Don't be. If you forget that you have to slide and push down the front side of the door strongly to close the door, the door's spindle is located near the top edge of the door, so the lever acts to lock the locking member. There is a problem that a strong force is applied to the locking member to bend the supporting member or the support shaft is damaged.
In Patent Document 3, in order to keep the opened door open, after pulling the opened door to the near side, the door is once again turned in the opening direction, and then the door is slid inward of the box. Therefore, in either case of opening and closing, the operation is complicated, and when the door is closed, there are problems such as bending of the locking member and breakage of the support shaft similar to those of Patent Documents 1 and 2. Moreover, the thing of this literature has the problem that it takes time to attach the locking member of the box and to process the long hole of the door.
The thing of patent documents 4 and 5 requires the member of a complicated structure, and attachment is not easy.

次に、本発明の実施の形態について図面を用いながら説明する。
図１は本発明に係る郵便受けの一実施の形態の縦断面図、図２は図１のＸ−Ｘ線断面図、図３は図１の要部の作用を説明する拡大図である。 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an embodiment of a mailbox according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged view for explaining the operation of the main part of FIG.

図１において、１は郵便受けＰＢを構成する箱であり、一般的には薄金属板で作られている。箱１の正面上部に郵便物等の投入口２が設けられ、その投入口２には扉３が、その扉の上端部に設けられた水平の支軸４を箱１に回転自在に支持させることにより、上下回動して開閉自在に保持されている。投入口２から扉３を押して投入される郵便物等は、箱１の中に形成してある収容室５に収容される。   In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a box constituting the mailbox PB, which is generally made of a thin metal plate. An input port 2 for mail or the like is provided in the upper front portion of the box 1, and a door 3 is provided at the input port 2, and a horizontal support shaft 4 provided at the upper end of the door is rotatably supported by the box 1. Thus, it is held up and down by being pivoted up and down. Mail or the like that is inserted by pushing the door 3 from the insertion port 2 is accommodated in an accommodation chamber 5 formed in the box 1.

投入口２よりも下側に、収容室５から郵便物等を取り出すための取出口６が設けられている。取出口６は、箱１を形成する金属板の正面部分を矩形に開口するように切除し、その矩形の開口の辺縁のうち、下辺及び左右両側辺を、扉７の厚みに相当する幅をもって箱内側方向に屈曲して上方開口コ字状に連続する下壁６１ａと側壁６２ａを形成するとともに、さらに先端側部分を取出口６の中央側に屈曲して取出口６の開口面と平行な面に沿って上方開口コ字状に連続する下縁部６１ｂと左右両側において互いに対向して突出する突縁部６２ｂとを形成してある。そして、これらの下壁６１ａ、側壁６２ａ、下縁部６１ｂ、左右の突縁部６２ｂの間に、後述するように、閉められた扉７を収容する凹部が形成されている。   An outlet 6 for taking out mail and the like from the storage chamber 5 is provided below the insertion port 2. The take-out port 6 cuts out the front part of the metal plate forming the box 1 so as to open in a rectangular shape, and among the edges of the rectangular opening, the lower side and the left and right sides are the width corresponding to the thickness of the door 7. Are bent toward the inner side of the box to form a lower wall 61a and a side wall 62a that are continuous in an U-shaped upper opening, and the distal end portion is further bent toward the center of the outlet 6 to be parallel to the opening surface of the outlet 6 A lower edge portion 61b that continues in a U-shape along the upper surface and a protruding edge portion 62b that protrudes opposite to each other on the left and right sides are formed. And the recessed part which accommodates the closed door 7 is formed between these lower wall 61a, the side wall 62a, the lower edge part 61b, and the right and left projecting edge parts 62b so that it may mention later.

取出口６には、これを開閉する扉７が、取出口６の上端部付近における左右両側に設けた水平の支軸８により、その支軸を中心として上下回動自在に取り付けられている。   A door 7 that opens and closes the door 6 is attached to the outlet 6 so as to be pivotable up and down around the supporting shaft 8 by horizontal supporting shafts 8 provided on both the left and right sides in the vicinity of the upper end of the outlet 6.

扉７は、取出口６の凹部と相似形の金属板７０の上辺以外の３辺、すなわち、下辺及び左右両側辺を前記凹部の深さと等しい幅を持って背面側に直角に折り曲げてなる屈曲縁７１，７２を備えて、既存の扉と同一形状に形成されているほか、本発明により、金属板の上辺をさらに箱１の内側斜め上方に延長（７３）し、その延長端部においてほぼ真っ直ぐ上方に折り曲げ、かつ、折り返して、被係止部７４が形成されている。扉７の左右両側の屈曲縁７２間の距離は、取出口６の左右両側の側壁６２ａ間の距離よりもごくわずかに小さい。   The door 7 is formed by bending three sides other than the upper side of the metal plate 70 having a shape similar to the concave portion of the outlet 6, that is, the lower side and the left and right side sides with a width equal to the depth of the concave portion at a right angle to the back side. In addition to being formed in the same shape as the existing door with the edges 71, 72, according to the present invention, the upper side of the metal plate is further extended (73) obliquely upward on the inner side of the box 1, and substantially at the extended end thereof. The locked portion 74 is formed by being bent straight up and folded back. The distance between the bent edges 72 on the left and right sides of the door 7 is slightly smaller than the distance between the side walls 62a on the left and right sides of the outlet 6.

扉７の正面の幅方向中央の下部に、取手９が取り付けられている。この取手は、空締まり錠を備えたもの、又は鍵により本締まりが可能な錠を備えたもののいずれでもよい。   A handle 9 is attached to the lower portion of the front side of the door 7 in the width direction. This handle may be either one provided with an empty lock or one provided with a lock that can be fully tightened with a key.

取出口６を形成する前記左右の側壁６２のうち、少なくとも一方の側壁６２の裏面に、係止部材１０が取り付けられている。係止部材１０は、一例として図３に詳細に示されているように、側壁６２の裏面に当接して固着される固定部１０ａと、その固定部から箱内側の斜め上方に延びる持ち出し部１０ｂと、その持ち出し部の先端に形成された係止部１０ｃとを一体に有している。持ち出し部１０ｂと係止部１０ｃは、亀頭を中央縦線に沿って二分したものの一方のような形状を有しており、係止部１０ｃは上端部に傾斜面１０ｃ１を有し、その傾斜面の下端部に連続する丸みを帯びた顎部１０ｃ２を有している。係止部材１０は、例えばＡＢＳ等の弾性樹脂材料で成形されている。   The locking member 10 is attached to the back surface of at least one of the left and right side walls 62 that form the outlet 6. As shown in detail in FIG. 3 as an example, the locking member 10 includes a fixed portion 10a that is fixed in contact with the back surface of the side wall 62, and a take-out portion 10b that extends obliquely upward inside the box from the fixed portion. And a locking portion 10c formed at the tip of the take-out portion. The take-out portion 10b and the locking portion 10c have a shape like one of the glans divided into two along the central vertical line. The locking portion 10c has an inclined surface 10c1 at the upper end, and the inclined surface. And a rounded jaw portion 10c2 that is continuous with the lower end portion. The locking member 10 is formed of an elastic resin material such as ABS, for example.

そして、係止部材１０は、扉７を所定角度まで開けたときに、扉７の被係止部７４が係止部材１０の係止部１０ｃの傾斜面１０ｃ１に当接し、その傾斜面を滑りながら押して係止部１０ｃを弾性変位させ、傾斜面１０ｃ１の下端部から顎部１０ｃ２下の凹み１０ｃ３に嵌合し、持ち出し部１０ｂと係止部１０ｃの復元力により、扉７から手を離しても、被係止部７４が係止部１０ｃに嵌合した状態で保持されるような所定の位置に、ボルトナットその他の固着具１１により取り付けられている。１０ｄは固着された係止部材１０の固着具１１を中心とする回転防止のための突起であり、突縁部６２ｂに設けた孔に嵌入させてある。   When the locking member 10 opens the door 7 to a predetermined angle, the locked portion 74 of the door 7 abuts on the inclined surface 10c1 of the locking portion 10c of the locking member 10, and the inclined surface slides. While pushing, the locking portion 10c is elastically displaced, fitted into the recess 10c3 below the jaw portion 10c2 from the lower end of the inclined surface 10c1, and the hand is released from the door 7 by the restoring force of the take-out portion 10b and the locking portion 10c. Also, it is attached by a bolt nut or other fixing tool 11 at a predetermined position where the locked portion 74 is held in a state of being fitted to the locking portion 10c. Reference numeral 10d denotes a protrusion for preventing rotation around the fixing member 11 of the fixed locking member 10, which is fitted into a hole provided in the protruding edge portion 62b.

係止部材１０は、取出口６の一方の側壁６２ａ又は左右二つの側壁６２ａに取り付けられるので、被係止部７４は、扉７の正面金属板の左右両側端部においてのみ上方に延長して、その延長部分により形成しても良いが、正面金属板の全幅に渡って上方に延長して被係止部を形成する場合は、金属板の加工工数が少ない、扉の強度が増大される、閉扉状態において扉の上端部と取出口の上辺との間からの雨水漏れが有効に防止される、等の利点がある。さらに、扉の上方延長部分の上端部を折り返して被係止部７４を形成した場合は、所要の強度が確保されるほか、係止部材の係止部１０ｃに対する摩擦が過大になって扉を閉める時に被係止部が顎部から円滑に外れないために扉の金属板の延長部（７３）が屈曲変形されることを防止することができる。   Since the locking member 10 is attached to one side wall 62a or the left and right side walls 62a of the outlet 6, the locked portion 74 extends upward only at the left and right side ends of the front metal plate of the door 7. Although it may be formed by the extended portion, when the locked portion is formed by extending upward over the entire width of the front metal plate, the number of processing steps of the metal plate is small, and the strength of the door is increased. In the closed state, there is an advantage that rainwater leakage from between the upper end of the door and the upper side of the outlet is effectively prevented. Furthermore, when the upper end portion of the upper extension portion of the door is folded back to form the locked portion 74, the required strength is ensured and the friction of the locking member with respect to the locking portion 10c becomes excessive, and the door is It is possible to prevent the extended portion (73) of the metal plate of the door from being bent and deformed because the locked portion is not smoothly detached from the jaw when closing.

上記構成による作用を説明する。この郵便受けの収容室５から郵便物を取り出すときは、解錠状態の取手９を把持して、扉７を図３に円弧Ｓ１で示すように所定角度まで開けると、被係止部７４が図３に示す円弧Ｓ２に沿って回動され、その間に、被係止部７４は係止部材１０の係止部１０ｃの傾斜面１０ｃ１に当接し、てこの作用により被係止部は傾斜面に大きな力を加えながら傾斜面１０ｃ１上を滑る。これにより、係止部材の持ち出し部及び係止部が図３に実線で示されている位置から一点鎖線で示されている位置まで弾性変形して下がる。そして、被係止部７４の先端が係止部１０ｃの傾斜面１０ｃ１の下端部から顎部１０ｃ２を越えて、凹み１０Ｃ３に嵌合する。従って、開けた扉７から手を離しても、扉７は開放位置に保持される。従って、郵便物等を取り出す人が、片手に手荷物などを持っていても、もう一方の片手で扉を開けて開放位置に保持し、その一方の手で収容室内から郵便物を取り出すことができる。そして、郵便物等の取り出しを終了した後は、扉７を下方に回動すると、被係止部１０ｃが係止部材１０を弾性変形させて顎部１０ｃ２から外れるため、その後は、扉７が自重で下方に回動し、取出口６の凹部に収容して取出口を閉める。   The operation of the above configuration will be described. When taking out the mail from the mailbox receiving chamber 5, the unlocked handle 9 is held and the door 7 is opened to a predetermined angle as shown by the arc S1 in FIG. 3 is rotated along the arc S2 shown in FIG. 3, during which the locked portion 74 abuts on the inclined surface 10c1 of the locking portion 10c of the locking member 10, and the locked portion is brought into the inclined surface by the action of the lever.
