Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne les boites à lettres en général , et plus particulièrement celles destinées aux administrations telles que les P & T, le Trésor Public, ainsi qu'aux banques, Caisses d'Epargne, auprès desquelles les courriers déposés peuvent contenir des documents importants et confidentiels, ainsi que des titres, des bons d'emprunt ou des chèques. The present invention relates to mailboxes in general, and more particularly those intended for administrations such as P & T, the Treasury, as well as banks, Caisses d'Epargne, with which letters deposited may contain important documents and confidential, as well as titles, loan certificates or checks.
Les dispositifs, jusqu'ici connus, consistent uniquement en des systèmes de volet'abattant équipant les entrées de boites à lettres se refermant par leur propre poids par basculement autour d'un axe de tête horizontal ou sous l'action d'un ressort de rappel, de façon à constituer une sorte de clapet. Ces dispositifs constituent davantage une protection contre les infiltrations d'eau de pluie, plutôt qu'une sécurité contre le vol. I1 est en effet possible de glisser, par l'ouverture d'accès à la boite, le volet en position ouvert, toute tige, crochet ou autre moyen de préhension muni de pinces ou de matière adhésive, permettant l'extraction des plis ou documents déposés. The devices, hitherto known, consist only of flap shutter systems equipping the letterbox entrances which close by their own weight by tilting around a horizontal head axis or under the action of a spring. reminder, so as to constitute a kind of valve. These devices are more a protection against rainwater infiltration, rather than a security against theft. It is indeed possible to slide, through the access opening to the box, the flap in the open position, any rod, hook or other gripping means provided with pliers or adhesive material, allowing the extraction of folds or documents filed.
Le dispositif, suivant l'invention, a pour but d'éviter ute violation du contenu d'une boite à lettres, le volume de celle-ci étant rendu inaccessible de l'extérieur au moment de l'ouverture du volet battant pour l'introduction d'un quelconque moyen d'extraction. The device according to the invention aims to avoid any violation of the contents of a mailbox, the volume of the latter being made inaccessible from the outside when the shutter is opened for the introduction of any means of extraction.
Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, est constitué d'un sas de communication entre une plaque d'entrée de lettres situé en partie haute et un orifice de distribution situé en partie basse, la hauteur du sas étant déterminée pour recevoir la plus grande dimension du plus grand format de lettre courant La plaque d'entrée supérieure est destinée selon une pratique connue, à être incorporée dans la structure d'un mur ou d'une porte du local ; elle est équipée d'un couvercle rabattable coiffant d'une façon relativement étanche l'orifice supérieur d'introduction des lettres.L'orifice de distribution inférieur du sas est équipé d'un clapet d'obturation basculant autour d'un axe horizontal : la manoeuvre de basculement de ce clapet est commandée par l'ouverture et la fermeture du couvercle supérieur entrainant respectivement la fermeture et l'ouverture du dit clapet, tout document ainsi introduit dans le sas ne pouvant accéder à la boite à lettres proprement dite dans laquelle débite le sas, qu'après fermeture complète du couvercle. La liaison entre le couvercle et le clapet s'effectue de part et d'autre du sas au moyen de chaines, de câbles ou de tringlerie placés dans deux conduits ou gaines annexés latéralement à la structure du sas, de façon à ne pas interférer dans leur translation avec les documents introduits dans le sas. The device, object of the invention, consists of an airlock between a letter entry plate located in the upper part and a distribution orifice located in the lower part, the height of the airlock being determined to receive the largest dimension of the largest standard letter format The upper entry plate is intended according to known practice, to be incorporated into the structure of a wall or door of the room; it is fitted with a hinged cover which covers the upper opening for introducing letters in a relatively leak-tight manner. The lower distribution opening in the airlock is fitted with a shutter valve tilting around a horizontal axis: the tilting operation of this valve is controlled by the opening and closing of the upper cover respectively causing the closing and opening of said valve, any document thus introduced into the airlock can not access the mailbox itself in which debit the airlock, only after complete closing of the cover. The connection between the cover and the valve is made on either side of the airlock by means of chains, cables or linkage placed in two conduits or sheaths laterally annexed to the structure of the airlock, so as not to interfere in their translation with the documents introduced into the airlock.
Les dessins annexés illustrent, à titre d'exemple, un mode de réalisation du dispositif conforme à la présente invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate, by way of example, an embodiment of the device according to the present invention.
Dans ceux-ci - la figure 1, représente une vue en élévation du dispositif, le couvercle en position relevée, - la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe transversale du dispositif, le couvercle en position rabattue.In these - Figure 1 shows an elevational view of the device, the cover in the raised position, - Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the device, the cover in the folded position.
Tel qu'il est représenté, le dispositif est constitué d'un sas 1 ou caisson plat de section droite rectangulaire aplatie de longueur supérieure à celle du plus grand format de lettre normalisé et d'épaisseur suffisante pour admettre le dit format, la hauteur du sas étant déterminée pour recevoir la plus grande dimension de ce format, le temps d'immobilisation de la lettre dans le sas. L'orifice d'introduction situé à la partie supérieure du sas est ceinturé par une plaque d'entrée 2, la liaison entre le sas et la dite plaque étant assurée au moyen de deux axes d'articulation horizontaux 3 permettant toutes positions relatives angulaires du sas et de la plaque. Cette dernière peut s'incorporer à la structure d'un mur ou d'une porte.Sur cette plaque est monté un couvercle 4 basculant autour d'axes horizontaux 5 et venant à recouvrement de l'orifice d'introduction du sas en position fermée. L'orifice de distribution situé à la partie inférieure du sas est équipé d'un clapet d'obturation 6 basculant autour de deux axes horizontaux 7. Le basculement de ce clapet est étroitement lié à celui du couvercle 4 ; la liaison entre les deux éléments s'effectuent à l'aide de chaines 8 ou de câbles ou de tringleries logées dans deux conduits, ou gaines 9 annexés latéralement à la structure du sas, cette disposition évitant toute interférence des dits moyens de liaison avec les documents introduits dans le sas, au cours de leur translation dans la manoeuvre du couvercle. Ainsi, le relevage du couvercle 4 et sa fermeture entrainent respectivement la fermeture et l'ouverture du clapet 6, le document introduit séjournant dans le sas tant que le couvercle n'a pas été rabattu. Ce di-spositif élimine toute possibilité d'accès à la boite à lettres proprement dite dans laquelle débite le sas pour violation de son contenu à l'aide d'un quelconque moyen d'extraction. As shown, the device consists of an airlock 1 or flat box of flattened rectangular cross section of length greater than that of the largest standard letter format and of sufficient thickness to admit said format, the height of the airlock being determined to receive the largest dimension of this format, the time of immobilization of the letter in the airlock. The introduction orifice located at the upper part of the airlock is surrounded by an entry plate 2, the connection between the airlock and said plate being ensured by means of two horizontal articulation axes 3 allowing all the angular relative positions of the airlock and plate. The latter can be incorporated into the structure of a wall or a door. On this plate is mounted a cover 4 tilting around horizontal axes 5 and overlapping the airlock introduction orifice in the closed position. . The dispensing orifice located at the lower part of the airlock is fitted with a shutter valve 6 rocking around two horizontal axes 7. The tilting of this valve is closely linked to that of the cover 4; the connection between the two elements is carried out using chains 8 or cables or linkages housed in two conduits, or sheaths 9 laterally annexed to the structure of the airlock, this arrangement avoiding any interference of said means of connection with the documents introduced into the airlock, during their translation in the operation of the cover. Thus, the raising of the cover 4 and its closing respectively cause the closure and the opening of the valve 6, the document introduced staying in the airlock as long as the cover has not been folded down. This di-spositif eliminates any possibility of access to the letterbox proper in which the airlock debits for violation of its content using any means of extraction.
L'invention ne se limite aucunement au mode de réalisation ci-dessus décrit, elle admet toutes les variantes possibles à condition que celles-ci ne soient pas en contradiction avec l'objet de chacune des revendications annexées à la présente description. The invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described above, it admits all possible variants provided that these are not in contradiction with the subject of each of the claims annexed to this description.
Le dispositif, objet de l'invention, peut être utilisé pour toutes les boites à lettres et plus particulièrement pour celles équipant les administrations telles que les P & T, le
Trésor Public ou les établissements bancaires. The device, object of the invention, can be used for all mailboxes and more particularly for those equipping administrations such as P & T,
Treasury or banking establishments.
