  • the Applicant offers a device allowing the collection of these objects in a single place for different authorized companies, grouped in the same building or group of buildings, so as to facilitate their lifted by the company responsible for their transportation.
  • Such a device must of course only allow the deposit of objects by the only authorized companies, ensure the confidentiality of the deposited objects and prove to be robust.
  • the present invention relates to a device for collecting messaging objects which meets these requirements.
  • this device consists of a fixed box comprising a lower compartment accessible by a front door provided with an opening control device and comprising above said lower compartment a volume closed frontally by a partition and at least one flap mounted on the partition, provided with an opening control device to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the openings for introducing messaging objects provided on the partition behind the or the flaps, the said messaging object introduction openings comprising a package introduction opening and at least one mail introduction opening and a tube introduction opening each extended by troughs located in said volume and tilted downward to guide mail and tubes to said lower compartment, said package introduction opening leading to a tray closed at the back by a hinged door pivoting about a horizontal axis and to be folded down on the tray for the introduction of packages.
  • the mail guide chute (s) open into at least one receptacle removably mounted in said lower compartment, the packages and the tubes falling into a free space in the lower compartment covered with a material intended to absorb their fall.
  • the device comprises at least two separate mail introduction openings, each extended by a mail guide chute, opening into an associated receptacle, located in said lower compartment.
  • the device has three mail introduction openings, including two horizontal rectangular openings arranged one under the other and a vertical rectangular opening located on the side, opposite the opening for the introduction of packages. and in a plane extending obliquely in front of a plane containing the two horizontal rectangular openings and three receptacles supplied respectively through mail guide troughs, by the three mail introduction openings.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention, consisting of a fixed box 1 comprising a lower compartment 2 accessible by a front door 3 provided with an opening control device 4.
  • the housing 1 has rounded corners 5 and on its two lateral sides 6 an external surface which is convex towards the outside.
  • the height of the box 1 is typically between 1.80 m and 2.20 m, its width between 1.40 m and 1.80 m and its depth between 0.70 m and 0.90 m, the height of the lower compartment 2 being between 1.10 m and 1.80 m.
  • the front door 3 opens by pivoting along the axis of a hinge 7 extending vertically along the side opposite to the side carrying the opening device 4 and the front door 3 is advantageously provided on its external face with a door formed by a frame 8 supporting a translucent plate.
  • the frame 8 is capable of pivoting on one of its sides when the front door 3 is open to receive a display panel not shown.
  • the housing 1 and the front door 3 are arranged so as to prohibit the removal or introduction of this display panel when the front door 3 is closed.
  • the housing 1 has externally three annular stiffening ribs 16, 17, 18 extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the housing 1, and more particularly, the lower compartment 2 is delimited in height by the ribs 16 and 17.
  • a front partition 10 on which is articulated two flaps 11 and 12, these flaps being provided with a common opening control device 13.
  • the partition 10 extends between the ribs 17 and 18.
  • the flaps 11 and 12 are articulated around vertical hinges 13 and 14 provided on their opposite edges and hide, in the folded position as shown in FIG. 1, openings for introducing messaging objects which will be described more precisely in reference to FIG. 2, which is a view similar to FIG. 1, the flaps 11 and 12 being shown in the open position.
  • the flaps 11 and 12 make it possible to prohibit access to the entry openings to unauthorized persons.
  • the partition 10 has openings for introducing messaging objects which preferably are arranged as shown in FIG. 2, that is to say going from left to right: a package introduction opening 19, one tube introduction opening 20, and three mail introduction openings 21, 22 and 23.
  • the tube introduction opening 20 is therefore located between the introduction opening 19 and the mail opening 21, 22 and 23.
  • these three mail introduction openings are two horizontal rectangular openings 21 and 22, arranged one under the other and a vertical rectangular opening 23 located on the right side of these openings 21 and 22, that is to say opposite to the package introduction opening 19.
  • the vertical rectangular opening 23 is cut in a plane 24 extending obliquely with an angle close to 45 °, in front of the plane 25 containing the openings 21 and 22.
  • the openings 21, 22 and 23 are allocated to particular categories of mail: thus the opening 21 can be attributed to a mail whose destination is local, the opening of introduction 22 can be attributed to a mail whose destination is more distant and the opening of introduction 23 is advantageously attributed to a courier whose delivery will be done under special conditions, for example the envelopes sent by registered mail.
  • the package introduction opening 19 leads to a horizontal plate 26, this plate 26 being closed at the rear by a hinged door 27, pivoting about a horizontal axis 28, the swing door 27 being folded down on the plate 26 during the introduction of the packages.
  • the opening for introducing tubes 20 is preferably oval, bordered laterally by two straight edges extending vertically 29, these straight edges 29 connecting at their ends on two semicircular portions 30, the concavity of which is oriented towards the interior.
  • the opening for the introduction of packages 19 has a width between 26 and 30 cm and a height between 38 and 42 cm
  • the opening for the introduction of tubes 20 a width between 8 and 12 cm and a height of between 16 and 20 cm
  • the rectangular mail introduction openings 21, 22 and 23 advantageously have a width between 12 and 16 cm and a length between 28 and 32 cm.
  • the housing 1 is advantageously produced by assembling two half-shells made of composite materials and the generally ovoid shape of the housing 1 makes it possible to obtain a very robust structure as well as good sealing of the internal volume of the housing vis-à-vis possible splashing of water, or even infiltration by the soil.
  • the housing 1 is made of composite materials with glass fibers cold agglomerated using self-extinguishing resins.
  • the thickness of the composite material constituting the housing 1 is typically of the order of 8 mm.
  • the box 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 is intended to be applied against a wall, but it is possible without departing from the scope of the present invention, to mount the box 1 at the top of a column anchored in the ground, for example .
  • the tube introduction opening 20 and the mail introduction openings 21, 22, 23 are each extended by troughs located in the volume extending inside the case. 1 above the lower compartment 2 and closed frontally by the aforementioned partition 10.
  • FIG. 3 is a very schematic view taken in section along the section line III-III of FIG. 2, we see two chutes 30 and 31, inclined downward to guide mail to the lower compartment 2.
  • At least one receptacle fed by the chute (s) opening onto the corresponding opening or openings for introducing mail this or these receptacles being preferably removably mounted in the compartment lower 2, while the packages and tubes fall into a free space in the lower compartment 2 covered by a material intended to absorb the fall.
  • the chutes 30 and 31 feed two receptacles 35 and 36 located side by side in FIG. 3, that is to say one behind the other in front view when the front door 3 is open to allow access to these receptacles 35 and 36.
  • the chutes 30 and 31 are arranged so as to ensure the confidentiality of the deposits made, that is to say prevent any unauthorized person from accessing the mail introduced into the chutes 30 and 31.
  • the chute 31 has a wall 32 extending obliquely downward and forward, that is to say in the direction of the lower free edge of the lower wall 33 of the chute 31, thus forming at level of the outlet plane of the chute 31 a narrowing preventing an individual from accessing with his hand the interior volume of the receptacle 35 from the mail introduction opening 22.
  • the chute 30, for its part, extends rectilinearly over a length sufficient to prevent an individual from accessing the interior volume of the receptacle 36.
  • the receptacles 35 and 36 are preferably mounted on a support capable of extending outside the lower compartment 2, when the front door 3 is open, as will be explained below.
  • a floor 98 whose contour is engaged in an annular housing provided in the lower stiffening rib 16, this floor supporting telescopic guide rails serving to guide a support structure for the receptacles 35 and 36 not shown.
  • FIG 4 is a view similar to Figure 3 taken along the section line IV-IV of Figure 2, we see a chute 40 extending downward the opening for the introduction of tubes 20.
  • the chute 40 for guiding the tubes has a section which is progressively reduced, from an inlet 20 of oval shape as previously mentioned to an outlet section 41 of a substantially circular shape.
  • the tangent planes lower 42 and upper 43 to the chute 40 make angles a and b respectively close to 50 ° and 38 °.
