Definitions

  • the invention relates to a security device for a letterbox that is mounted in a part of a building, such as a door or the like, which security device comprises a closed cover, which can be placed into abutment with the outer side of the part of the building in which the letterbox is present, in such a manner that the cover surrounds the letterbox, whilst the device furthermore comprises fastening means by which the cover can be secured to a locking element present at the inner side of the opening of the letterbox.
  • At least one rod is connected to the inside of the cover, in such a manner that the rod can be passed through the opening of the letterbox upon fitting of the cover for protecting the letterbox, the length of said rod being such that, once the cover has been fitted, said rod projects into the interior of the building for being connected to the locking element which is present at the inner side of the opening and which extends over said opening.
  • an effective security device for a letterbox can be obtained, which can firmly abut against the outer side of the building, so that it will also be difficult to vandalize the security device from outside.
  • a door 1 is shown as an example of a part of a building, but it will be apparent that the letterbox may also be present in another part of a building, such as a window, a wall or the like. It is also possible to use the security device according to the invention, which will be described below, with letterboxes that are not mounted in a door.
  • a usual frame-like part 2 of a letterbox is fixed to the outer side of the door 1, in such a manner that the opening 3 enclosed by said frame-like part is aligned with an opening 4 formed in the door 1.
  • a flap 5 is furthermore pivotally connected to the frame-like part 2 by means of pivot pins 6.
  • the flap is shown in the open position thereof, in which position postal matter and the like can be delivered to the interior of the building in question through the letterbox in a usual manner via the openings 3 and 4 in the situation in which the security device is not fitted.
  • the security device comprises a cover 7, which is provided with a circumferential edge 8, wherein the dimension of the cover 7 comprising the circumferential edge 8 is such that the circumferential edge 8 can be positioned around the frame-like part 2 of the letterbox with its free end, into abutment with the door 1 or the part of the building in which the letterbox is present.
  • the closed cover 7 thus closes off the opening 3 of the letterbox.
  • the inner side of the cover are at least two projections 9, or a strip 9 extending in the longitudinal direction of the cover, for example, in which threaded bores are formed. Stud bolts 10 are screwed into said threaded bores in the projection(s) or strip 9, the length of said stud bolts 10 being such that the stud bolts forming the fastening means in question extend into the interior of the building through the aforesaid openings 3 and 4 in the position in which the cover 7 abuts against a door or the like part of a building in a position surrounding the letterbox.
  • a locking plate 11 provided with holes corresponding to the stud bolts 10 is moved over the stud bolts extending into the building.
  • the dimensions of the locking plate 11 are such that the locking plate can be supported over at least part of its circumference on parts of the door 1 or the like surrounding the opening 4.
  • the door 1 or the like is clamped between the locking plate 11 and the cover 7 by means of butterfly nuts 12 or the like, which are screwed onto the stud bolts 10, as is shown in the Figure.
