Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Use The present invention relates to a mailbox, in particular, allows parcels to be inserted into the box, reducing the labor of mail delivery, and completely preventing theft.

Prior Art In general, postal parcels are different from letter mail;
If the delivery address is not available, either the delivery address is taken back to the post office and the recipient goes to the post office to receive it, or the delivery is redelivered at the specified date and time, or the delivery address is temporarily deposited in the neighborhood next to the delivery address. accompanied by the inconvenience of In other words, the biggest problem with the delivery of postal parcels was that they could not be placed in mailboxes like letters.

Problems that the invention aims to solve Despite the above circumstances, it is no exaggeration to say that there are currently no suitable mailboxes in which mail parcels can be posted. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a mail box that can be used to insert not only postal parcels, but also sealed letters, postcards, newspapers, etc., and which is fully resistant to theft.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention consists of a box having a drawer body in the upper part, a storage chamber in the lower part, and a lockable removal lid for opening and closing the storage chamber, and the drawer body has a bottom plate thereof. This is a mail box in which a portion of the drawer is rotatably supported in the vertical direction, and a guide plate is suspended in the storage chamber to guide the rotation of the bottom plate when the drawer moves horizontally.

Function According to the above structure of the present invention, when the drawer is pulled out and the mail is put into it, and then the drawer is pushed in and closed, the bottom plate of the drawer is guided by the guide plate and rotates downward. This causes the mail to fall into the lower storage compartment. The storage compartment is closed with a locked opening/closing lid, and the drawer body can be pulled out or pushed in freely, but even if you were able to insert your arm, the guide plate would be an obstacle and the mail inside the storage compartment would be blocked. Prevent theft by keeping your hands on things.

Embodiments The present invention will be explained below based on a first embodiment and a second embodiment shown in the drawings.

1 to 6 show the first embodiment. In the figure, 1 is the entire mailbox, 2 is the main body of the box, 3 is the drawer, 4 is the bottom plate of the drawer, 5 is the guide plate, 6 is the opening/closing lid, and 7 is the storage chamber for the parcel 8. be.

The box 2 is made of a metal box such as a steel plate, and a drawer 3 is disposed in the upper part of the box so that guide rails 9 are fixed to both side walls so that the drawer 3 can be slid in the horizontal direction. A guide plate 5 is provided to incline inward, and a storage chamber 7 is defined.A lockable opening/closing lid 6 is provided at the front of the storage chamber 7. A sliding plate 10 is provided diagonally at the corner portion of.

The drawer body 3 is made of a metal frame box similar to the case 2, and has a handle 3c on the front, a rail receiver 9a on the side plate 3b that engages with the guide rail 9, and the bottom plate 4 has a drop of about two-thirds. A plate 11 is rotatably supported downward via a hinge 12, and the drop plate 11
A roller 13 is attached to the lower surface of the roller. Koro 1
3 rolls on the guide plate 5 to open and close the drop plate 11 and drop the parcel 8 into the storage chamber 7. For this reason, the guide plate 5 includes a horizontal portion 5a for keeping the drop plate 11 in a horizontal position, a slope portion 5b having an inclination angle to ensure a sufficient opening for the drop plate 11 to drop the parcel 8, and a rounded end. It has a portion 5c. Therefore, when the drawer body 3 is pushed into the box body 2, the hinge 12 is located on the boundary between the horizontal part 5a and the slope part 5c of the guide plate 5, and the length of the drop plate 11 and the slope part 5b is approximately The distance _H2 between the end of the drop plate 11 and the tail end of the drawer body 3 may be configured to be approximately equal to the height _H2 of the side wall 3a of the drawer body 3. Note that the length A of the slope portion 5b of the guide plate 5
is larger than the length of a typical adult's upper arm, the drawer body 3 is pulled out a little, and the drop plate 1 is
It is completely possible to prevent the parcel 8 from being stolen by inserting a hand into the storage chamber 7 through the gap where the parcel 1 is opened.

In addition, the dimensions L ₂ , H ₂ , shown in FIGS. 2 and 3
D ₂ and W ₂ must satisfy the following conditions.

L ₂ > L ₁ (Length of parcel 8) H ₂ > H ₁ (Height of parcel 8) D ₂ > D ₁ (Diagonal length of long side of parcel 8) W ₂ > W ₁ (Length of long side of parcel 8) Short side length) Regarding the use of the first embodiment above, the first
As shown in the figure, the drawer body 3 is pushed into the box body 2 so that it can be pulled out, and the opening/closing lid 6 is locked. Therefore, when inserting mail, the drawer body 3 is pulled out as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and a parcel 8, for example, is placed on the bottom plate 4. Light mail items such as sealed letters are placed on the drop plate 11. Next, as shown in FIG.
When pushed in, the drop plate 11 opens downward about the hinge 12 as the rollers 13 descend along the guide plate 5. When the roller 13 reaches the end 5c of the guide plate 5, the parcel 8 slides down the drop plate 11 and falls into the storage chamber 7 as if hitting the slide plate 11 (FIG. 6).
After the parcel 8 falls into the storage chamber 7 in this way,
Even if you pull out the drawer body 3 as shown in FIG. 5 and try to insert your hand into the storage chamber 7, your hand will not be able to enter the storage chamber 7 because the drop plate 11 does not open sufficiently downward. Even if your hand gets in there, the length of the sloped part 5b of the guide plate 5 is longer than the general length of a person's upper arm, so your hand will not bend over the parcel 8 that has fallen onto the inner bottom of the storage chamber 7. . In this way, theft of the parcel 8 is prevented. Therefore, it is safe because only the person who has the key to unlock the cover 6 can open the cover 6 and take out the parcel 8.

Next, FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention. This example is different from the first example in that the dimension of the drop plate 11 of the drawer body 3 is shortened, an opening 14 is formed at the rear of the drop plate 11, and the inclination angle of the guide plate 5 is The structure is made small so that human hands cannot reach inside the storage chamber 7, and other parts are the same as the first embodiment. Therefore, the first
The same reference numerals are used for the same components as in the embodiment.

Effects of the invention According to the invention described above, the drawer body is arranged in the upper part of the case, the storage chamber is arranged in the lower part of the case, and a part of the bottom plate of the drawer body is configured to be freely rotatable downward. Since a part of the bottom plate is provided in the storage chamber with a guide plate that rotates downward when the drawer is pushed into the case, mail parcels can be put into the drawer and pushed into the case. This is a mail box that can prevent theft by falling into the storage compartment when it is inserted, and can be mailed in the same way as letter mail even if the recipient of the parcel is not available, and the problems caused by the absence of the recipient during mail delivery. can be easily solved.
