Description

Mailbox {POST BOX}

The present invention relates to a mailbox, and more specifically, the inlet of the shielding door that shields the receiving part of the mailbox has a vertically inclined structure, so that the mail put into the receiving part can be stably stored without leaving or falling outside. It's about the mailbox.

In general, mailboxes for collecting and storing incoming mail are attached to large buildings such as various apartments or walls of houses.

These mailboxes are hinged on the door so that the input window can be rotated inward so that mail can be input from the outside, and this door is provided with a hinge on the upper part so that it is opened in a direction that rotates only when collection is in front of the box. It is configured to maintain the vertical state by the load of the door.

In addition, a locking device is added to the door located at the front of the mailbox in a vertical state to prevent the opening by others, and when the mail is collected when necessary, the locking device is released and the mail is collected.

The biggest disadvantage of the conventional mailbox with such a configuration is that a relatively thin and wide mail is placed in close contact with the bottom floor when the operator's hand is put in for collection.

Accordingly, when the mail is hand-held and withdrawn, it is very difficult to normally pick up the mail that touches the bottom surface and causes a lot of work time.

In addition, when the bottom surface of a mailbox is contaminated by rainwater and dust due to long-term use, important mail items are often damaged by contacting contaminants on the bottom surface.

Accordingly, it has been proposed to allow the mail to be easily collected on the bottom of the mailbox to a predetermined height from the bottom and to protect it from being damaged.

Such a conventional technique enables the collection of postal matters that are in close contact with the floor surface more easily and quickly, thereby providing convenience to the user and preventing damage to the postal matter.

Looking at the configuration of such a conventional technology schematically, a case in which a bottom plate is fixedly installed on a bottom surface, a door hinged to an upper side of the case to be opened when the mailbox is collected, and a hinged elastically installed on one side of the door There is a configuration such as an input window that rotates toward the inside so that mail is put into the inside, and a height maintaining network that maintains a predetermined distance from the bottom plate inside the case.

According to the prior art according to such a configuration, since the mail has a storage state in which a predetermined gap is maintained from the bottom surface by the height maintaining network, it can be easily collected by holding it by hand or pulling it in the withdrawal direction, In addition, by preventing pollutants formed by rainwater on the floor from contacting the mail, it is possible to collect and store the mail without pollution.

However, the mailbox of the prior art has a problem of increasing the cost of having to install a separate door for opening and closing the input window, as well as problems such as cumbersome withdrawal of mail because the mail must be completely put inside the box. there was.

In addition, when the door of the input window is removed, or when the mail is not completely inserted into the box and a part of the mail is protruded to the outside, the existing horizontal input structure has problems such as dropping or detaching the mail easily to the outside. there was.

In addition, in the case of the conventional vertical input structure, the mail is placed at a right angle to the wind direction when a strong external wind occurs, and the mail is easily separated from the mailbox by the wind strength.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, the mailbox according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving unit 10 and a shielding door 20.

The storage unit 10 is a box structure having an open front and an inner space, and a plurality of individual unit mailboxes may be provided in a state in which the individual unit mailboxes are separated from each other in a large cabinet structure.

The shielding door 20 has a rectangular plate structure having an elongated slit-shaped input port 21 at one side that shields the open front of the receiving part 10 and penetrates into the inner space.

The inlet 21 has an inclined structure that is inclined in a diagonal direction with respect to the vertical direction, and is put into the receiving unit 10 to minimize the influence of the mail 5 to the outside or fall or external wind. It is structured so that it is designed.

In addition, the input port 21 may be provided with an input guide means for guiding the mail 5 to the receiving unit 10.

The input guide means has a structure of an inclined guide plate 30 having a thin inclined surface shape that has one end connected to the edge of the inlet 21 and the other end inclined to the outside.

In particular, the inclined guide plate 30 is formed in a track shape formed over the entire inlet 21.

In addition, the inlet 21 may be provided with an elastic pressing means for elastically pressing in a state in contact with both sides of the mail 5 to be put into one side.

The elastic pressing means has a rectangular box shape that is disposed on one side of the inner side of the shielding door 20, which is adjacent to the inlet 21, and has protruding holes 41a facing each other on one side facing the inlet 21. A pair of pockets 41 having one end protruding in the direction of the inlet 21 through the protruding hole 41a of each pocket 41, and the other end being caught on the inner edge of the protruding hole 41a A pair of elastic pressing protrusions 42 having (42a) and a pair of elastically supporting the elastic pressing protrusions 42 by being disposed on the rear surface of the locking piece 42a of each of the elastic pressing protrusions 42 so that the elastic pressing protrusions 42 face each other It has a structure including the spring 43

In addition, the elastic pressing protrusion 42 has a curved surface structure rounded in a hemispherical shape so that the tip portion is pushed into the protruding hole 41a by the postal matter 5 inserted through the inlet 21.

In addition, the pocket 41 is a thin plate that changes the direction of the front end of the postal matter 5 inputted through the inlet 21 on one side opposite to the inlet 21 so that the distal end of the postal matter 5 is bent. The shape of the first bending guide plate 51 may be provided.

In addition, the pocket 41 is bent again by bending the postal matter 5 that is primarily bent through the first bending guide plate 51 on the other side facing the first bending guide plate 51. As a result of this second bending, a second bending guide plate 52 may be provided so that the tip end thereof is held by the first bending guide plate 51.

On the other hand, the inlet 21 may be provided with auxiliary elastic pressing means for elastically pressing both sides of the postal matter 5 in a state in contact with both sides of the postal matter 5 to be put into one side.

Such, the auxiliary elastic pressing means is a storage unit so as to be pushed to the rear by the mail input in a state facing each other on both sides in the width direction of the inlet 21 and elastically pressurized in a state in contact with both sides of the mail (5) (10) It has a structure including a pair of auxiliary elastic pressing pieces 60 having the shape of an elastic material curved inwardly.

In addition, the shielding door 20 is a moving direction of the front end of the postal matter 5 inserted through the inlet 21 on one side of the rear side adjacent to the inlet 21 on which the auxiliary elastic pressing piece 60 is installed A third bending guide plate 71 may be provided to convert the postal item 5 so that the tip portion of the mail 5 is bent.

In addition, the shielding door 20 is bent again by bending the postal matter 5 that is primarily bent through the third bent guide plate 71 on the other side of the rear surface facing the third bending guide plate 71. 5) A fourth bending guide plate 72 may be provided so that the tip end thereof is held by the third bending guide plate 71 by this second bending.

Here, the third and fourth bent guide plates 71 are arranged on the same line up and down with the first and second bent guide plates 51 and 52 so that the upper and lower sides of the input postal matter 5 are bent at the same angle at the same position. It is desirable to ensure that the lock is fixed.

An example of using a mailbox according to an embodiment of the present invention according to this configuration is as follows.

First of all, through the inclined structure of the inlet port 21, it is possible to prevent the mail 5 from falling or being separated from the existing horizontal input structure. In addition, in the case of the existing vertical input structure, when strong wind occurs outside As the mail (5) is placed at a right angle to the wind direction, the inlet port (21) has an inclined structure, compared to the fact that the mail (5) was separated from the mailbox by the wind force, so the wind flows along the slope of the mail (5). Because it is designed to reduce the influence of the wind force on the mail 5, it is possible to minimize the separation of the mail 5 from the mailbox.

In addition, by providing an inclined guide plate 30 in the shape of an outwardly inclined track along the entire rim of the inlet 21, the pair of inclined guide plates 30 when the mail 5 is put into the inner space of the receiving unit 10 The mail 5 is smoothly fed into the interior space of the receiving unit 10 along the slope of the.

Then, when entering the inner space of the storage unit 10 through the inlet 21, the mail 5 comes into contact with the pair of elastic pressing protrusions 42, and if the mail 5 is inserted inward, the As the pair of elastic pressing protrusions 42 are pushed in the direction of the pocket 41, the gap between them is opened, so that the mail 5 is fed forward.

At this time, each of the elastic pressing protrusions 42 that are pushed to both sides can be elastically supported by the elastic repulsive force of the spring 43 in a state in which its tip is in close contact with both sides of the postal matter 5.

Subsequently, when the postal item 5 is advanced, the front end of the postal item 5 is formed along the inclined surface of the first bent guide plate 51 by the first bending guide plate 51 installed at the rear end of the pocket 41. While bending to one side, the so-called double bending phenomenon occurs in which the inclined surface of the second bending guide plate 52 on the other side is bent in the opposite direction, and the tip of the postal matter 5 is bent in the first by a two-stage bending method. As the guide plate 51 is bent and jammed at the front end, the postal matter 5 is able to maintain a firmly fixed state in the inner space of the receiving unit 10.

In addition, the elastic support phenomenon for the postal matter 5 inputted to the inlet 21 is generated by a pair of auxiliary elastic pressing pieces 60 provided on the other side of the elastic pressing protrusion 42 of the inlet 21. do.

Here, when the mail 5 is pressurized between the pair of auxiliary elastic pressing pieces 60, the front ends of the pair of auxiliary elastic pressing pieces 60 having a shape bent backward are respectively the corresponding mail 5 on both sides. When the postal matter 5 is pushed backward in this state, the first bending occurs by the third bent guide plate 71 on the inside, and then the fourth bent guide plate 72 on the opposite side As a result, after the second bending occurs, the leading end of the postal matter 5 is caught by the third bending guide plate 71 and fixed.

In this way, the postal matter 5 can be stored and maintained in a state in which stable support is made by a separate elastic support means and a bend locking means after being put into the inlet 21.

As described above, the mailbox according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving portion having an open front and an inner space, and a shielding door having an inlet at one side that shields the open front of the receiving unit and penetrates into the inner space. The inlet port has an inclined structure that is inclined in a diagonal direction with respect to the vertical direction, so that the mails in the case of protruding outside the mailbox are not easily separated compared to the existing horizontal structure or vertical structure. As the storage condition becomes good, it is possible to prevent contamination or damage of mail that occurred when falling or leaving, and thus, reliability can be given to the user.

In addition, a mail guide means is provided outside the inlet port to facilitate and facilitate the mail input operation, as well as a separate elastic support means and a bending means, etc. inside the inlet port, so that the elastic support means and By allowing the storage of the mail to be stably maintained while being firmly supported by the bending means, this also allows the user to have a sense of reliability and safety.

As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the above preferred embodiments, but the present invention belongs to the modified examples in which these embodiments are simply applied in combination with the conventional known techniques as well as the utility model registration claims and detailed description of the present invention.
