ANDREW H. HAYNES, OF SISSONVILLE, WEST VIRGINIA.
MAIL-BOX.
Application filed September 17, 1915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW H. HAYNES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sissonville, in the county of Kanawha and State of West Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mail- Boxes, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to mail boxes, and more particularly to the class of rural mail receptacles.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a mail box or receptacle of this character, wherein it is formed from a single piece of material, preferably sheet metal, and affords independent compartments for the deposit of small mail matter in one of the same, while the other compartment is adapted to receive larger mail matter.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a mail box or receptacle, of this character, wherein the construction is novel in form, so that different classes of mail matter can be conveniently segregated, to assure the handling of the same with despatch.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a mail box or receptacle, of this character which is extremely simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and efiicient in its purpose, strong, durable, weather-proof, and inexpensive in manufacture.
lVith these and other objects in view the invention consists in the features of construcresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 10, 1916.
Serial No. 51,227.
Referring to the drawing in detail, the mail box or receptacle comprises a blank A, preferably metal, which is cut to form the front wall 5, rear wall 6, side walls 7, bottom 8, sloping roof sections 9, and a rear upwardly tapering extension 10, which constitute the body of the said box or receptacle.
The body of the mail box or receptacle is formed into upper and lower compartments l1 and 12, respectively, through the medium of a horizontal partition 13, which is cut and bent from the blank A. The free edges of the blank A, are joined with each other by solder, although the same may be overlapped and riveted if desired. Provided in the front wall 5, is an elongated slot 14, through which is inserted first class mail matter for the introduction thereof into the lower compartment 12, in the body of the box or receptacle. The upper compartment 11, is open at its front to permit the placing of parcel post matter therein, although if found desirable a door or other closure may be provided at the front of this compartment for closing the same, while formed in the rear wall 6, is a suitable doorway, which is adapted to be closed through the medium of a swinging door 15, having a lock, and this doorway permits the removal of the first class mail matter by the user of the box or receptacle.
From the foregoing it is thought that the construction and manner of use of the box or receptacle will be clearly understood and therefore a more extended explanation has been omitted.
What is claimed is A mail box, comprising a blank of material cut and folded to provide a box-like body, including top, bottom, sides and ends, one endbeing extended above the top and having a tapered portion, the opposite sides being extended and bent toward each other to meet the tapered portion and adapted to be united thereto and to each other to provide a chamber above the body, said chamber being open throughout the front thereof.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
ANDREW H. HAYNES.
