  In a state where the mouth frame 2 is fixed to the main body 1, the upper surface of the upper frame 23 of the mouth frame 2 is flush with the upper surface of the top plate 13 of the main body 1. The outer surface of each side frame 24 of the mouth frame 2 is flush with the outer surface of the side plate 14 of the main body 1, and the lower surface of the lower frame 25 of the mouth frame 2 is the bottom plate 15 of the main body 1. It is flush with the bottom surface.

  In addition, the terminology used in the present specification and the like is not limited to a strictly flat meaning, but includes a case where there is a slight step (a case where it is substantially flush).

  The mouth frame part 2 fixed to the main body part 1 has an opening 21 positioned so as to surround the entire boxing opening 11 in a front view (see FIG. 5). The opening 21 communicates with the posting port 11 in the front-rear direction.

  In the mailbox according to the present embodiment, the mouth frame part 2 is different from the opening 21 in an installation space S1 that can accommodate a base 22 for installing an interphone and a nameplate 26 that can display a name and the like. Provided at a location (location below the opening 21).

  The installation space S1 and the nameplate 26 are located adjacent to each other in the left-right direction. A name or the like may be directly displayed on the front face of the nameplate 26, or a plate on which the name or the like is written can be fixed to the front face of the nameplate 26.

  The installation space S <b> 1 is a space partitioned by a pair of side walls 27, 27 positioned at a distance in the left-right direction and a lower wall 28 connecting the lower ends of the side walls 27, 27.

  Of the pair of side walls 27, 27, the side wall 27 located on the inner side in the left-right direction protrudes forward from one end of the nameplate plate 26 in the left-right direction. Through this side wall 27, the space where the nameplate 26 is located and the installation space S1 are divided into left and right.

  Of the pair of side walls 27, 27, the side wall 27 located on the outer side in the left-right direction is configured by a partial region on the lower side of the side frame 24 provided in the mouth frame portion 2. Similarly, the lower wall 28 is configured by a partial region in the left-right direction of the lower frame 25 provided in the mouth frame portion 2.

  The installation space S1 is formed in the mouth frame portion 2 so as to open forward, rearward, and upward (see FIG. 2, FIG. 3, etc.). The pedestal 22 and the intercom handset 3 are attached and detached through the opening in the front of the installation space S1, and a part of the front surface of the main body 1 is exposed through the rear opening. The upper opening of the installation space S1 is closed by a later-described flange 225 when the base 22 is attached.

  The pedestal 22 has a mounting structure 221 on which the interphone handset 3 can be detachably mounted on the front surface (see FIGS. 3 to 6 and the like). As the mounting structure 221, an appropriate structure such as a structure in which the intercom slave device 3 is hooked on the pedestal 22 and the interphone slave device 3 is screwed to the pedestal 22 can be adopted.

  The pedestal 22 includes a flat plate-like flange 225 that protrudes forward above the mounting structure 221. In a state where the intercom handset 3 is mounted on the mounting structure 221, the flange portion 225 is positioned so as to cover the upper part of the intercom handset 3 as a whole.

  Furthermore, the base 22 has a fixing structure 222 that is detachably fixed to the front surface of the main body 1 on the rear surface. That is, the fixing structure 222 is provided on the surface of the base 22 opposite to the surface on which the mounting structure 221 is formed.

  As the fixing structure 222, an appropriate structure such as a structure in which the pedestal 22 is hooked on the front surface of the main body 1 and a structure in which the pedestal 22 is screwed to the front surface of the main body 1 can be adopted.

  In a state where the intercom handset 3 is fixed to the main body 1 via the pedestal 22, the front surface of the interphone handset 3 is the front end of the mouth frame 2 attached to the main body 1 (that is, each frame 23, 24, 24 and the front end portions of 25).

  Further, an illumination space S2 for installing the illumination unit 4 is formed in the mouth frame 2 above the opening 21 (see FIG. 6). In the vertical direction, the installation space S1 and the illumination space S2 are located on opposite sides of the opening 21.

  The illumination unit 4 is a step lamp that emits light downward, and includes a light-emitting diode that is a light source, and a rod-shaped light guide 41 that emits light emitted from the light-emitting diode and then emits the light outward. Prepare. The light guide 41 is a light-transmitting rod-like member that is long in the left-right direction, and a surface facing the lower side of the light guide 41 is an emission surface 411 that emits light downward.

  The intercom handset 3 of the present embodiment is equipped with a camera and has an imaging function for photographing the front with a wide-angle lens 31 provided on the front surface. Between the installation space S1 in which the intercom handset 3 is installed and the illumination space S2 in which the illumination unit 4 is installed, the collar unit 225 is located. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the light emitted downward from the illumination unit 4 from affecting the imaging function (the occurrence of whiteout or the like in the image).

  The mailbox according to the present embodiment has a structure in which the interphone slave unit 3 with camera and the lighting unit 4 are incorporated in the mouth frame portion 2 as described above, and thus has an interphone function, an imaging function, and a footlamp function in a compact manner. It is possible.

  When incorporating the intercom handset 3 into the mouth frame 2, the interphone handset 3 is first mounted on the pedestal 22, and the integrated base 22 and each block of the intercom handset 3 (see FIG. 2), the main body 1 What is necessary is just to fix to, and work is also easy. When fixing the pedestal 22 to the main body 1, the pedestal 22 is set in the installation space S <b> 1, the open / close door 161 is opened, a hand is placed in the main body 1, and the work from the inside of the main body 1 is performed. Is fixed to the main body 1 with screws.

  When removing the intercom handset 3 from the frame 2, the door 161 is opened and a hand is put into the main body 1, and the screwing between the base 22 and the main body 1 is carried out from the inside of the main body 1. To release. After removing the intercom handset 3 together with the base 22, the intercom handset 3 is removed from the base 22.

  Therefore, in the mailbox according to the present embodiment, in addition to the work of assembling the interphone handset 3 being easy, the work of removing and repairing the interphone handset 3 and the work of replacing the interphone handset 3 are easy. is there.

  Furthermore, by preparing a plurality of types of pedestals 22 having different mounting structures 221 and selecting the pedestal 22 having the mounting structure 221 suitable for the interphone slave device 3 to be attached, a plurality of types of interphone slave devices 3 can be connected to a common mouth. It can be incorporated in the frame part 2.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which the mailbox of this embodiment is embedded in the gate post 51. The gate pillar 51 constitutes the exterior 5 of the building. In this state, the mouth frame portion 2 is exposed on the front surface of the gate pillar 51, and the back plate portion 16 of the main body portion 1 is exposed on the rear surface of the gate pillar 51.

  FIG. 8 shows a state where the mailbox according to the present embodiment is installed on the pole 6. The main body 1 is supported on the upper end of the pole 6 that is long in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the pole 6 is embedded in the ground 7.
