  1 Each home delivery company 17 gives a discount to the recipient who uses the transfer set 27 at the time of next home delivery.

  2. Each delivery company 17 pays the management company 10 a membership fee, an annual usage fee, and a usage fee for the number of units using the transfer set 27.

  Next, the transfer set 27 installed in the contractor's house 25 in FIG. 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the transfer set includes a net-shaped bottom plate 30 and a bottom connection on the tip side of the bottom plate 30. The plates 31 are connected by hinges 35. A back plate 32 is connected to the bottom plate 30 at right angles by a hinge 35, and a back connection plate 33 is connected above the back plate 32. Side plates 34 are connected to both sides of the bottom plate 30 by hinges 35. Short legs 36 are attached to the bottoms of the bottom plate 30 and the bottom connecting plate 31.

  Next, the net 40 that engages with the frame portion of the transfer set 27 is a substantially bag-shaped net, and its upper opening is open. As shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. 4, the opening portion is sandwiched and closed by a pair of front and rear band-shaped clamps 41 constituting a sealing device. An insertion portion 42 is formed at an end of the clamp 41, and a hook of a padlock 45 is inserted through the insertion portion 42, and a wire 43 is further inserted into the hook of the padlock 45. The other end of the wire 43 is hooked on a fixed object such as a gate post or a vertical bar of a door. The padlock 44 is unlocked with a key 46. The frame is fixed to the ground with another rope 47 (see FIG. 3).

  In this set, a bag 48 of a polymer film such as polyethylene is used (see FIG. 5). Here, several types of bags 48 having different sizes are prepared, and are selected according to the size of the home delivery service. The bag 48 is placed over the home delivery using the lower opening 49 to prevent the home delivery from getting wet with rain.

  As described above, the transfer set 27 includes the frame portion including the bottom plate 30 and the back plate 32, the net 40, the wire 43, the padlock 45, and the rope 47. The wire 43 for retaining the net 40 may be a flexible string when it is difficult to handle the wire 43 with metal. The lock is preferably a padlock 45 which cannot be unlocked except for the key held by the recipient.

  The size of the general exchange set 27 is 45 cm long, 20 cm wide and 20 cm high when folded, and 90 cm long and 40 cm wide when unfolded. It is preferable to have no structure. If it is a cardboard box, it is possible to put something larger than this length and width, and stackable things are stored in a stack. In the case of a fixed home delivery box, if one box is stored and locked, it is difficult to further store it, and it is difficult to store a large object and a deformed object exceeding the box, which is inconvenient.

  The place where the transfer set 27 is placed is desirably a space of the size when the transfer set is developed. However, when the transfer set 27 is not developed in the horizontal direction, it can be installed if there is a space having a length of 45 cm and a width of 40 cm. . If no more space is available, the contract for using the transfer set will not be made. The structure is foldable and can be placed compactly when not in use.

  The courier box to be left behind by this set is 53 cm long, 38 cm long and 33 cm high, which is the largest among common courier companies. . Delivery items can be stored regardless of size or shape by using net-like bags. It is also possible to stack them. When a rope is used in place of the wire 43 as the mooring means, a large deformed object can be placed on the pedestal as long as there is a place through which the rope passes like a handle of a golf bag. To prevent theft, if there is a fixed object through which the rope such as the iron bar of the building passes, the ropes 43 and 47 protruding from the frame are passed through the iron grill or the like, connected to the net bag and locked. . The pedestal and the fixed object may be directly connected with another rope. If there is no fixed object through which the rope passes, installation of the fixed object is required.

  A key such as a number key is a lock that cannot be unlocked with a key other than the key held by the recipient because the password is known to anyone other than the recipient and theft occurs. For locking, a connection point between the tip of the rope and the clamp 41 attached to the opening of the net bag is locked by a padlock which is unlocked by a home delivery company.

  FIG. 6 shows a flow of a general home delivery service. When a home delivery company accepts the product, it is determined whether or not the recipient of the product is a contractor. This determination is made by accessing the management computer 11 by the personal computer 18 of the home delivery company. If not, general delivery is performed. On the other hand, when the recipient of the courier service is a contractor, delivery to the contractor is performed. When the delivery destination is at home, the delivery is made to the delivery destination. If there is a payee at the contractor's house, it is handed over and delivered, but this is not necessary if the payee wants to use the transfer set. On the other hand, if there is no recipient, home delivery by the transfer set 27 is performed. At this time, locking is performed by a locking device. In addition, a mailing list showing the usage fee discount should be posted to the post at the time of home delivery.

  According to such a home delivery system, even if there is no recipient, home delivery products can be placed using the transfer set 27, and redelivery is not required. Therefore, there is no need to go to the receiver's home again, which reduces the distribution cost and helps to solve the labor shortage in the home delivery industry.

  Although the present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the technical idea of the present invention. For example, with respect to items to be written to the management computer 11 in the above embodiment, various data can be input as needed. Various changes can also be made to the specific form and size of the transfer set.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION This invention is applicable to the system which delivers various goods etc. accommodated in the cardboard box by home delivery.
