Description

The present invention relates to an article receiving device used for collecting articles such as home delivery and mail.

Conventionally, an article receiving device has been used to receive articles such as home deliveries and mails, and is provided in each home or apartment. In the case of a detached house, the goods collection device is embedded in a gate pillar or fixed on a pillar installed on the ground, and in the case of an apartment house, several rows are arranged vertically and horizontally according to the number of residents. It is arranged over.

In recent years, the articles to be delivered have been diversified and increased in size, and the size of the input port of the article receiving device has been increased accordingly. Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when large articles and small articles loaded from the slot are stacked one above the other in the box body constituting the article receiving device, the size of the large articles is increased. By inserting a hand into the mouth, there is a risk that the article thrown into the box body (in the example of FIG. 8, the small article stacked above the large article) is stolen.

Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for suppressing the theft of input articles. In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the slot opened in the upper part of the front surface of the box body, the anti-theft measure for preventing the insertion of a hand from the slot, and the slot below the slot are independent of the slot. It is equipped with a slit that is opened and for inserting thin deliveries such as postcards and envelopes, and when a large deliverable is thrown into the slot, anti-theft measures prevent theft of the large deliverable. When a thin delivery is thrown into the slit, the theft of the thin delivery is suppressed by the anti-theft measure or the large delivery caught in the anti-theft measure.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-029214

However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since it is necessary to separately provide a slit for inserting a thin delivery such as a postcard or an envelope, there is a risk that the manufacturing cost will increase. Further, when the input port is blocked by a large-sized deliverable, it is difficult to insert a deliverable having a size larger than the slit.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an article receiving device capable of suppressing the theft of input articles with a simple configuration.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention presents a box body having an input port for loading an article, and an article having a size equal to or larger than a predetermined size among articles loaded into the box body from the input port. It is a support portion that supports the large article, and is formed so that articles other than the large article can be inserted into the box body from the insertion port while the large article is supported by the support portion. Provided is an article receiving device including a support portion (Invention 1).

According to the invention (Invention 1), when a large article is thrown into the box body, the large article is housed in the box body while being supported by the support portion. Further, when the other article is accommodated in the box body after the large article is accommodated, the other article is not supported by the support portion and the progress is not obstructed by the large article. It becomes possible to store it in the box body. As a result, even after the large article has been stored, other articles can be thrown into the box body from the loading port and can be stored without being stacked with the large article, so that the box body can be stored. It is possible to suppress the theft of the loaded articles due to the stacking of the loaded articles with a simple configuration.

In the above invention (Invention 1), the opening / closing member for opening / closing the box body is provided, and the support portion is a case where the large article is thrown in from the insertion port while the box body is closed by the opening / closing member. It is preferable that the box body is formed so as to support the large article and release the support state of the large article when the box body is opened by the opening / closing member while the large article is supported (Invention 2). ..

For example, when an article receiving device in which a large article is supported by a support portion is provided at a low position when viewed from the user, the box main body uses an opening / closing member when the user takes out the article contained in the article collecting device. Depending on the viewing angle of the user with respect to the article receiving device when the article is opened, the user may not be aware of the existence of the large article supported by the support portion, and as a result, the large article may be missed.

According to the present invention (Invention 2), the support state of the large article can be released by opening the box body by using the opening / closing member, so that the user can determine whether or not the large article is housed in the box body. This can be confirmed when the box body is opened using the opening / closing member. This makes it possible to prevent the user from failing to pick up a large article.

In the above invention (invention 2), it is preferable that the support portion is provided on the opening / closing member (invention 3).

According to the present invention (Invention 3), the support portion can be moved as the box body is opened and closed by the opening / closing member. Therefore, for example, when a large article is supported by the support portion, the box body is supported by the opening / closing member. By opening (that is, moving the support portion), the support state of the large article can be easily released.

In the above inventions (Inventions 1 to 3), an opening / closing member for opening and closing the box body is provided, and when a plurality of the support portions are provided, the first support portion among the plurality of support portions is provided on the box body. It is preferable that the second support portion of the plurality of support portions is provided on the opening / closing member (Invention 4).

According to the present invention (Invention 4), a large article can be stably supported by a plurality of support portions provided on the box body and the opening / closing member.

In the above inventions (Inventions 1 to 4), it is preferable that the support portion includes an insertion portion through which the other article can be inserted into the box body from the input port (Invention 5).

According to the invention (Invention 5), for example, even when a large article is supported by the support portion, other articles can be easily accommodated in the box body via the insertion portion.

In the above inventions (Inventions 1 to 5), an extending portion extending between the input port side of the large article supported by the supporting portion and the upper surface portion of the box body may be provided. Preferred (Invention 6).

According to the present invention (Invention 6), when a space is formed in the box body between the insertion port side of the large article supported by the support portion and the upper surface portion of the box body.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this embodiment is an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an article receiving device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the article receiving device. The article collection device according to the present embodiment is an device for collecting articles such as parcels (for example, packages delivered by a parcel delivery company, newspapers, advertising villas, circulation boards, etc.) and mail. As shown in FIG. 1, the box body 10 and the door 11 for opening and closing the box body 10 are provided.

The box body 10 is made of, for example, a metal (including an alloy such as aluminum or stainless steel), a hard plastic, or the like, and the front side is opened by bending and welding, for example, one or a plurality of plates. It is formed in the shape of a rectangular box.

The door 11 is provided so as to be rotatable in the horizontal direction on the front surface of the box body 10, and is attached to one end side of the box body 10 in the width direction (X direction in the drawing) by, for example, a hinge (not shown). The door 11 may be formed of, for example, the same material as the box body 10 or may be made of a different material. Further, the door 11 may be provided with a locking device (not shown) such as a dial lock, and the box body 10 may be opened and closed by unlocking / locking the locking device. The door 11 is an example of the "opening / closing member" of the present invention.

The door 11 includes a loading port 12 for loading articles, an opening / closing lid 13 for opening and closing the loading port 12 on the back side of the loading port 12, and a guide plate 14 provided at the lower end of the back side of the loading port 12. , Are provided. Each of the opening / closing lid 13 and the guide plate 14 may be made of the same material as the box body 10 or the door 11, or may be made of a different material.

The opening / closing lid 13 abuts on the upper surface of the guide plate 14 by its own weight or the urging force of a spring (not shown) to close the input port 12, or separates from the upper surface of the guide plate 14 against the urging force. It is attached so as to rotate about a rotation shaft provided on the inner side surface of the door 11 vertically above the guide plate 14 so as to open the insertion port 12.

The guide plate 14 is attached to the inner side surface of the door 11 at the upper end portion extending upward from the lower end on the back side of the insertion port 12 toward the inside of the box body 10 and the lower end on the back side of the insertion port 12. It has a lower end and a lower end.

Since the guide plate 14 is formed so that the upper end portion extends from the lower end of the insertion port 12 while inclining upward toward the inside of the box body 10, a hand can be put into the box body 10 from the insertion port 12. Alternatively, by inserting a tool, it is possible to prevent the article put into the box body 10 from being pulled out, which contributes to the prevention of theft of the article.

The guide plate 14 supports a large article G2 (shown in FIG. 3) which is an article having a size equal to or larger than a predetermined size among the articles inserted into the box body 10 from the loading port 12, and supports the large article G2. A small article G1 (shown in FIG. 3) other than the large article G2 can be inserted into the box body 10 from the input port 12 in this state. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of support pieces 14a for supporting the large article G2 are formed on both ends of the upper end portion of the guide plate 14 in the width direction.
