Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a mail box having a function of widely opening a mail box when a mail item is put in or taken out.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there have been receptacles for mailboxes provided with a receptacle on the front surface of the mailbox, and those provided with a receptacle on the top when the lid is lifted. Parts were of limited size.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the case of the conventional technology, recently postal items include not only sealed letters and postcards but also considerably bulky items such as newspapers and magazines, which makes it difficult to take them in and out from a narrow receiving port. However, there is a problem in that the postal matter may be damaged when it is taken in and out. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a mail receiver in which mail can be easily put in and taken out.

[Means for Solving the Problems] When the upper lid (2) attached to the mail receiving main body (1) is lifted, the ultrafine chain (5) attached to the upper lid with a stopper I (4) is pulled, and the chain is a pulley I. (6), pulley I
As a result of pulling the connecting plate (9) attached to the front lid (3) with the bolts (10) through I (7), the front lid (3) is fixed to the rail (1- (3)) of the mail receiver body and the groove of the front lid. (3-
With the support of (1)), the structure is such that it slides downward, and the mail receptacle widens.

[Operation] When using, if the upper lid attached to the mail receiving main body is lifted, the front lid slides downward and the mail receiving opening greatly expands due to the action of the chain attached to the upper lid and the pulley attached to the side wall. After the mail is stored, if the upper lid is returned to its original position, the coiled spring installed inside will cause the front lid to slide upward and automatically return to the original closed state.

[Examples] Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3
In the figure, the mail receiver body (1) is prepared by using a metal plate or a plastic plate that is slightly larger than the size of a newspaper or magazine so that it can be stored easily. The front lid (3) is made of the same material, the groove of the front lid is fitted to the rail portion of the main body, and the front lid is attached so as to freely slide in the upward and downward directions. The upper lid (2) made of the same material is attached to the upper part of the mail receiver body (1) by a hinge. Prepare a size that does not allow rainwater to enter the mailbox. Next, a flexible and ultra-thin chain having sufficient strength is prepared, and the upper lid and the front lid are connected through a pulley and further connected to a coil spring.
When the upper lid is lifted, the front lid automatically slides downward to widen the mail receptacle, and when the upper lid is returned to its original position, the front lid automatically slides upward to close the receptacle. The present invention has the structure as described above, and when using this, when the mail is to be put in, the upper lid is first lifted. Then, the front lid slides downward by the chain and the pulley to open the receiving opening. When the upper lid is lowered and returned to its original position, the front lid slides upward by the action of the chain, pulley, and coil spring to close the receptacle. Here, the positions of the pulley and the chain stopper can be devised as shown in FIG. 4 so that the front lid can slide more easily.

[Advantages of the Invention] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. When a mail item is put in or taken out, the receptacle of the mail receiver is automatically widened greatly, which makes it extremely easy to put in and take out a bulky mail item. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a newspaper that is forced into a narrow receiving opening from being forcibly pulled out and damaged.
