of the flange portion 32, an inclined surface 32 a is formed which is inclined downward in the direction away from the post body 14, that is, toward the tip (front) of the flange portion 32. A concave groove 33 extending in the longitudinal direction of the upper frame 16a is formed between the front surface of the vertical wall 30 and the lower surface of the flange portion 32.

  As described above, the lower portion of the vertical wall 30 of the upper frame 16 a is attached and fixed to the attachment piece 22 a of the attachment portion 22 using the attachment screw 28, and the attachment piece 22 a is the wall portion 12 to which the post 10 is attached. It arrange | positions through a certain amount (for example, about 5 mm) clearance gap from the front surface 12b. For this reason, the vertical wall 30 is also arrange | positioned through the clearance gap between the front surfaces 12b of the wall part 12 (refer FIG. 5). Therefore, when the post 10 is attached to the wall portion 12, the gap between the vertical wall 30 of the upper frame 16a and the attachment piece 22a is a water stop formed of an amorphous wet sealing material such as silicone. A material 34 is disposed. The water blocking material 34 prevents rainwater or the like from entering between the metal contact surfaces between the upper frame 16a and the mounting piece 22a.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, rectangular block-shaped support plates 36 are respectively provided at corners between the upper frame 16a and the left and right vertical frames 16c and 16c. A stopper member 38 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is fixed to the support plate 36 with screws. The stopper member 38 regulates the opening limit of the posting door 18.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the left and right vertical frames 16 c are in contact with and supported by an attachment piece 22 b having an L-shaped cross section that is bent toward the left and right outwards at the end of the side wall of the attachment portion 22. At this time, the mounting piece 22b is also arranged with a certain gap from the front surface 12b of the wall portion 12 as in the case of the mounting piece 22a, so that each vertical frame 16c is also between the front surface 12b of the wall portion 12. It arrange | positions through a clearance gap. Therefore, when the post 10 is attached to the wall portion 12, a water-stop material 34 formed of an amorphous sealing material such as silicone is disposed in the gap between the vertical frame 16c and the attachment piece 22b. The In addition to the space between the upper frame 16a and the mounting piece 22a, the water blocking material 34 also prevents inundation such as rain water between the metal contact surfaces between the vertical frame 16c and the mounting piece 22b. The water stop material 34 between the upper frame 16a and the vertical frame 16c and the front surface 12b is integrally continuous, and the water stop material 34 may also be wound between the lower frame 16b and the front surface 12b.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 to 6, the loading door 18 includes a main body plate 40 that covers a loading opening 26 that is an inner opening of the base 16, and a side view that protrudes rearward from the back side of the main body plate 40. And a triangular shaft support plate 42.

  An upper plate 40a, a lower plate 40b, and left and right vertical plates 40c, 40c protruding toward the back side are provided at the four peripheral edges of the main body plate 40. As shown in FIG. 5, the upper plate 40 a is provided so as to cover the upper surface 31 of the upper frame 16 a of the base 16, and the tip of the upper plate 40 a is the lower side of the flange portion 32 of the upper frame 16 a in the closed state. It enters and is accommodated in the concave groove 33, and contacts the water stop material 44 disposed in the concave groove 33. The water stop material 44 is a fixed dry sealing material formed of rubber or resin, for example, and is provided over the longitudinal direction of the groove 33. On the upper surface of the upper plate 40a, an inclined surface 41 that is gradually inclined downward in the direction away from the post body 14 (forward) is formed. The lower plate 40b and each vertical plate 40c are disposed inside the lower frame 16b and each vertical frame 16c of the base 16 in a state where the posting door 18 is closed.

  A pair of shaft support plates 42 are provided at positions on the upper left and right sides of the back surface of the main body plate 40 and below the upper plate 40a. Each shaft support plate 42 is provided with a shaft pin 46 protruding in the left-right direction, and each shaft pin 46 is rotatably supported on the support plate 36 of the base 16 (see FIG. 5). Thereby, the throwing door 18 is supported in a state in which it can rotate with respect to the base 16 with the shaft pin 46 as a rotation axis.

  Therefore, when the door 18 is closed as shown by a solid line in FIG. 5, the upper plate 40 a covers the upper surface 31 of the upper frame 16 a of the base 16, and its tip is accommodated in the concave groove 33. A part is covered with the collar part 32, and the lower plate 40b and the vertical plate 40c are in a state of being inserted into the inner side of the base 16 (the insertion port 26). At this time, the loading door 18 is disposed so that the upper frame 16a of the base 16 is sandwiched between the shaft support plate 42 (the shaft pin 46) and the upper plate 40a. When the main body plate 40 below the shaft pin 46 is pushed backward from this state by an article to be thrown or manually, the throwing door 18 causes the shaft pin 46 to rotate the shaft as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The upper plate 40a rotates to the front of the upper frame 16a, and the lower plate 40b and each vertical plate 40c move while rotating into the loading port 26. As a result, articles can be thrown into the posting port 26 (the throwing space 14a).

  In this case, the post 10 according to the present embodiment includes a post main body 14 having an input space 14 a, a base 16 attached to the outer periphery of the front side of the opening that forms the input space 14 a of the post main body 14, and a front side of the post main body 14. And the opening door 18 is provided at a position where the upper portion covers the upper surface 31 of the base 16, and the base 16 exceeds the inclined surface 41 that is the upper surface of the posting door 18. And a flange 32 extending from the post position in a direction away from the post body 14.

  Therefore, in the post 10, the upper surface 31 of the base 16 can be covered with the upper surface (inclined surface 41) of the posting door 18, so that there are less restrictions on the external design, and the front shape of the base 16 and the posting door 18 is reduced. As shown in FIG. 2, it can be simply configured to improve the appearance quality. In addition, the upper surface 31 of the base 16 is covered with the upper surface of the posting door 18, and the collar portion 32 is disposed above the posting door 18. For this reason, it is possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the input space 14a from between the upper surfaces of the posting door 18 and the base 16 while having a structure in which the upper part of the posting door 18 is arranged on the upper part of the base 16 and high waterproof performance. Can be secured.

  In the post 10, the base 16 includes a vertical wall 30 having a height exceeding the inclined surface 41 that is the upper surface of the posting door 18. For this reason, the metal contact surface between the post main body 14 and the base 16 can be obtained simply by providing the water blocking material 34 in the gap between the vertical wall 30 and the front surface 12b of the wall portion 12 to which the post 10 is attached. It is possible to build a water-stop structure for the gap. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, since the portion where the water blocking material 34 is disposed is at a position unrelated to the opening / closing of the posting door 18, for example, the water blocking material 34 formed of an irregular sealing material is used. High accuracy is not required for construction, and construction work is facilitated. Moreover, it is easy to grasp the amount of construction because it is sufficient to construct the water stop material 34 up to the height position of the vertical wall 30 and the collar portion 32 at the upper end portion thereof, and variation due to the degree of skill of the installer such as insufficient filling. Can also be suppressed. Of course, the improvement of construction workability and construction quality of the water-stopping material 34 has the same effect on the vertical frame 16c side. And since it is easy to form the water stop material 34 to the collar part 32 on the same surface, external appearance quality improves further.

  In the post 10, the upper surface of the posting door 18 has an inclined surface 41 that is inclined downward toward the front surface thereof. Thereby, since rainwater etc. flow through the inclined surface 41 and are discharged forward, it is possible to more reliably prevent water from entering between the throwing door 18 and the base 16 into the charging space 14a. Moreover, in the post 10, the upper surface of the collar portion 32 has an inclined surface 32 a that is inclined downward toward the tip thereof, and rainwater or the like flows down the inclined surface 41 from the inclined surface 32 a, so that the water spraying performance is further improved. It is possible to more reliably prevent water from entering the charging space 14a.

  It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that the present invention can be freely changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
