WITNESSES-L INVENTOR:
N.PETERS, PHOTO-UYNOGRAPHER, WASHINGTON D c UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HOLLIS O. TROUT, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
LETTER-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,209, dated June 22, 1880.
I Application filed December 11, 1879.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Hours 0. TROUT, of Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and Improved Letter-Box, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a receptacle for mail-matter so arranged that its interior can be quickly and easily inspected without opening the cover.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved box; and Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same, taken on line a: w of Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
Referring to the drawings, A A are theends of the mail-box. The tops of ends A A are projected upward into the form of an inverted V. To one side, a, of the incline formed by this construction of the ends A A is fixed a plate, I), which forms one-half of the cover.
B is the hinged cover placed on the inclined sides a, of ends A, and connected at each end by an arm, G, rigidly attached to the under side of cover B, with the ends A, by pivoting the end 0 of said arms to the inside of said ends, in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 2. This mode of connecting cover B with the box permits the said cover to be drawn down on the inclined sides a to close the entrance to the box, and when thrown up to open the box the upper edge, d, is projected over the upper edge, 0, of cover I), and any water that may have collected on cover B will be thrown off on cover I) instead of falling down within the box.
The sides D of the box inay be formed of Wire-gauze, as shownin the drawings, or they may be formed of glass, or glass protected by an exterior coveringof wire-gauze, or any other material that will permit a quick inspection of the box through the sides.
The box thnsconstructed may have its ends A A attached to standards E E rising from a plate, F, when the bottom of the box and the sides are one, as in the drawings; but ifit is provided with a wooden or metal bottom it may be set on a post or any other suitable support.
The box is intended principally for the use of residences and stores as a receptacle for newspapers; but it may also be used as a receptacle for other mail-matter.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A mail-box having ends A projected up in the form of an inverted V, the plate I) on the inclined side a, the hinged cover B, arranged on the inclined sides a and connected at each end by the arm 0, whose end is pivoted to the inside of ends A, and the wire-gauze D, the
whole supported upon a frame, E E F, as
shown and described.
