Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to the structure of a mailbox slot in which the opening angle of the slot cover can be adjusted.

[Background technology]

In the conventional mailbox slot, the upper end of the slot cover 7 is simply pivoted to the upper part of the inside of the slot 6 so that it can rotate freely within the mailbox 5, as shown in FIG. Ta. By the way, if the opening width of the input slot 6 is small, it will not be possible to insert the hand 9 into the input slot 6 from the front and pull out the mailbox 10 from the mailbox 5, but in recent years, the size of mailboxes 10 such as newspapers has become larger. Therefore, the vertical width of the input port 6 is designed to be wide. For this reason, in the conventional example shown in FIG. 8, when the input slot 6 is opened, a hand enters the inside of the mailbox 5 as shown in FIG.
There was a risk that 0 would be removed from the front side.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been devised in view of the above points, and its purpose is to make it possible to fully open the inlet cover provided at the inlet by rotating the stopper metal fitting, or to open it more than half way. We provide a mailbox slot structure that allows you to select between adjusting the rotating angle of the slot cover to allow large items to be thrown in, or preventing your hand from inserting into the slot. There is something to do.

[Disclosure of invention]

The structure of the input slot of the mailbox of this invention is as follows:
A stopper fitting 4 is constructed by having a short piece 2 projecting at right angles from a part of one side edge, and rotatably supporting an end of a fixing piece 3 on the remaining part of one side edge of the long piece 1; A slot cover 7 that rotates within the mail box 5 is rotatably arranged in the slot 6 of the mail box 5,
Mailbox 5 corresponding to the half-open position of the input port lid 7
When the fixing piece 3 of the stopper fitting 4 is fixed to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5 so that the long piece 1 is located closer to the slot 6 than the short piece 2, and the short piece 2 is made perpendicular to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5. When the input opening cover 7 does not touch the short piece 2 and the long piece 1 is made perpendicular to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5, the input opening cover 7 touches the long piece 1 and prevents further rotation. It is constructed by setting the lengths of the long piece 1 and the short piece 2, and by having such a configuration, the above-mentioned object of the present invention is achieved.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. 4 in the diagram
is a stopper fitting with a short piece 2 protruding at right angles from a part of one side edge of the long piece 1 (in the example shown, the upper and lower parts of the one side edge). The end of the fixed piece 3 is rotatably supported on the remaining portion of one side edge of the long piece 1 by a shaft 11, thereby forming a stopper fitting 4. In the figure, reference numeral 5 denotes a mailbox, and a slot 6 is provided at the upper front of the mailbox 5, and a slot cover 7 is rotatably supported at the upper part of the inside of the slot 6. Therefore, the input port cover 7 is adapted to rotate within the mailbox 5. A fixing piece 3 of a stopper fitting 4 is fixed to an inner wall 8 of a mailbox 5. In this case, the stopper fitting 4 is attached at a position corresponding to the input port cover 7 when the input port cover 7 is half-opened. The stopper fitting 4 is used to fix the fixing piece 3 to the inner wall 8 of the mail box 5 so that the long piece 1 is located closer to the slot 6 than the short piece 2.
Furthermore, the length relationship between the long piece 1 and the short piece 2 of the stopper metal fitting 4 is such that when the short piece 2 is made perpendicular to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5, even when the input opening lid 7 is rotated, the insertion opening lid 7 will not move. The short piece 2 is not touched, and when the long piece 1 is made perpendicular to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5, the slot cover 7 comes into contact with the long piece 1. Here, when the long piece 1 is made to protrude at right angles to the inner wall 8, the short piece 2 is in contact with the inner wall 8, so that further rotation of the long piece 1 is prevented, and as a result, Further rotation of the input port cover 7 that hits the long piece 1 is prevented, and the input port cover 7 cannot be opened more than half-open, and as shown in FIG.
The opening width indicated by is narrowed so that it is impossible to put your hand into the mailbox 5 from the front side. On the other hand, under normal conditions, the short piece 2 is made perpendicular to the inner wall 8 of the mailbox 5, so that the slot cover 7 can be fully opened without being obstructed by the stopper fitting 4. Therefore, even a thick mailbox 10 can normally be thrown into the mailbox 5 through the slot 6. Note that a take-out port (not shown) is provided at the back of the mailbox 5 for taking out the mailed item 10.

[Effect of idea]

In the present invention, as mentioned above, the short piece protrudes at a right angle from a part of one side edge of the long piece, and the end of the fixed piece is rotatably attached to the remaining part of one side edge of the long piece. The stopper metal fitting is pivotally supported to form a stopper metal fitting, an input opening cover that rotates in the mailbox is rotatably arranged at the input opening of the mailbox, and the stopper metal fitting is fixed to the inner wall of the mailbox corresponding to the half-open position of the input opening cover. Fix the strips so that the long strips are located closer to the slot than the short strips, and when the short strips are perpendicular to the inner wall of the mailbox, the slot cover does not touch the short strips, and the long strips are placed on the inner wall of the mailbox. The lengths of the long piece and the short piece are set so that when the input port lid is placed at right angles to the long piece, further rotation is prevented. By making it perpendicular to the wall, you can fully open the input port to accommodate thick mailboxes, and also to prevent mailboxes from being stolen when you go out. By making the long pieces perpendicular to the inner wall, the input port cover can be prevented from opening more than half-open, and it is possible to prevent hands from entering the input port from the front side. In this way, the present invention allows the opening angle of the input port to be selected.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A short piece protrudes at a right angle from a part of one side edge of the long piece, and the end of a fixed piece is rotatably supported on the remaining part of one side edge of the long piece to constitute a stopper fitting, and a mailbox is constructed. An input slot cover that rotates inside the mailbox is rotatably arranged in the input slot of the mailbox, and the fixing piece of the stopper fitting is attached to the inner wall of the mailbox corresponding to the half-open position of the input slot, so that the long piece is closer to the input opening than the short piece. If the short piece is placed at a right angle to the inside wall of the mailbox, the input slot cover will not touch the short piece, and the long piece is placed at right angles to the inside wall of the mailbox, the input slot cover will be long. The structure of the slot for a mailbox is such that the lengths of the long piece and the short piece are set so that the pieces hit and prevent further rotation.
