EDWIN T. Massager nooHEsTEauEW viro-RK..
LettersPatent No. 104,043, dated June 7, 1870.
IMPRO'V'EMENT IN LETTER-BOXES.
, j The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWIN T. MARSH, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State otl N ew York, have invented a new andvaluable Improvement in Letter-Boxes and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the Vconstruction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification, and to the letters and iigures of reference marked thereon. p
Figure -1 of the drawing is a perspective view of my invention.
Figure 2 is a centralvertical section of the same.
My invention relates to private mail-boxes, and consists, mainly, in the construction and novel arrangement ol' a secure receptacle for letters, to be attached to the inner side of the door of a. dwelling or oliiee, the
opening to the box being so arranged that newspapers, magazines, and other bulky articles can be passed through to the floor of the h all 'or apartment.Y
The letter A of the drawing represents a section of the door, to which the mail-box B is attached, being fastened thereto by one or two screws through the inner anch a, extending up liom the bottom of. the box, next the door A.
.In front of the box is a small opening, through which the letters are taken out. It is closed bya door, b,
hinged at the top, and provided with a suitable lock. Below this opening is a narrow horizontal opening, c,
glazed,in order that the presence of letters within the box may be determined without unlocking the same.
l) represents the inclined slot 'in the door through which all the mailmatter is passed.
E represents a shifting or hinged cover to the letterbox, so arranged that, when resting on the lower edge of the slot D, it will be parallel with the stationary top F ofthe box, thereby allowing all newspapers, lnagal Zines, die., to be passed-over it through the inclined passage Gr.
Then letters are to be delivered, the front'of the shifting-plate E is raised, and 'the letters introduced below it through the slot D. The cover E then falls, by its own weight, into place, while the letters pass over the inclined plate or guard H, and fall to the bottom of the box. 'p v l W`hat I claim as' my invention, and desire toseeure by Letters Patent, is
The mail-box` herein described, designed to be attached to doors orpartitions, and provided with the shifting cover E, inclined plane H, ilanch a, and glazed opening c, when constructed and operated as and for the purposes herein specified.
In testimony that 'I claim the above, I have here unto subscribed my .name in the presence of two witnesses.
