Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ビルディングや集合住宅、或いは一般家屋などに設置される郵便受け箱に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、横長直方形状の郵便受け箱においては、前面上部に郵便などの配達物が投入される投入口が開口され、この投入口の下方、若しくは郵便受け箱の後面に配達物を取り出すための取り出し口を設けているのが通常である。
【0003】
そして取り出し口は、ダイヤル錠などの施錠装置を備えた蓋体によって閉止したり、或いは取り出し口を設けた後面を屋内方向に配するなどにより、取り出し口からの配達物の盗難を防止するように処置されていたのである。
【0004】
しかしながら、投入口は近来の配達物の多様化、肉厚化、大型化に伴って広口化されているにも拘らず、何ら格別の盗難防止処置を講じることがなかったために、現状では広口化された投入口から手を差し入れることによって、簡単に配達物を盗み出すことができる状態となっているのである。
【0005】
そこで、従来では投入口の内側に上方から盗難防止板を垂下したり、或いは投入口の下縁内側に盗難防止板を張設するなどによって、投入口から手が差し入れられなくしたり、また、手が差し入れられても配達物には手が届かないような処置を講じていたものが見受けられたが、このような盗難防止処置を講じたことにより、投入口内側の盗難防止板に厚手、若しくは大型の配達物が引っ掛かって郵便受け箱に完全に収納できないという不都合の生じるおそれを有するものであった(図4の状態)。
【0006】
このように大型の配達物が盗難防止板に引っ掛かって郵便受け箱に完全に収納できない場合、大型の配達物自体が盗まれるおそれがあるばかりでなく、盗難防止板に引っ掛かった大型の配達物によって他の配達物の投入ができない事態が生じ、また、大型の配達物の投入後に葉書や封書のような薄手の配達物が投入された場合には、後から投入された配達物が大型の配達物の上面に重なること(図5の状態)があり、大型の配達物と共に投入口から簡単に盗み出されてしまうことがあった。
【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
解決しようとする問題点は、従来の郵便受け箱においては投入口の内側に盗難防止板を設けたことによって、厚手、若しくは大型の配達物の引っ掛かりを生じ、かえって大型の配達物の盗難は勿論のこと、葉書や封書のような薄手の盗難をも助長するおそれを多分に有することである。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の基本とするところは、本体の前面上部に投入口を開口し、この投入口の下方に、投入口とは独立して葉書や封書のような薄手の配達物が投入されるスリットを開口したことにある。
【0009】
また、スリットとしては直線的なものに限らず、曲線的なものやこれらの組み合わせであってもよい。
【0010】
【作用】
而して、本発明の郵便受け箱は、従来の郵便受け箱と同様に設置されるものであって、通常の郵便などの配達物、或いは大型の配達物は投入口から投入されるが、大型の配達物によって投入口が閉塞されるような事態が生じた場合には、葉書や封書のような薄手の配達物は投入口の下方に独立して設けられたスリットから投入されるのである(図6の状態)。
【0011】
この際スリットは、横方向に直線的に配されているもの(図1、3)より、斜状や曲線的(図2、7)に配されているものの方が、薄手の配達物の大型のものが投入できるのであり、直線や曲線などの組み合わせによってはデザイン化されたものを得ることができる。
【0012】
【実施例】
以下図面に基づいて本発明の実施例を説明すると、1は横長直方体を呈する本体で、前面上方に揺動自在の蓋体2を設けた投入口3を開口し、投入口3の下縁内側には盗難防止板4を張設している。5は本体1の後面に設けた取り出し口で、ダイヤル錠などの施錠装置6を備えた蓋体7によって開閉自在となっている。
【0013】
Aは投入口3の内側の盗難防止板4に引っ掛かってしまう厚手、若しくは大型の配達物である。
【0014】
8は本体1の前面上方に開口した投入口3の下方に、投入口とは独立して開口したスリットで、葉書や封書のような薄手の配達物Bが投入される程度の幅で開口されている。
そして、このスリット8は、図1、3に示すように直線的に配した場合に比して、斜状に配したり、或いは曲線的に配した方(図2、7)が長く形成でき、薄手の配達物Bのなかでも大型のものの投入が可能となる。
【0015】
図面の実施例では、主として本体1の後面に配達物を取り出すための取り出し口5を設けたものを示して説明しているが、蓋体7を開閉自在に備えた取り出し口5を本体1の前面に設けることもあり(図2の状態)、この場合、投入口3とスリット8の双方が蓋体7に開口される構成や投入口3が蓋体7とは別個に開口され、スリット8のみが蓋体7に開口される構成もある。
【0016】
また図面の実施例では、投入口3の下縁内側に盗難防止板4を張設したものとしているが、これ以外の盗難防止板を取り付けた構造であってもよいことは当然である。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記のように投入口の下方に投入口とは独立してスリットを開口したことから、投入口から投入された大型の配達物が例えば投入口の下縁内側に張設した盗難防止板に引っ掛かり、他の配達物の投入ができない事態が生じた場合にも、葉書や封書のような薄手の配達物は、なんらの支障なくスリットからの投入ができるのであって、これらのスリットから投入された薄手の配達物は、盗難防止板や盗難防止板に引っ掛かった大型の配達物に保護され盗難に遭うおそれはないのである。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mailbox that is installed in a building, an apartment house, or a general house.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, in a horizontally-long rectangular mailbox, there is an opening at the top of the front where a delivery item such as mail is inserted, and an outlet for taking out the delivery item is provided below this insertion port or on the rear side of the mailbox. It is usually provided.
[0003]
The delivery port is closed by a lid provided with a locking device such as a dial lock, or the rear surface provided with the removal port is arranged indoors to prevent the delivery goods from being stolen from the delivery port. It was being treated.
[0004]
However, despite the fact that the entrances have become wider due to the diversification, thickening, and upsizing of recent deliverables, no special anti-theft measures have been taken. By inserting a hand through the inserted slot, the delivery item can be easily stolen.
[0005]
Therefore, conventionally, the anti-theft plate is suspended from above the inside of the insertion port, or the anti-theft plate is stretched inside the lower edge of the insertion port. Although some measures have been taken to prevent delivery from reaching even if the item is inserted, the anti-theft plate inside the slot can be thickened by taking such anti-theft measures, or There was a risk of inconvenience that a large delivery was caught and could not be completely stored in the mailbox (state of FIG. 4).
[0006]
In this way, if a large delivery item is caught on the anti-theft plate and cannot be completely stored in the mailbox, the large delivery item itself may be stolen, as well as others due to the large delivery item caught on the anti-theft plate. If there is a situation where it is not possible to input the delivery item, and if a thin delivery item such as a postcard or a sealed letter is inserted after the large delivery item, 5 (the state shown in FIG. 5), and it may be easily stolen from a slot with a large delivery item.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The problem to be solved is that, in the conventional mailbox, the anti-theft plate is provided inside the insertion slot, which causes a thick or large delivery object to be caught. In other words, it has a high possibility of promoting a thin theft such as a postcard or a sealed letter.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The basic point of the present invention is that an opening is opened at the upper front of the main body, and a slit into which a thin delivery item such as a postcard or a sealed letter is inserted is provided below the insertion slot. It is in opening.
[0009]
Further, the slit is not limited to a linear one, but may be a curved one or a combination thereof.
[0010]
[Action]
Thus, the mailbox according to the present invention is installed in the same manner as a conventional mailbox, and a delivery item such as a normal mail or a large delivery item is input from an input port. When a situation occurs in which the input port is blocked by a delivery item, a thin delivery item such as a postcard or a sealed letter is input from a slit provided independently below the input port (see FIG. 6 state).
[0011]
In this case, the slits are arranged in a slanted or curvilinear manner (Figs. 2 and 7) rather than those arranged linearly in the lateral direction (Figs. 1 and 3). Can be put in, and depending on the combination of straight lines and curves, a designed one can be obtained.
[0012]
【Example】
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body having a horizontally long rectangular parallelepiped, which has an opening 3 provided with a swingable lid 2 above the front surface, The anti-theft plate 4 is stretched . Reference numeral 5 denotes a take-out port provided on the rear surface of the main body 1, which can be freely opened and closed by a lid body 7 provided with a locking device 6 such as a dial lock.
[0013]
A is a thick or large-sized delivery object that is caught by the anti-theft plate 4 inside the insertion port 3.
[0014]
Reference numeral 8 denotes a slit that is opened independently of the insertion port below the insertion port 3 that opens above the front surface of the main body 1 and is wide enough to allow a thin delivery item B such as a postcard or a sealed letter to be inserted. ing.
In addition, the slits 8 can be formed longer in a slanted or curved manner (FIGS. 2 and 7) than in the case where the slits 8 are linearly arranged as shown in FIGS. Of the thin delivery items B, large items can be introduced.
[0015]
In the embodiment of the drawings, the main body 1 is described mainly with a take-out port 5 for taking out a delivery product. However, the take-out port 5 provided with a lid 7 that can be opened and closed is provided. 2 may be provided on the front surface (the state shown in FIG. 2). In this case, both the insertion port 3 and the slit 8 are opened to the lid body 7 or the insertion port 3 is opened separately from the lid body 7. There is a configuration in which only the lid 7 is opened.
[0016]
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the anti-theft plate 4 is stretched on the inner side of the lower edge of the insertion port 3, but it is natural that a structure with an anti-theft plate other than this may be attached.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, since the slit is opened below the input port independently of the input port as described above, the anti-theft that a large delivery item input from the input port is stretched inside the lower edge of the input port, for example. Even if a situation occurs in which it is not possible to put other delivery items on the board , thin delivery items such as postcards and envelopes can be inserted through the slits without any trouble. The thrown thin delivery is protected by an anti-theft plate or a large delivery caught on the anti-theft plate and there is no risk of being stolen.
