Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a mailbox that is attached to a wall such as the entrance of a housing complex such as a condominium.

[Background Art] Conventionally, as shown in Fig. 9, a plurality of mailboxes have been installed on the entrance wall 1 of an apartment complex such as a condominium.
A' are installed in a continuous manner vertically, and these mailboxes A' usually have an input slot 5 at the upper end of the front part.
However, if the depth of the mailbox A' is small, when posting a relatively long piece of mail 6, the tip of the mailpiece 6 will not fit into the mailbox as shown in the figure.
There was a problem that it hit the rear of A′ and was difficult to throw in. For this reason, it is possible to increase the vertical width of the input slot 5, but if this is done, it is possible to insert a hand through the input slot 5 and take out the mail 6 inside, which increases the risk of theft. Ta.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a relatively easy-to-use mailbox that is installed vertically and continuously on the wall of the entrance of a condominium or other apartment complex. A mailbox that allows you to smoothly drop even long pieces of mail, thus ensuring security without increasing the vertical width of the slot as in the past, and with an easy-to-operate combination lock. The purpose is to provide the box.

[Disclosure of the invention] The mailbox of the present invention is a mailbox that is installed vertically and continuously on a wall surface 1, and has a mailbox main body 2.
There are upper chamfered parts 3 on both the upper and lower ends of the front surface of the
and a lower chamfered part 4, an input port 5 is formed in the upper chamfered part 3, and a combination lock 32 is attached to the lower chamfered part 4. With this configuration, the above object can be achieved. . In other words, when installed vertically continuously, the upper chamfered part 3 and the lower chamfered part 4 form a vertically continuous mail receiving box A.
A recess 7 for inserting the mail 6 can be formed in the front part of the holder.
The input port 5 of the upper chamfered part 3 is inserted diagonally from above.
Even if it is a relatively long piece of mail 6, the tip will not hit the rear surface of the receiving box body 2, making it possible to drop it smoothly.Moreover, the recess 7 makes it easy to operate the combination lock 32. It also makes it easier.

The present invention will be described below based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The receiving box body 1 has an integrated back plate 8
The upper and lower ends of side plates 11 are fixed to both sides of the top plate 9 and the bottom plate 10 with fixing screws 12 and fixing angles 13 to the bottom plate 9. The front and back width W ₁ of the side plate 11 is the same as that of the top plate 9 and the bottom plate 1.
0, and both upper and lower ends of the front part of the side plate ₁₁ are notched to form an upper chamfered part 3 and a lower chamfered part 4 at the upper and lower ends of the front part of the receiving box body 1, respectively. ing. The entire area of the upper chamfered part 3 of the receiving box body 1 is used as an input port 5 that opens obliquely upward, and the lower opening of the upper chamfered part 3 and the lower chamfered part 4 are used as an outlet 14. An input port cover 15 is pivotally supported at the upper end portions of both sides of the input port 5 by pivot pins 16. Further, the upper end of the input port cover 15 is bent rearward into an L-shaped cross section to extend a rising piece 17 that comes into contact with the back side of the diagonally downwardly bent front end of the top plate 9. A hanging piece 19 is formed by bending the lower end of the input port cover 15 rearward. A rising piece 17 is provided on the inner surface of the side plate 11 when opening and closing the input port cover 15.
An arcuate guide piece 18 is provided to guide the tip of the guide piece 18. An outlet cover 20 is hinged to the outlet 14 at the upper end portions of both sides with hinge pins 21. The upper end of the outlet cover 20 is bent rearward, and a rainwater intrusion prevention plate 23 is fixed to the rear side of this bent piece 22. The lower end of the outlet cover 20 is bent backward along the lower chamfered portion 4 to form a lock attachment piece 24, and the attachment hole 3 of this lock attachment piece 24 is bent backward along the lower chamfered portion 4.
A combination lock 32 is inserted into 1, fixed by a lock fixing metal fitting 33, and a lock receiving metal fitting 34 is attached to form a lock portion. The upper part of the lock attachment piece 24 of the outlet cover 20 is concavely bent rearward over the entire length in the width direction to form a nameplate attachment recess 25. A nameplate cover fixing angle 27 having a locking piece 26 extending outward from the tip of the side piece of the U-shaped portion is screwed to the nameplate mounting recess 25 using a bottom piece. A nameplate 28 is fitted into this nameplate cover fixing angle 27 and fixed with screws 29, and a nameplate cover 30 formed from a transparent material is fitted over it, and both upper and lower ends are secured to the locking pieces 2.
It is locked at 6. In order to mount a plurality of mailboxes A configured in this manner in a continuous manner vertically and horizontally on the wall surface 1 of the entrance of an apartment building, etc., as shown in FIG. 4, plugs 35 are driven into the wall surface 1 as shown in FIG. , insert the mounting screw 36 into the plug 35 through the through hole in the back plate 8 of the receiving box body 2 to attach it. In this case, mail pieces 6 are placed in the front part of the mail receiving box A, which is vertically continuous with the upper chamfered part 3 and the lower chamfered part 4.
A recess 7 for loading can be formed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, by using this recess 7, the mail piece 6 can be placed diagonally from above into the slot 5 of the upper chamfered part 3.
Even if the dial lock 32
operation becomes easier. As shown in FIG. 6, the mailbox A is attached to the side plate 11 continuously from side to side using connecting screws 37. Incidentally, the mail box A of the present invention may be attached alone to a pole 39 erected on the ground 38 as shown in FIG.

[Effects of the invention] In the present invention, an upper chamfered part and a lower chamfered part are formed at both upper and lower ends of the front face of the receiving box body, a combination lock is attached to the lower chamfered part, and a slot is installed in the upper chamfered part. Since it forms
When installed vertically and continuously on the entrance wall of an apartment complex such as a condominium, the upper and lower chamfers form a recess for inserting mail in the front of the vertically continuous mail receiving box. Therefore, by using this recess, mail can be placed diagonally from above into the input slot of the upper chamfer, and even if the mail is relatively long, the tip of the mail can be placed in the receiving box. The mailbox can be mailed smoothly without hitting the rear surface of the main body, and the recess serves as a space for operation, making it extremely easy to operate the combination lock.
