Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to the structure of a mail entry port in a mail box.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a structure for providing a mail entry port in the main body of the mail box into which the postal items are input, a panel body in which a mounting flange is bent and formed in the opening of the cylindrical body and the insertion port is opened in the mounting flange is formed. The one that fixes is proposed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, in order to fix the panel body to the main body, at least the mounting flange can be sufficiently secured with a screw hole of a screw for mounting or a welding margin for spot welding. It was necessary to make the width wide, and as a result, there was a drawback that the width of the inlet could not be sufficiently secured.

In addition, when attaching the insertion port lid to the insertion port, it is necessary to separately fix a hinge member or the like to the panel body, and there is also a drawback that assembly workability is poor. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the width of the mail input port can be made sufficiently wide, and the mail input port in the mail box with good assembling workability is provided. It is intended to provide a structure.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is a panel-like body having a mail box main body 1 having an opening on at least one side and a mail entry opening 2 on an upper portion thereof, as shown in FIG. 1 corresponding to an embodiment. An opening panel 4 fixed to the opening 3 of the main body 1 and a hinge receiver 5 formed integrally with the opening panel 4 are pivotally supported in the vertical direction so that the opening 2 can be opened and closed. The inlet panel 6 is formed by bending the periphery of the opening 3 of the main body 1 and is fixed to a mounting flange 7 having a narrow portion corresponding to the inlet 2. This is accomplished by providing a mail entry structure in the mailbox.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a projection 8 may be provided on the insertion port panel 4 so as to come into contact with a corner of the mounting flange 7 to regulate the fixing position of the insertion port panel 4. ..

[0007]

[Action]

 The input port panel 4 in which the mail input port 2 is formed is fixed to a mounting flange 7 formed by bending the periphery of the opening 3 of the mail box body 1. The mounting flange 7 has a narrow portion where the charging port 2 is provided, and the size of the opening 3 in the width direction is large. The charging port 2 can be wide without considering the mounting flange 7.

A hinge receiver 5 for pivotally supporting the input cover 6 is integrally formed on the input port panel 4, and the mounting of the input cover 6 is completed only by inserting a hinge pin into the hinge receiver 5. ..

【Example】

 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, the overall configuration of the mail box will be described with reference to FIG. This mail box comprises a main body 1 of a mail box which is formed by bending a plate material such as a stainless steel plate into a tubular shape, a loading port panel 4 fixed to a front side opening 3 of the main body 1, and a loading port panel. And a door panel 10 that is pivotally mounted on a door mounting frame 9 that is fixed to the rear side opening 3 of the main body 1.

The door panel 10 includes a lock device 11 attached to an opening side edge thereof, and a latch 12 of the lock device 11 properly locked to a latch receiver (not shown) of the door mounting frame 9. And a guide protrusion 13 for guiding the.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the input port panel 4 has a frame portion 14 having the same outer peripheral shape as the outer periphery of the main body 1, and a mail input port 2 below the frame portion 14. In order to form the above, a closing plate portion 15 that closes the lower portion of the frame portion 14 and a hinge receiver 5 that bulges forward along the upper edge of the frame portion 14 are provided. A pin holding hole 17 for receiving the hinge pin 16 is provided on the end surface of the. In addition, as will be described later, the closing plate portion 15 is formed so as to project forward so that the surface of the closing plate portion 15 and the surface of the closing port lid 6 are flush with each other when the closing lid portion 6 is attached. There is.

The input port lid 6 is made of a semitransparent synthetic resin material, and is formed by a lid main body 18 that is loosely fitted in the input port 2 and is hung from a lower end edge of the lid main body 18 to form an input port panel. 4 has a hanging strip 19 which comes into contact with the back surface of the lid 4, and the hinge pin 16 is inserted into a hinge hole 18a formed in the upper side surface of the lid main body 18 to pivotally support the insertion port panel 4 in a vertically rotatable manner. To be done.

In order to fix the input port panel 4 configured as described above, a mounting flange 7 is bent and formed around the opening 3 of the main body 1. The mounting flange 7 has a narrowed width at a portion corresponding to the input port 2 of the input port panel 4 and is formed into a narrow width, and serves as a rotation locus of the input port lid 6 loosely fitted in the input port 2. Interference is prevented.

On the back surface of the inlet port panel 4, a protrusion 8 that fits into the inner periphery of the cutout portion 7 a of the mounting flange 7 is provided in an L-shape when viewed from the front, and the inlet port panel for the main body 1 is provided. The fixed position of Rule 4 is regulated.

The fixing of the inlet panel 4 to the mounting flange 7 is performed by a screw 20 screwed from the inner side of the main body 1, so that the fixing portion is not exposed to the outside of the mail box. To prevent. In this case, the fastening with the screw 20 is performed on the portion excluding the portion where the cutout portion 7a is provided and on the back surface of the closing plate portion 15 and the hinge receiver 5 so that the attachment can be performed securely and firmly.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As is clear from the above description, according to the structure of the mail input port in the mail box according to the present invention, the mounting flange for fixing the input port panel in which the mail input port is formed has a portion where the input port is provided. Since the width is narrow, the opening size in the width direction can be made large, and the charging port can be made large.

Further, since the hinge receiver that pivotally supports the insertion port lid is integrally formed on the insertion port panel, it is not necessary to separately fix the hinge member, and the assembling workability can be improved.
