Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement of a mailbox, and more specifically, each corner of a pair of rectangular frames 1 located opposite on both sides is arranged parallel to each other. They are connected by connecting members 2 to form a rectangular frame 3, and an upper cover 4 and a lower cover 5 are disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 3, respectively, and a mail slot 6 is provided in the upper part of the front surface of the frame 3. A lighting device 10 which has a front plate 7, has a mail outlet 8 on the rear surface of the frame 3, has side plates 9 fixed to the outer periphery of each frame 1 of the frame 3, and is attached to the lower part of the front plate 7.
The inner edge of the lower horizontal stile 14 of each frame 1 of the frame 3 is the width between the two side edges of the partition plate 13 that partitions the mail storage section 11 and the mail storage section 11 to form a wiring space 12 on the lighting device 10 side. The width of the partition plate 13 is approximately the same as that of the opening, and the rising plate 15 and the bottom plate 16 are formed by bending the partition plate 13 into an oval shape. The rear edge of the bottom plate 16 of the partition plate 13 is connected to the bottom plate 16 of the partition plate 13 with screws 17 at the connecting member 2 located on the lower side of the rear surface of the frame 3.
This relates to a mailbox in which both side edges of the frame 1 are brought into contact with the inner edges of the lower horizontal stile 14 of the frame 1.

In a conventional mailbox, when the lighting device 10 and the mail storage section 11 are separated by the partition plate 13 to form the wiring space 12 on the lighting device side, the partition plate 13 and the side plates are attached to the rectangular frame 3. 9 is not fixed, but a cut-out 18 is provided in the lower cover 5 as shown in FIG.
3 or attach the rib 1 to the lower lid 5 as shown in Figure 2.
9 was provided, and the partition plate 13 was mounted and fixed on this rib 19.

However, in the former case, since the lower cover 5 is exposed behind the cut-out 18, rainwater that has flowed through the mail slot 6 etc. and entered between the wiring spaces 12 flows from the cut-out 18 to the mail storage section 1.
1, and in the latter case, there is a problem that the wiring is restricted by the rib 19. Furthermore, since the partition plate 13 is inserted and removed from the mail outlet 8 to be attached and removed, the partition plate The width between both side edges of 13 is the side plate 9
Because the shape must be smaller than the distance between
There was a fear that a gap would be created between the side edge of the bottom plate 16 of the partition plate 13 and the side plate 9, and the mail would fall into it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a structure in which a partition plate can be attached and removed by taking it in and out of a mail outlet by using a rectangular parallelepiped frame. However, there is no gap between the side edge of the bottom plate of the partition plate and the side plate, there is nothing to restrict the wiring in the wiring space, and there is no possibility of rainwater entering the mail storage area. The purpose is to provide mailboxes.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a rectangular frame, which is composed of a pair of frames 1 made of rectangular angle materials and four connecting members 2 made of angle materials cut at equal intervals. Connecting members 2 in which respective corners of a pair of positioned frames 1 are arranged parallel to each other.
It is connected at.

An upper cover 4 and a shallow lower cover 5 are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the frame 3, respectively, and a front plate 7 having a mail slot 6 to which a slot cover 20 is hingedly connected to the top of the frame 3 is arranged on the front surface of the frame 3. A pair of side plates 9 are respectively fixed to the outer peripheral edges of the frame body 1 of the frame 3, and a back plate 21 is hinged at both upper side edges to the side plates 9 on the rear surface of the frame 3, so that it can be opened and closed freely. installed.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a partition plate bent into an L-shape with a rising plate 15 and a bottom plate 16, and the width between both side edges of this partition plate 13 is equal to the inner edge of the lower horizontal stile 14 of each frame member 1 of the frame 3. The width of the rising plate 15 is approximately the same as that of the opening, and the tip of the rising plate 15 is bent forward at a gentle angle so that the upper edge of the rising plate 15 is close to the lower edge of the mail slot 6. The rear edge is connected to the connecting member 2 disposed on the lower side of the rear surface of the frame 3 with screws 17, and both side edges of the bottom plate 16 are in contact with the inner edges of the lower horizontal stile 14 of each frame 1. .

10 is a lighting device attached to the lower part of the front plate 7,
It is composed of a fluorescent lamp 22, a semi-transparent plate 23, and the like.

The lighting device 10 and the mail storage section 11 are separated by the partition plate 13.
A wiring space 12 is formed on the lighting device side by partitioning the two, and the electric wire 24 led out from the lighting device 10 is routed through the wiring space 12 from the through hole 25 of the lower cover 5 into the leg portion 26. .

As described above, the present invention forms a rectangular frame by connecting the corners of a pair of rectangular frames facing each other in parallel with each other, and each frame of the frame The side plates are each fixed to the outer periphery of the body, the width between the two side edges of the bottom plate of the partition plate is approximately the same as the width between the inner edges of the lower horizontal stile of each frame body, and the rear edge of the bottom plate of the partition plate is was connected to the connecting member located on the lower side of the rear surface of the frame using screws, and both edges of the bottom plate were brought into contact with the inner edges of the lower lateral stile of each frame, so that the existence of the lower lateral stile of the frame was avoided. This prevents gaps from forming between the side edges of the bottom plate of the partition plate and the side plates, preventing mail items from falling into it. Since the width is approximately the same as the width between the inner edges of the stile, the partition plate can be inserted and removed from the rear of the frame by simply tilting the partition plate slightly, making it easy to install and remove the partition plate. Since the rear edge is screwed to the connecting material arranged on the lower side of the rear surface of the frame, there are no obstructions in the wiring space below the partition plate, and wiring can be carried out freely. The lower lid is not exposed to the mail storage area above the partition plate, preventing rainwater from entering the mail storage area through the wiring space, and the interior of the mail storage area is clean and has an excellent design. It has the effect of being
