Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a mailbox, particularly a mailbox with a thin thickness (depth dimension).

[Background technology]

For front-loading and front-out type mailboxes that can be attached to walls, fences, and gates, the thickness (depth dimension) of the mailbox body must be as thin as possible so as not to obstruct traffic. Also, for the same reason, the outlet cover 7 attached to the outlet 4 of the mailbox is not of the type that is opened and closed by pulling it toward you as shown in FIG. A type that can be opened and closed by sliding is preferred. However, the second
In the case of the mailbox shown in the figure, since the takeout port 4 is formed only on the front plate 2 of the mailbox main body 1, the opening area of the takeout port 4 is small. It has the disadvantage that it is difficult to extract from it.
Therefore, mailboxes such as those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are provided as mailboxes from which the mail A can be easily taken out. That is, in the case shown in FIG. 3, an outlet 4 is opened from the lower part of the front plate 2 of the mailbox main body 1 to the front part of the bottom plate 3, and the outlet cover 7 is slidable up and down into the outlet 4. It is installed. However, in this case, there was a problem in that the mailed item A got caught on the upper surface of the lid bottom plate 6 of the outlet cover 7, and the outlet cover 7 could not be raised.

[Object of the present invention]

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a mailbox that allows easy removal of mailed items and does not prevent the user from becoming unable to open the removal port cover. It is.

[Disclosure of the invention]

That is, the present invention provides the front plate 2 of the mailbox main body 1.
An outlet 4 is opened from the lower part to the front part of the bottom plate 3, and an outlet lid 7 formed by extending the lid bottom plate 6 backward from the lower end of the lid front plate 5 can be slid vertically into the outlet 4. At the same time as mounting, the lid bottom plate 6 of the outlet lid 7 is positioned above the bottom plate 3 of the main body 1, and the upper surface is inclined upward to the rear side on the back side of the lid front plate 5 at the upper position of the lid bottom plate 6 of the outlet lid 7. The above object has been achieved by a mailbox characterized by having guide ribs 8 protruding from the mailbox.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the mailbox main body 1 is formed with a thin thickness (depth dimension).
An outlet 4 is formed extending from the lower part of the front plate 2 of the main body 1 to the front part of the bottom plate 3. 9 in the figure is the input port,
10 is an input pallet. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the outlet lid 7 is formed by extending a lid bottom plate 6 backward from the lower end of the lid front plate 5, and slide pieces 11, 11 are provided on both sides of the lid front plate 5. It protrudes towards the back. 12 in the figure is a nameplate fitting part into which the nameplate plate 13 is fitted. The outlet cover 7 is attached to the outlet 4 of the main body 1 so that its slide piece 11 is slidably fitted to the opening edge of the outlet 4 so that it can be slid up and down. Here, the lid front plate 5 of the outlet lid 7 is located on the back side of the front plate 2 of the main body 1, and the lid bottom plate 6 is located on the back side of the front plate 2 of the main body 1.
It is located on the upper surface side of the bottom plate 3 of the main body 1, and drains water during rain to prevent rainwater from entering the main body 1. As shown in FIG. 7, on the rear surface of the lid front plate 5 of the outlet lid 7, a plurality of guide ribs 8 are integrally provided at a position above the lid bottom plate 6 and whose upper surfaces are inclined downwardly toward the rear side. The protruding dimension of this guide rib 8 is formed to be approximately equal to or longer than the length of the lid bottom plate 6, and the protruding position on the lid front plate 5 is on the back side of the name plate fitting part 12, so that the ejection port lid 7 is Even when the guide ribs 8 are made of a light-transparent or semi-transparent synthetic resin, the guide ribs 8 are hidden behind the non-transparent name plate 13 and cannot be seen from the outside, so that the aesthetic appearance is not impaired.

As shown in FIG. 8, the mailbox A deposited into the main body 1 from the input port 9 hits the inclined surface 155 of the guide rib 8 at its lower part and slides onto the bottom plate 3.
The outlet cover 7 can be opened upward without any hindrance without getting on the upper surface of the lid bottom plate 6 of the outlet cover 7. Furthermore, when the outlet cover 7 is opened, the outlet 4 is opened from the lower part of the front plate 2 of the main body 1 to the front part of the bottom plate 3, so the opening area is large and the mailed item A can be easily taken out. It is.

In the above embodiment, the guide rib 8 is formed integrally with the outlet cover 7, but as shown in FIG. Also good.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention opens the outlet from the lower part of the front plate of the mailbox main body to the front part of the bottom plate,
The outlet cover, which is formed by extending the cover bottom plate backward from the lower end of the cover front plate, is attached to the outlet so as to be able to slide up and down, and the cover bottom plate of the outlet cover is positioned above the bottom plate of the main body. A guide rib whose upper surface slopes downward toward the rear surface is protruded from the back of the lid front plate at a position above the lid bottom plate, so that the opening area of the removal port is increased and mailed items can be easily removed from the port. Of course, mailed items that have been placed inside the main body will hit the guide ribs and fall to the rear of the main body, and instead of getting caught on the top surface of the bottom plate of the ejection port cover as in the past, can be opened without any problem.
