FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an article delivery device 1 that delivers articles (not shown) such as newspapers and products. 2A is a side view of the article delivery device 1 shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from one side, and FIG. 2B is a plan view of the article delivery device 1 as viewed from above. FIG. These are the side views which looked at the article delivery device 1 from the other side.

  The article delivery device 1 is used by being fixed to a loading platform of a mobile vehicle (not shown) such as a motorcycle or a bicycle. In the present embodiment, the article delivery device 1 has one side surface shown in FIG. 2A arranged on the left side (the sidewalk side in Japan) in the traveling direction of the moving vehicle, and the other side surface shown in FIG. Is attached to the loading platform in a posture arranged behind the moving direction of the moving vehicle.

  The article delivery device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a substantially rectangular box-shaped casing 10 as illustrated. The housing 10 has a rectangular plate-shaped bottom wall 11, four rectangular plate-shaped side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 and a top wall 16. The four side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 are connected to the four sides of the bottom wall 11 and extend in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 11. The housing 10 is made of, for example, sheet metal or resin.

  The bottom wall 11 has a flat inner surface on which a plurality of newspapers (not shown) can be stacked and accumulated. The bottom wall 11 includes at least a first laminated body (not shown) in which a plurality of newspapers having a size folded in four are stacked, and a second laminated body (not shown) in which a plurality of newspapers folded in four are stacked. Have a size that can be placed side by side along the traveling direction of the moving vehicle.

  The left side wall 12 of the moving vehicle has a first opening 21 at a position where a newspaper can be taken out from the first laminate accommodated in the article delivery device 1. Moreover, the side wall 12 has the 2nd opening part 22 in the position which can take out a newspaper from the 2nd laminated body accommodated in the goods delivery apparatus 1. FIG. The first opening 21 is provided in front of the traveling direction of the moving vehicle, and the second opening 22 is provided side by side with the first opening 21 behind the traveling direction of the moving vehicle.

  The first and second openings 21 and 22 are each formed in a substantially rectangular shape with a width slightly narrower than the width of a newspaper folded in four. The upper edge of each opening 21, 22 is located at a position slightly below the side plate 18 (described later) of the top wall 16, and the lower edge of each opening 21, 22 is slightly above the bottom wall 11. In a spaced position. As a result, even when lids 31 and 32 (to be described later) are removed from the openings 21 and 22, the newspaper accommodated in the housing is caught by the edges of the openings 21 and 22 and dropped from the openings 21 and 22. It is supposed not to.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the two openings 21 and 22 (side openings) are provided only on the left side wall 12. That is, no opening is provided in the other three side walls 13, 14, 15. However, the openings 21 and 22 may be provided on any of the four side walls 12, 13, 14, and 15, so that the newspaper can be taken out from the first laminated body or the second laminated body. It is sufficient to provide at least one by one. For example, the left side wall 12 may be provided with an opening 21 facing the first stacked body, and the right side wall 14 may be provided with an opening 22 facing the second stacked body. Alternatively, two openings 21 and 22 may be provided on the left side wall 12, and two openings 21 and 22 may be provided also on the right side wall 14.

The top wall 16 is provided so as to be able to open and close a rectangular opening 24 (upper opening) (FIG. 3) surrounded by the upper edges of the four side walls 12, 13, 14, 15. The top wall 16 includes a rectangular plate-like lid plate portion 17 that is slightly larger than the bottom wall 11 and the opening 24, and a frame-shaped side plate portion 18 that vertically hangs downward from the four end sides of the lid plate portion 17. Have.

  The lid plate portion 17 can be opposed to the opening 24 and has a size that covers the opening 24. The lid plate portion 17 is slightly inclined downward from the side wall 12 having the openings 21 and 22 toward the opposite side wall 14 in a state where the top wall 16 is disposed at the closed position shown in FIG. 2c). For this reason, the rain that has fallen on the top wall 16 flows down to the side wall 14 side (the right side of the moving vehicle) along the slope without accumulating on the top wall 16.

  The side plate portion 18 has a shape in which four plate bodies respectively extending along the outer surfaces on the upper ends of the four side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 are connected in a frame shape along the opening 24. Therefore, in a state where the top wall 16 is disposed at the closed position shown in FIG. 1, the side plate portion 18 partially covers a part of the outer surfaces of the four side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 from the outside.

  On the side wall 14 side of the top wall 16 (on the right side of the moving vehicle), there is provided a hinge portion 19 that rotatably connects the side plate portion 18 of the top wall 16 near the upper end of the side wall 14. The top wall 16 is rotatably attached to the side wall 14 via the hinge portion 19. For this reason, the top wall 16 is rotatable between a closed position shown in FIG. 1 and an open position (not shown) around the hinge portion 19. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, three hinge portions 19 that are separated from each other along the upper end side of the side wall 14 are provided.

The side wall 12 having the opening 22 has a double plate structure. That is, the side wall 12 has an outer plate 41 located on the outer surface side of the article delivery device 1 and an inner plate 42 located on the inner surface side of the article delivery device 1. On the further inner surface side of the inner plate 42, an inner adhesive member 44 having shock absorption for protecting the product is provided. The outer plate 41 and the inner plate 42 are partially connected, for example, via a frame 43 having a shape obtained by bending a plate body, and are arranged apart from each other in parallel. The opening 22 described above is formed at predetermined positions of the outer plate 41 and the inner plate 42.

  A sealing member 45 for waterproofing is provided at the edge of the opening 22. The seal member 45 is provided on the entire circumference of the opening 22. More specifically, the seal member 45 is provided on the entire periphery of the edge of the opening 22 of the outer plate 41 and is provided on the entire periphery of the edge of the opening 22 of the inner plate 42. In addition, two rails 46R and 46L that slidably receive two end sides of the lid 32 that extend in the vertical direction are provided at the edge of the opening 22 that extends in the vertical direction. The rails 46 </ b> R and 46 </ b> L are attached to the outer surface of the inner plate 42 adjacent to the edge of the opening 22.

  As described above, by providing the seal member 45 at the edge of the opening 22 of the outer plate 41, rainwater that enters between the outer plate 41 and the outer surface of the lid 32 through the opening 22 can be prevented. Even when a slight amount of rainwater enters between the outer plate 41 and the lid 32 through the opening 22, the inner surface of the lid 32 is sealed by the seal member 45 provided at the edge of the opening 22 of the inner plate 42. It is possible to prevent water from entering between the opening and the edge of the opening 22 of the inner plate 42.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a partition plate 50 is detachably attached in the housing 10 of the article delivery device 1. The partition plate 50 is detachably attached between a first laminated body (not shown) stacked on the bottom wall 11 and a second laminated body (not shown). The partition plate 50 is attached in a direction substantially parallel to the side walls 13 and 15. The partition plate 50 divides the internal space of the casing 10 of the article delivery device 1 into two in the front and rear directions in a state of being attached in the casing 10 of the article delivery apparatus 1.

  The partition plate 50 has a cutout portion 52 cut out from the upper end edge on the top wall 16 side toward the lower end edge on the bottom wall 11 side. This notch 52 opens the top wall 16 and puts a newspaper laminate (first laminate, second laminate) into the article delivery device 1 through the opening 24, and the side surface of the laminate. It is provided to make it easier to support by hand. Therefore, it is desirable that the notch 52 has a size at least about the palm of an operator.

  Further, the partition plate 50 is removed from the housing 10 when a product other than a newspaper is put into the article delivery device 1 through the opening 24. The removed partition plate 50 is fixed to the inner surfaces of the bottom wall 11 and the side walls 12, 13, 14, 15 of the housing 10 and can be accommodated in the housing 10 of the article delivery device 1. Similarly, the two lids 31 and 32 described above can be accommodated in the housing 10 of the article delivery device 1 after being removed from the openings 21 and 22.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the bottom wall 11 of the housing 10 of the article delivery device 1 is provided with a drain hole 60 penetrating the bottom wall 11. In the present embodiment, two drain holes 60 are provided on the diagonal of the bottom wall 11. Specifically, drain holes 60 were provided near the corner of the bottom wall 11 between the side wall 12 and the side wall 15 and near the corner of the bottom wall 11 between the side wall 13 and the side wall 14, respectively. A groove inclined downward toward the drain hole 60 may be provided on the inner surface of the bottom wall 11. Alternatively, the inner surface shape of the bottom wall 11 may be slightly inclined downward toward the drain hole 60.

  The drain hole 60 drains rainwater that has entered the housing 10. When delivering the newspaper, the article delivery device 1 removes the lids 31 and 32 provided on the openings 21 and 22 of the side wall 12 and keeps the openings 21 and 22 open. That is, when delivering a newspaper, the openings 21 and 22 are opened to improve workability. For this reason, when it is raining, rainwater enters the housing 10 through the openings 21 and 22. Since newspapers are individually packaged in plastic bags, there is no worry of getting wet in the rain. When goods other than newspapers are housed in the housing 10 and delivered to the home, the drain hole 60 is blocked by a plug (not shown). This plug is detachable from the inside of the housing 10 and cannot be detached from the outside of the housing 10.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, when delivering a newspaper, the openings 21 and 22 provided on the left side wall 12 of the housing 10 can be opened to improve workability. When the product or the like is accommodated in the housing 10 and delivered to the home, the openings 21 and 22 can be closed with the lids 31 and 32 to prevent the product from dropping off. For this reason, it is not necessary to prepare a device suitable for newspaper delivery and a device suitable for product delivery separately, and one device can be used for both newspapers and goods. Thereby, it is not necessary to replace an apparatus with respect to a moving vehicle according to the kind of article to deliver, and workability | operativity can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of devices, and it is not necessary to secure a place for storing devices that are not in use, thereby reducing the management cost of the devices.

  Further, as in the article delivery device 1 of the present embodiment, the lids 31 and 32 that block the openings 21 and 22 of the side wall 12 are made impossible to be removed in a state where the top wall 16 is locked, so that other than newspapers. When delivering a product or the like, it is possible to prevent the theft of the product stored in the product delivery device 1 and to secure security.

In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, It can change arbitrarily, without exceeding the range of invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the lids 31 and 32 that close the openings 21 and 22 of the side wall 12 are slidable up and down. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the cap body 70 as shown in FIG. 7 or FIG. 80 may be used to close the openings 21 and 22 of the side wall 12. In this case, the rectangular cap bodies 70 and 80 that are slightly larger than the openings 21 and 22 from the outside of the housing 10 can be attached to the openings 21 and 22, and the cap bodies 72 and 82 are used to cover the cap bodies from the inside of the housing 10. 70 and 80 may be locked.
