Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a mailbox, and can prevent water such as rainwater or condensation water from accumulating in the mailbox by providing a drainage hole at the bottom of the mailbox. To provide a convenient item in which the mailbox can be easily attached to and detached from the door.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.

The mailbox 1 is a box-shaped box that is removably connected to a door 2 by a connecting means, and the surface 3 that contacts the door is completely open, and both side walls 4 are partially opened to form an arc-shaped mail takeout port 5. It is formed.

As connection means for the receiver box, two cylindrical screw receivers 6 are erected on both sides of the upper part of the front wall 7, and the insertion-side joint portions 8 are stacked on these screw receivers 6 and fixed with screws 9. The joint part 10 on the hole side that receives the joint part 8 is the door 2
is fixed to the back surface of the door with a screw 11, and the screw is screwed into a screw receiver 13 of a mounting frame 12 of a socket applied to the surface of the door, and the mounting frame is also fixed to the door. Joint part 1
0 are located at positions corresponding to both sides of the receiving box 1, and are integrally connected by an elongated plate-shaped main body 14, with raised mounting seats 15 formed at both ends of the main body 14. A gap 16 exists between the joint part 10 and the surface of the door 2, and by inserting the joint part 8 into this gap, the upper part of the receiving box is fixed to the door. In order to ensure tight engagement between the joint parts 8 and 10, a substantially semicircular groove 17 is provided on one side, and a substantially semicircular protrusion 18 that engages with the groove is provided on the other side to form a mating surface. It is formed into a tapered shape. An insertion-side joint part 20 is formed at the center of the open end of the bottom wall 19 of the receiving box 1, and the width of the joint part 20 occupies approximately 2/5 of the width of the receiving box 1, and is connected to the joint part 20. The bottom 21 is the bottom 22 on both sides.
It is shallower and has a gentle slope. The joint part 23 that receives the joint part 20 is attached with a screw 2 on the back side of the door 1.
It is fixed at 4. This joint part 23 is the joint part 2
The rectangular mounting portion 2 has a width that is almost the same as that of 0.
5 and a rectangular receiving portion 26 folded back from its lower end. Mounting part 25 and receiving part 26
There is a gap 27 between the receiving box and the receiving box, and by inserting the joint part 20 in the gap, the lower part of the receiving box is fixed to the door. In order to make the engagement between the joint part 23 and the joint part 20 tight, the engaging surface of the receiving part 26 is sloped, and the engaging part of the joint part 20 is also raised.

Stack the receiver box 1 on the back side of the door 2, align the upper and lower joints 8 and 20 with the upper and lower joints 10 and 23,
When pressed down, the insertion-side joint part is inserted into the receiving-side joint part to connect the receiving box to the door. When the receiving box is pushed up in this connected state, the joints 8, 20 are separated from the joints 10, 23, and the receiving box is separated from the door. Incidentally, the relationship between male and female relative insertions of the connecting means may be reversed, or the protrusion and the hole may be fitted into each other relatively.

When the mail box is removed from the door, the mailboxes are conveniently dropped onto the back side of the door and do not overflow from the box.

A drainage hole 36 is formed in the bottom 19 of the receiving box 1, and the hole is formed semicircularly in the opening surface 3 of the deep bottom 22 on both sides.

The mail slot 28 includes a mounting frame 12 and a lid 29 pivotally attached to the mounting frame at the upper end with a pin 30 that opens inward.
1 is provided in the door, and a guide hole 32 formed by this guide wall is inclined so as to descend toward the receiving box side, making it easy to drop the mail.

As described above, the present invention is such that the upper both sides of the mailbox are separably fixed to the door using the joints 8 and 10 that can be inserted from above, and the lower part of the mailbox is separably fixed to the door by the insertion type from above. Since the mailbox is configured to be separably fixed using the built-in joints 20 and 23, it is extremely easy to fix the mailbox to the door or separate it from the door. The mailbox can be easily removed from the door and dropped onto the back side of the door, so newspapers, etc. do not overflow into the mailbox, which is safe from a crime standpoint, and also prevents clutter on the outside of the door. It doesn't look unsightly. In addition, in the present invention, a drain hole 36 is provided in the bottom 19 of the mailbox, so that condensed water and rainwater do not accumulate in the mailbox, and mailed items do not get wet.
