Description
Jan. 27, 1931. I: DALRYMPLE' MAIL Box SUPPORT Filed Oct. 17. 1929 By @z Attorney Patented 7 Jan. 27, 1931 v Flinn 'DALRYMPLEbF MIL-FORD, NEW YORK MAIL-BOX surron'r Application filed October 17,. sa'ey s riai No. 400300.
This invention relates todeposit and oollection mail receptacles and has more par,- ticular reference to an lmproved means for supporting the same.
ventionalmail box 11.
- The leg 7 ---of the member intermediate its ends has one side thereof pressed'outwarddings, it will-be seen that the numeral des- A still further object ofthe invention is to provide an improved support especially designed for supporting mail boxes which will be of an inexpensive and durable character, embodying novel-features of adjustment whereby various standard types of mail boxes may be supported thereon.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent during a study of the following description taken-in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section ofthe improved mailbox support, parts of the post being shown in section,
Figure 2 is a horizontal detail sectional view taken substantially on line 22 of Figure 1 Figlu'e' 3 is a fragmentary front elevation of the supporting post at theupper end portion of the post."
\Vith reference more in detail to the drawignates generally an elongated tubular vertical post, its lower end inserted in the ground one end of'an adjustable member 6 The adjustable member 6 is in the nature of a curved tubeof sufficiently small diameter to move freely inthe inside of the tube 5. The tube or member 6 consists of an upright leg or shank 7 fitting into the tube 5, and the laterallyextending curved end portion 8,'to the outer extremity of which is secured bysuitable brackets 9 and 10 respectively a conand having its upper end slidablyreceiving The tubular member 5 is provided on upper portion and on three sides thereof with a longitudinally extending slot.12 In forming therespective slots'12,'th e tube 5 at its upper end portionis bowed or pressed outwardly as at l3 the opposite sides thereof,
and along the "front side so as to provide three of such slots 12.
from the street line so ly asfat -14 to provide a laterally extending V lug 15 adapted to be selectively received in either of thegrooves 12. e
h In. practice, the member 6 maybe rotated or turned so t-hat'its curved portion 8 will extend directly forward of the tubular post 5 or to either side of the post, thus bringing the lug 15 into seated position within one of the'grooves 12, after which the leg 7 of the member 6 may be slid longitudinally down into the post 5, the lug 15 riding in that groove depending upon the direction with respect to the post 5 that the curved arm '8 of the member is to extend. I
In practice, the intermediate or front groove 12, will bethestreet line and the lug 14 may be received in this intermediate groove 12 in order that the mail'boxell carried on the curved portion 8 of themember 6 will be disposed within convenient reach of the postman delivering the mail, after which it may be swung to either the'right or' left inwardly with passersby.
It is believed that from theforegoing description,a clear understanding of the opera as not to interfere tion, construction, utility and advantages of the device of this nature will be had-by those skilled in this art. A more detailed description'thereof is believed unnecessary.
Hav'ng thus described my invention, what I claim as new is:
A mail box support comprising a hollow rality of longitudinally extending struck out I reinforcing ribs,the ribs'defining internal locking grooves, and a supporting rod insortable in thetube and rotatable therein hav-, .ing a stop collar resting on the upper edge of the post, witha struck out lug formed tubular supporting post provided with a plutherein for selectiveengagement in any one 7 of said locking groove V a Il -testimony whereof I atfixmy signature.
