Appli/ganen slee tammy :za'ieae: y semi ino@ eieren 11 This invention relates to mail receivers. The general object of the'invention` is to provide a inailreceiver that is primarily designed for household use and is adapted yto be 5 arranged through the Wallet Va house so` thatv mail can be `deliveied Within the 'house With'. the result, damage and loss' of the mail by weather elements orfrornI other causes will be eliminated. Y f I y A further object ofk the invention'fis tor provide a inail receiver of the character set ortlnthat isA adjustable so that, yit' can bev adapted to fit Walls of various thicknesses. 'o
Another object ofthe invention is to'pro' 15 vide a mail receiver that is simple iny construction, inexpensive to 'manufactura and yetlicient in operation and service. 4 p This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and inthe lcoiiibina--r 2o tion and arrangement ofthe' several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustratedin the accornpanyingr drawings andspecitically pointed out in the appended claims. y
In describing my invention in detail, reference lWillbe had to the accompanying Vdraivings wherein like characters denote like orl corresponding yparts throughout 'the several views, and in which: Y y
' Figure 1 is -avertical sectional view-taken through the mail receiverformingl thesub ject matter of the present invention and slioW- ing the samel in applied position in a Wall. Figure Qis a front elevation thereot.` Figure 3 is a sectional vievv taken-approxi-. mately on lineBK- cfFigure 1, lookingiii the direction ot' tlie arrows. A 4 Vk l Figure 4 is a sectional View taken througli-v a slightly in'oditiediforin of the invention. l f
Figure 5 is a perspective View of the outside closure plate. Y Y
`Referring to the drawings in detail,lthe' letter A indicates a Wallet' a building or the like and which is provided With anelongated opening arranged at an inclination for lthe Y purpose of accommodating the chute ofthe mail receiver forming the subject matter 'of the present invention.` Y y i The chute is inade'up of ay pair of hollow,
sections elongated in cross section', `indicated respectively by the reference numerals V1' ytionvvitli respectto-ieach other, ears and 2. The Vsection 2 is slightly larger than the section 1 .for thepurpose of telescopically receiving the same as shown, whereby the chute can; be adapted to iitiwalls oi' various thicknesses as will be apparent; IThe section 1 has integrally formed theieivitlijor secured theretoin any Well known manner a plate 3' having arranged therein openings for receivving bolts 5 which are threadedly secured in sleeves L6, and tlieseusleeves i also threadedly i receive bolts T'passing throughthe inner plate l of the device flor securingthe'lchute'r in the opening and in itsadjuste'd position. i y f 3The `outer 'end of the-:chute is closedbyar door V5v having a reduced free .end .providing @handle 6 whereby the door may beinoved to its open-",positionas shown in dotted lines in 'Figure 1. iThe door Ahasextending :troni its inner `end* and disposed in opposed. rela'- vidingf` stops for holdingthe door in its closed position as shown infullV lines in Figw lure 1.r` "The, door isI mountedv for slidable yinovcinf'entithrough aslot formed in the plate [32nd vnormally.overlies' the outer end ot' the chute byvbeingsdisposed in contac gagenie'ntwiththe plate 3. i f l Y The inner end of the chute'is also Withsa; door Which'fis indicated .byfthe ref-fv erenceznuineral 8*,I and this door is liingedly secured: tothe innerplate 4. i i u Depend'ng from, the inner plate Lil and being tingk enlsecured thereto in a manner vto receive mail passed tliroughthe chute 'isy a tray 9 ythat is `relatively"narrow and deepfiand Which``A` is ioinied lfromgwire havingztwoi'of its ends ar-v y ranged yabove'the tray proper'and bentet v rightfa'n'glesupon themselves'inopposedxrela- Y tion-With respect to: eaclr other.: The said v ends; are `receivedfiii y' openingsil() formed?y in they innerplate et for the ipurpose' vof securing d relation with respect' to .the
the'trayfin Xe Platefl.-A l" f p The, youter plate which `is indicated by the referenoeinunieral, 3- isi also provided .withve .holder ttor;A accoiinnodating` mail ,and this meanspis `formed lfrom" Wire bent upon itself topr'ovidefarms 11 having their upper ends bentto bei received in openings formed the fplate, r3, for suplportiiig.KA the means belowproif provided o rso the outer end of the chute as best shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings' The arms extend forwardly at their lower ends, thence are disposed inwardly toward each other, and formed with the inwardly bent portions are upright portions 1Q disposed in parallelism with the arms 11, and these upright portions 12 are bent rearwardly in a horizontal plane, and are connected with portions which terminate to provide a hook 13. The mail supporting means ust described maybe utilized for the purpose of receiving papers, magazines or the like and the hook 13 may be adapted for the purpose of accommodating letters and the like to be taken up by the mail carrier.
In Figure 4 I have illustrated a slightly modified form of chute which also includes telescopically mounted sections indicated V'or distinction by the reference numerals 14 and 15, but it will be noted that the section 14 is provided with blocks having threaded bores to accommodate bolts 1G passing through openings formed in the inner plate 17 of this form for the purpose of securing the telescopically mounted sections in cooperative adjusted position.
The door 5 may have formed in any well known manner thereon the word Mail, as shown in Figure 5.
From the above description and disclosure of the drawings, it will be obvious that I have provideda mail receiving device, that ma be adjusted to fit various sizes of walls,
, an is adapted to be arranged through the wall so that mail and the like may Ile delivered directly in a building and thereby eliminate loss and damage to the mail as well as to overcome the inconvenience of going 'i outside of the building to collect mail de-V livered. f
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent. i
I desire it toA be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
' What- I claim is:
1. In a mail receiving means, a holder formed from wire, arms included in said holder, forward portions formed rwith vthe lower kendso said arms, portions formed with the forward portions and being disposed toward each other, upright portions formed with the portions disposed toward each other, rearwardly bent portions formed with the upright portions at their upper ends and belng disposed in a horizontal plane, portions prov1d1ng a hook and being formed with the rearwardly bent ortions, the hook forming portlons being isposed whereby the hook portions, and said arms having their upper telescopically mounted sections adapted to be arranged in an opening formed in the wall of a building, threaded bolts carried by said sections, and means threadedly receiving said bolts for securing the sections in cooperative ad'usted positions with respect to each other.
n testimony whereof I affix my signature.
ZADA LIZZIE FANCHIER.
