Definitions

  • Mailbox systems which usually comprise several individual mailboxes and which are often equipped with a bell system and sometimes also with a lighting system, are either used as a structural unit in a recess in a part of the building, or are attached to a wall or are freely placed on a stand.
  • the mailbox system has a box-shaped housing in which the individual mailboxes combined into a block are accommodated.
  • This housing rests on the base frame, which has one foot or two feet depending on the size of the mailbox system, but which can also have several feet.
  • Such foot frames are sometimes designed as bow frames, the elevation of which represents an inverted U.
  • the feet are designed as base feet.
  • Temple feet are generally only suitable for smaller housings. They have less strength. Your feet must be concreted in place so that the mailbox system is at least reasonably stable.
  • Base feet have a post made of a hollow profile that has either a circular cross-section or a long-round cross-section. In the case of the elongated profile shape, polygon surfaces are sometimes used instead of the curves.
  • the post has a footplate at the lower end and a headplate at the upper end.
  • the letterbox housing is screwed to the top plate. The foot plate is used to attach the foot frame to the floor.
  • the posts with a circular ring profile are made from a single sheet metal blank, the circular ring shape being produced by infeeding.
  • the butt edge is welded.
  • Both non-circular post profiles are generally made of two half-shells with the corresponding half profile, either bent or folded. The half-shells are welded together along their two abutting edges. Such a post is then welded to the base plate and to the top plate. This means that at least two butt welds must be welded. This requires a certain amount of work, and care must also be taken to ensure that the two half-shells are welded together in a fitting manner, because otherwise the connection to the two end plates is made more difficult and, above all, the good appearance of the base frame suffers considerably.
  • the post Since such a post is made from two identical half-shells, the post would not have any openings for an electrical installation, which is the rule in free-standing letterbox systems. Therefore, a recess is cut out on one of the half shells before profiling, which has the size of the subsequent installation opening. Before welding two half-shells together, the cutout for the installation opening must be provided with a support frame for a cover, by means of which the installation opening is later closed flush with the outer surface of the post.
  • This mounting frame for the lid must be manufactured separately and, above all, welded in separately. This causes additional work.
  • the recess for the installation opening must also be cut out on the flat sheet metal blank.
  • This cutout hampers the production of the circular ring profile considerably, because at the edges of the cutout the edge areas tend to spring open again, so that the outline of such a cutout has to be adjusted by hand, otherwise the cylindrical surface of the foot would be disturbed and the lid in the form of a Circular cylinder section would not fit.
  • Even with such a cutout is a support frame for the Cover required. This must also be made separately. However, it can only be welded into the post after the circular ring profile has been produced, because otherwise the sheet metal blank could not be rolled in. The welding of such a support frame in the circular closed foot is extremely difficult, especially since the welding in the cramped interior of the post must be carried out practically blind.
  • the installation opening can only be made with limited dimensions.
  • the foot frame can only be attached to the floor by the base plate projecting outward beyond the outline of the post and the mounting holes for attachment screws being arranged in the external flange area of the base plate. If the base plate should no longer be visible after the completion of the mailbox system, the letterbox system with its base frame must be set up there in its vicinity before the floor is finished and the floor in its installation area must only be completed in such a way that the base plate is covered becomes.
  • the height of the floor slab and in particular its after Fastening screws and fastening nuts protruding above must be planned for the floor and taken into account during its manufacture. The previous installation of the mailbox system means that it is exposed to all hazards at a construction site.
  • a mailbox system that has already been set up can significantly hinder other work at the construction site, in particular if it is set up for architectural reasons in a place where scaffolding or construction platforms or the like should or must be set up later.
  • Such a leg frame firmly connected to the floor some of which is even below the floor, can no longer be dismantled without damaging or destroying the floor covering, even if it were necessary for repair reasons.
  • the invention has for its object a mailbox system with a base and with an installation opening on To create a pedestal in which the manufacture of the pedestal is simplified and the assembly of the mailbox system is facilitated.
  • a post is created, which alone has sufficient dimensional stability and load-bearing capacity to be carried either as a single foot or with one or more additional feet together as a group of the housing of the mailbox system.
  • This post can be produced relatively easily because the base body can be produced as a continuously open hollow profile, in which no cutouts are required in its sheet metal blank. Because this hollow profile is open in a certain circumferential area over the entire height of the post, all installation work and / or assembly work can be carried out simply and without hindrance through this continuous opening.
  • the required electrical installations can also be carried out effortlessly through the large side opening in a post.
  • the side panel can easily be removed and either the repair, for example in the electrical installation area, can be carried out or, for example, for major repairs to the mailbox system itself, the fastening screws on the base plate can be removed and the entire mailbox system can be cleared from the floor be lifted off and taken to a workshop. The floor and its covering are not affected at all.
  • the system elements for the side part are created in a very simple and inexpensive manner.
  • the Z-shaped profile parts in particular in the form of a continuous Z-shaped angled edge section on both sides of the opening, contribute to a considerable increase in the dimensional stability of the open hollow profile of the post.
  • the shape of the side part is similar increased considerably, whereby the required increase in the depth of the Z-profile of the abutment elements of the post results in a further increase in the dimensional stability of the hollow body.
  • the feet no longer have any parts that protrude beyond the outline of the posts and the side part, so that the mailbox system has a very pleasing appearance and any dirt corners disappear.
  • the base plate is arranged entirely in the interior of the post and that it is also at a certain distance from the end face of the post, so that the post with its surface is on the floor.
  • the side part can be easily folded away from the post by a certain angle in the manner of a hinged lid and then lifted out and just as easily hung again and folded up on the post.
  • the mailbox system 10 shown as a whole in FIG. 1 has a housing 11 which rests on a base frame 12. This has two column-like base feet, feet 13 and 14.
  • a so-called letter box block is arranged, which is formed by a number of individual letter boxes 16, a bell system 17, an intercom system 18 and a lighting system 19, the individual parts of which are partly screwed together and partly are riveted together to form a block, the letter box block 15.
  • the housing 11 is made of sheet steel parts which are welded together, so that the housing forms a self-supporting body which rests on the two feet 13 and 14 of the base frame 12 and is screwed to it.
  • the feet 13 and 14 in turn are firmly connected to the floor at the installation site of the mailbox system 10.
  • the feet 13 and 14 have a prismatic basic shape with the outline shape of an equilateral triangle, the edges of the prism being rounded off by circular cylinder sections.
  • the foot 13 is formed in two parts. It has a post 21 and a side part 22.
  • the post 21 is formed by a base body 23, a base plate 24 and a head plate 25.
  • the base body 23 is made from a flat sheet steel blank by bending.
  • the bottom plate 24 and the top plate 25 are each formed by a flat steel section. They have the same layout as each other.
  • the base plate 24 and the top plate 25 are welded to the base body 23 to the post 21.
  • the base body 23 is designed as an open hollow profile. As already explained, its outer surface corresponds to a section of the lateral surface of a regular three-sided prism, the edges of which are rounded off by circular cylinder sections.
  • the hollow profile has a larger opening 26 on one prism surface, which extends over the entire height of the base body 23. At the post 21, this opening 26 is covered on both sides except for a small gap by the side part 22, which has at least approximately the same height as the base body 23 and which thus complements the open hollow profile of the base body 23 to form a closed hollow profile.
  • a contact element 27 for the side part 22 at both edges of its opening 26 On the base body 23 there is a contact element 27 for the side part 22 at both edges of its opening 26.
  • These contact elements 27 are each formed by a Z-shaped angled edge section of the base body 23 with the two at least approximately at right angles to one another aligned two profile parts 28 and 29 formed.
  • the side part 22 likewise has an abutment element in the form of an L-shaped angled edge section or profile part 31 along its two side edges.
  • the height of the profile part 28 on the base body 23 is matched to the profile part 31 on the side part 26 such that when the profile part 31 is in contact with the profile part 29, the outer surface of the side part 22 is flush with the outer surface of the base body 23 remaining on both sides of the opening 26.
  • 22 holding elements are provided in the region of the upper and lower ends of the side part.
  • the holding elements are formed by two hinge joints 32 and 33 (FIG. 2), the hinge axis of which is aligned horizontally.
  • One hinge pin 34 or 35 is welded to one leg of an L-shaped angled guide tab 36 or 37, the other leg of which is welded to the inside of the adjacent profile part 29 of the base body 23.
  • a Z-shaped angled joint tab 38 instead of hinge eyes, the free-standing profile leg or profile part 39 of which is at a distance from the inside which is larger than the diameter of the hinge pin.
  • the profile part 41 oriented parallel thereto is welded to the inside of the side part 22.
  • the middle profile part 42 has such a height that the profile part 39 can be guided freely over the hinge pin 35 on the one hand and on the other hand there is only very little play between the hinge pin 35 and the hinge flap 38 when the side part 22 is folded up against the post 21.
  • a pivot bolt 43 is present as a holding element for the side part 22, which is coupled to the cylinder of a security lock 44, which in one Breakthrough of the side part 22 is used.
  • the pivot bolt 43 cooperates with a locking tab 45, which is welded as another holding element in the form of an L-shaped profile part on the underside of the head plate 25 (Fig. 3).
  • the hinge flap 38 has such a dimension in the transverse direction that only a slight play remains between its two end faces and the adjacent guide flaps 36 and 37, which ensures that the side part 22 is guided at least approximately in the middle of the opening 26 of the post 21 is.
  • this game is shown larger than it really is for the sake of clarity in the drawing.
  • This design of the holding elements allows the side part 22 to be swiveled out or out by a certain swivel angle about the hinge bolts 32 and 33 after the pivoting bolt 43 has been pivoted into the horizontal release position, and then the entire side part 22 with its articulated flap 38 from the two hinge bolts 32 and 33 are lifted off.
  • the side part 22 can then be put aside in order to carry out any work in the now open interior of the post 21.
  • This pivoting movement of the side part 22 is favored in that the profile parts 31 on the side part 22 are chamfered below the hinge joints 32 and 33 at a certain angle, whereby the side part 22 can be pivoted until the inclined surfaces of its profile parts 31 on the profile parts 29 of the base body 23.
  • This system avoids that the side part 22 can accidentally fold down completely and hit the ground with a certain force. This prevents the security lock 44 and also a paint applied to the outside of the side part 22 from being damaged.
  • the base plate 24 and the head plate 25 with the same surface area have a plan area which is matched to the clear interior of the base body 23 in such a way that the base plate 24 along two side edges just on the inside of the base body 23 abuts and maintains a certain distance from the inside of the base body 23, in particular in the areas of the rounded prism edges.
  • the base plate 24 In the region of the opening 26 of the base body 23, the base plate 24 just touches the inside of the profile parts 29.
  • the base plate 24 is arranged at a certain distance from the lower end face 46 of the base body 23 (FIG. 3).
  • the head plate 25 is arranged at a certain distance from the upper end face 47 of the base body 23.
  • the two end plates have, at least approximately in their center, a larger circular through hole 48, which is used to pass installation lines and the like.
  • a larger circular through hole 48 which is used to pass installation lines and the like.
  • These through holes 49 serve as a fastening element on the one hand to connect the foot 13 to the floor at the installation site of the mailbox system and on the other hand to connect the foot 13 to the housing 11 of the mailbox system.
  • the through holes 49 are therefore designed as push-through holes for fastening screws.
  • connection of the mailbox system to the floor can be done in different ways.
  • 5 and 6 are two different types of fastening, the feet shown in FIG. 5 are fastening types, the feet and the foot 13 are placed freely on the floor.
  • the side part 22 With the side part 22 removed, the position of the fastening holes 49 on the floor 31 is marked and then the mailbox system is set aside. Then the marked points, dowel holes drilled in the floor 51 and fastening dowels 52 inserted therein.
  • fastening screws 53 are inserted through the fastening holes 49 into the dowels 42 and screwed into them until the foot 13 in question is firmly seated on the floor 51.
  • an anchor plate 54 is firmly connected to the floor by means of floor anchors 55 at the installation site of the mailbox system in the vertical line of alignment of each foot.
  • the base plate 24 of the foot in question is firmly screwed to the anchor plate 54 by means of fastening screws 56 with the usual screw thread.
  • the anchor plate 54 has a threaded hole 57 in the alignment of the through holes 49 of the base plate 24. So that the threaded holes 57 do not fill with concrete when the floor anchors 55 are concreted in, protective caps 58 are arranged on the underside of the anchor plate 54. They are held in place during the concreting work using retaining screws, which are subsequently removed when the mailbox system is installed. In the meantime, these retaining screws ensure that the threaded holes 57 cannot be contaminated or damaged in any other way.
  • the anchor plate 54 is arranged on the floor in such a way that it is at least approximately flush with the floor covering 59 in its vicinity.
  • the top of the anchor plate 54 can also be lower than the top of the floor covering 59. It can also protrude slightly above the floor covering 59, within the distance between the underside of the base plate 24 and the lower end face of the foot 13.
  • the feet of the mailbox system can also be connected to the anchor plate 54 in such a way that 24 washers made of metal or another material are inserted between the anchor plate 54 and the base plate, and only then the mounting screws 56 are tightened .
  • the mailbox system can also be set within certain limits if, for example, the floor in the area of their feet should have settled differently and the feet would no longer stand evenly on the floor.
  • FIG. 7 shows a modified embodiment of a foot 61 for a mailbox system according to FIG. 1.
  • the foot 61 is also in two parts and has a post 62 and a side part 63.
  • the post 62 has a base body 64, which is also designed as an open hollow profile.
  • the outer surface of the base body 64 represents a section of a circular cylinder.
  • the outer surface of the side part 63 also represents a section of a circular cylinder surface with the same radius of curvature as the circular cylinder surface of the base body 64, so that here too the side part 63 the open hollow profile of the base body 64 to the closed hollow profile added.
  • the remaining parts of the foot 61 are at least essentially the same as the corresponding parts of the foot 13.
  • layout forms for the feet of the mailbox system are other layout forms, such as a square or a rectangle with or without rounded corners, regular or irregular oval shapes or long round shapes or regular or irregular polygons or mixed forms of these basic shapes.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates how easy it is to carry out assembly work in a mailbox system of the previously described embodiments, for example when the side part is removed from the base of post 21 and the opening 26 is exposed in its full size. Then in the interior of the post 21 both the fastening screws 56 are freely accessible, such as a connecting line 65 for an electrical installation, of which the supply line is laid in the floor in such a way that it can be pulled through the large through hole 48 in the center of the base plate 24 , with the anchor plate 54 naturally also having a through hole 66 at this point.
  • a connecting line 65 for an electrical installation of which the supply line is laid in the floor in such a way that it can be pulled through the large through hole 48 in the center of the base plate 24 , with the anchor plate 54 naturally also having a through hole 66 at this point.
