のである。When a storage item 5 such as a mail or a newspaper is inserted into the storage box 1 from the input port 2, the storage item 5 takes the upper surface of the inclined guide plate 4 at the bottom of the storage box 1 toward the outlet 3. It slides down, but at that time, the light transmitting hole 4a of the inclined guide plate 4
Is closed to shut off the connection between the upper light emitting element 6a and the lower light receiving element 6b,
, A signal is transmitted from the transmitter 9 to the receiver 10 to notify the occupant of the presence of the stored items 5 in the storage box 1.
