This invention relates to a receptacle designed primarily for holding newspapers, periodicals and the like, one of the objects of the invention being to provide a receptacle which can be installed on a porch, house or other structure where publications delivered by mail can be placed and properly held until removed by the addressee.
Another object is to provide a device of this character having transparent walls so that the contents thereof can be seen through the walls.
n further objectis to provide simple and eficient means for attaching the container to a supporting structure.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description Pl'OCPQdS, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the container.
Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2, Fig ure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged section on line 33, Figure 1.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a molded. container of glass or rather suitable transparent material,
the same being substantially cylindrical. in the form illustrated and being provided with a closed end 2 and an open flared end 3. Ribs 4 arranged in pairs extend around the container, at desired intervals, the distance between theribs of eachpair being substantially equal. to the diameter of a wire 5 looped about the container and having terminal arms 6 extending in opposite direct-ions. These arms terminate in eyes 7 adapted to receive screws 8 or other fastening means. One or more of these attaching brackets formed by a wire 5 can be used, one bracket being seated between the ribs t of one pair while another bracket, if used, is seated between the ribs 4 of another pair. The brackets are so proportioned that when the arms 6 are fastened to a supporting structure 9, the container ered by mail or otherwise.
l will be supported rigidly and substantially parallel with the structure but spaced therefrom except at its flared upper end, as shown in Figure 2.
Obviously newspapers or other publications when delivered to an addressee can be inserted into the flared end 3 of the con tainer belonging to said addressee and a mere glance at the container will disclose through the transparent wall thereof,
whether a publication has been delivered.
