Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a cap to a mailbox in which the cap and the box are separate bodies.

[Background Art] Conventionally, there is a type of mailbox in which a base 8 and a box body 2 are integrally attached as shown in FIG. 6. However, this type of product has a problem in that when there are many types of caps 8 and box bodies 2, the type is determined by the combination, so a large number of types must be kept in stock. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
There is a type that is made into a separate body and attached from the front and back via the gate post A. The problem with this type of construction was that it took a lot of time and effort to install, and depending on whether the construction was done well or poorly, rainwater could easily enter.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to separate the cap and the box body so that they can be stocked separately, and the variety and inventory can be easily controlled. The number can be reduced, and the load of blocks, etc. applied to the top plate of the box body can be supported by the base, preventing the top plate from being dented and rainwater collecting. To provide a mailbox that prevents rainwater from entering the box body.

[Disclosure of the invention] The mailbox of the invention has a box body 2 whose front face is an opening 1, and a hanging hanging piece 3 for hanging down from the upper edge of the opening 1, and a lower vertical piece 4. A horizontal piece 5 protrudes from the upper end toward the back, and an upper vertical piece 6 is provided upward from the tip of the horizontal piece 5 to form a hooking fitting 7 having a length that spans approximately the entire length of the box in the width direction. , fix the lower vertical piece 4 of this hook 7 to the upper end of the back of the cap 8,
The hanging hanging piece 3 of the box body 2 is attached to the upper vertical piece 6 of the hooking fitting 7.
At the same time, the lower end of the hanging hanging piece 3 for locking is placed on the horizontal piece 5 of the hooking fitting 7, the lower vertical piece 4 is positioned forward of the hanging hanging piece 3 for locking, and the lower end of the base 8 is placed in the box. It is attached to the lower edge of the opening 1 of the box body 2 with a screw 9, and the cap is disposed on the front side of the box body. By adopting such a configuration, the above-mentioned object of the present invention can be achieved. This has been achieved. That is, in the case of the present invention, by separating the base 8 and the box body 2, the number of items in stock can be reduced, and the hanging hanging piece 3 of the box body 2 can be
Although the simple attachment means of locking is used, by locking to the upper vertical piece 6 of the hanging metal fitting 7 and placing the lower end of the hanging hanging piece 3 on the horizontal piece 5 of the hanging metal fitting 7. Even if a block is placed on the top plate 10 of the box body 2 and a load is applied, the top plate 10 will not be dented by receiving the load from the base 8 via the hook having a length that covers approximately the entire length in the width direction of the box body. It is designed to prevent rainwater from collecting on the top plate 10, and by positioning the lower vertical piece 4 in front of the locking hanging piece 3, the connection between the cap 8 and the box body 2 is improved. This structure prevents rainwater from entering into the box body 2 even if rainwater enters between the boxes.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. The front surface of the box body 2 is an opening 1, and the opening 1 of the box body 2 is
A hanging hanging piece 3 for locking is provided downward over the entire length from the upper edge, and a mounting piece 11 is provided extending upward over the entire length from the lower edge of the opening 1 of the box body 2. A draining piece 12 further protrudes from the upper end of the attachment piece 11 toward the upper back. Further, a hole 13 is bored in the mounting piece 11. The cap 8 has an input port 14 in the center, and this input port 14
An input port cover 15 is attached to the input port so that it can be opened and closed. A screw hole 16 is provided in the lower part of the back surface of the cap 8. In addition, the upper part of the back part of the upper part of the cap 8 has a cap 8.
A recess 17 is formed over almost the entire length of the recess 17, and a lower recess 1 deeper than the recess 17 is provided at the bottom of the recess 17.
8 is provided, and the lower wall portion 19 of the lower recess 18 is inclined downwardly toward the back. The hook 7 has a horizontal piece 5 protruding backward from the upper end of the lower vertical piece 4, and an upper vertical piece 6 protruding upward from the tip of the horizontal piece 5. This hooking metal fitting 7 has a length that spans almost the entire length in the width direction of the box body 2, and is disposed at the upper back side in the longitudinal direction, and the lower vertical piece 4 is connected to the base 8.
It is fixed to the concave portion 17 with a fixing device 20 such as a screw. In this case, the tip of the horizontal piece 5 of the hook 7 protrudes backward from the upper back end 21 of the cap 8, and as a result, the upper vertical piece 7 that protrudes from the tip of the horizontal piece 5 also naturally extends to the top of the cap 8. It is located further back than the upper end 21 of the back surface. Thus, the locking hanging piece 3 of the box body 2 is locked to the upper vertical piece 6 of the hook 7, and the lower end of the locking hanging piece 3 is placed on the horizontal piece 5 of the hook 7, and then The base 8 was attached to the box 2 by placing the lower part of the cap 8 against the attachment piece 11 at the lower edge of the opening 1 of the box 2, inserting the screw 9 through the hole 13, and screwing it into the screw hole 16. It is something. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower vertical piece 4 of the hook 7 attached to the cap 8 is located forward of the hanging hanging piece 3 which is the front end of the box body 2. Result cap 8
Even if rainwater enters between the box body 2 and the
Water is drained to the front of the box body 2 through the front surface of the upper vertical piece 6 of the hook 7, the upper surface of the horizontal piece 5, and the front surface of the lower vertical piece 4, which are arranged along the entire length of the upper edge of the cap 8 as shown by the arrow in the figure. It is designed to prevent it from entering the box body 2.

[Effects of the invention] As mentioned above, in this invention, the cap and the box body are separate, so they can be stocked separately, reducing the number of products and the number of items in stock. Since it is locked to the upper vertical piece of the hook and the lower end of the hanging hanging piece is placed on the horizontal piece of the hook, the top of the box can be easily fixed even though the simple attachment method of locking is used. Even if a block is placed on the board and a load is applied, the hook, which has a length that spans almost the entire width of the box body, prevents the top board from being dented by the load on the base, and rainwater can drain onto the top board. Since the lower vertical piece is located in front of the locking hanging piece, even if rainwater enters between the cap and the box body, it will not get into the box body. It's something you don't do.
