Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mailbox and has an improved internal structure.

Conventionally, there have been various types of play boxes, and they are used depending on the location of the husband and husband, the size of the storage volume, etc., but usually they are equipped with one drop-in opening and one take-out opening, and are used for mail boxes. The mouth is equipped with a flap that is elastically closed at all times.

For this reason, when mail is mailed, it is often caught by the flap and does not fall into the mailbox, leaving a portion of the mail protruding from the mailbox.

In such conditions, there is a risk that mail items may get wet or be removed during rain, and if newspapers are folded and mailed, there is a risk that the surface of the paper may be torn when removed. Ta.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks, and not only allows for easy mailing, but also has a structure that forces mail etc. to be mailed completely inside, and also eliminates the psychology of trying to mail things completely inside. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mailbox that can be opened up.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

1 in the figure is a box-shaped mailbox body, and the front 2
A mailbox 3 is provided approximately in the center of the box.

Above the mailbox 3 is an eaves section 4 that slopes from the front surface 2.
A concealing plate 4a having a small width extends downwardly from the front edge of the eaves part 4 to conceal a locking part of a flap, which will be explained later.

A display window 5 is formed on the front surface 2 above the eaves section 4, and a transparent body 6 such as a transparent plastic plate is attached to the display window 5 from the rear surface.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a flap that is locked to the eaves portion 4 with a locking fitting 8 and is swingably suspended, and is provided in front of the mailbox 3 so as to hide the mailbox 3.

A display board 9 is provided inward from the lower end of the flap 7, and when the flap is lifted and rotated about the locking part by the locking fitting 8 when posting mail, newspapers, etc., the display board 9 is displayed as above. It appears in the display window.

The flap 7 is longer than the mailbox 3, but the display board 9 is shorter than the mailbox 3 so that it can pass through the mailbox.

In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the display board 9 extends horizontally from the bottom of the flap 7, and the portion corresponding to the display window 5 has a display with characters such as "Gokurou-sama" and "Thank you". Paper 9a is attached replaceably.

This display paper 9a may be an adhesive or an insert type.

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the flap 7 is lifted as shown in FIG.
After the state shown in FIG. 4, the image appears diagonally on the display window 5 as shown in FIG. 4B.

In order to make the display board 9 appear parallel to the display window 5, the lower end of the flap 7 may be extended by the same width as the display board 9 to form an extension 7a, as shown in FIG.

In addition, in order to make the display board 9 parallel to the display window 5 when the flap 7 is in an inclined state, the angle between the extension part 7a and the display board 9 should be made acute as shown in FIG. .

Reference numeral 10 denotes side walls provided on both left and right sides of the eaves section 4, which hide the mailbox 3 and the like to prevent rainwater, dirt, etc. from entering the inside.

Numeral 11 is a name tag holder provided on the front surface 2 below the mailbox 3, and allows the name tag 12 to be inserted from the side.

The mail outlet 13 is provided on the back side of the mailbox main body 1 as shown in FIG.
A spare outlet 14 is also provided on the side surface.

15 is a cover plate, which can be opened and closed by a hinge part 16.

Conventional mailboxes have only one outlet, which limits the choice of mounting location, but with the above method, the mounting location and direction can be freely selected.

According to the mailbox of the present invention, the flap is lifted when posting mail, newspapers, etc., but the flap is suspended in front of the mailbox, so if you only push up the flap, the mail etc. will not fit into the mailbox. Since the mail cannot be inserted (in this state, the mail etc. will fall), it is necessary to accurately drop the mail into the mailbox.

The flap is swingably locked to the bottom and does not have the elasticity of conventional mailings, so it is not only easy to mail, but when the flap is lifted during mailing, the flap pivots on the locking part of the locking metal fitting. This causes the display board to appear in the display window.

Although the display surface can be seen through the display window, if you want to read it, you have no choice but to post the mail etc. accurately.
By inducing the user's mind to read the display screen, the user can post accurately.

As mentioned above, with this mailbox, there is no risk of mail etc. sticking out of the mailbox or being left in a state where it is caught in the flap as in the conventional case, and there is no risk of mail etc. getting wet with rainwater or being torn when taken out. do not have.
