  That is, the invention described in claim 1 is a frame-shaped attachment portion that is attached to the interior side of the opening portion for a mailbox provided on a wall surface or door of a house so as to surround the opening portion, and the attachment portion. The post receiving apparatus is characterized in that it has a cylindrical body that is fixed to the mounting portion at the upper end thereof and communicates with the opening in a state where it communicates with the opening in the portion.

  The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that an opening for taking out an input such as mail is opened in the cylindrical body, and the opening that opens and closes the taking-out opening can be opened and closed. The mail receiving apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a member is provided.

  Further, the invention described in claim 3 is the mail receiving apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the cylindrical body is formed of a transparent or translucent material.

  Further, the invention described in claim 4 is the mail receiving apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cylinder is formed of a material that is impermeable or hardly breathable.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, when a newspaper etc. are inserted in the opening part of a mailbox, the mailbox apparatus which can prevent reliably a crevice wind from entering the room | chamber interior from the clearance gap of the said opening part can be provided. .

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Embodiment 1
FIG. 2 shows a mail receiving apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the mailbox 1 is disposed on the indoor side of a mailbox 3 provided on a wall 2 near an entrance of a housing complex such as a housing complex or a detached house. The mailbox 3 includes an elongated rectangular opening 4 that is opened in the wall surface 2 and the like, and the opening 4 is provided with an opening / closing door 5 that can be opened and closed with respect to the indoor side. Yes. The opening / closing door 5 is formed of a metal plate such as stainless steel, and is attached to a frame 7 constituting the opening 4 via a hinge portion 6 provided at the upper end of the opening / closing door 5 so as to be freely opened and closed. ing. Further, the opening / closing door 4 is urged in a direction to close the opening 4 by a coil spring (not shown) provided on the hinge 6, and the opening 4 is indicated by a solid line in FIG. Thus, it is normally closed by the open / close door 5.

  By the way, in the present embodiment, a frame-shaped attachment portion that is attached so as to surround the opening portion on the indoor side of the opening portion for the mailbox provided on the wall surface of the house, and the opening in the attachment portion communicate with each other. In this state, the upper end is fixed to the mounting portion and has a cylindrical body that hangs downward.

  That is, the mailbox 1 according to the present embodiment has a frame shape that is attached to the inside of the opening 4 of the mailbox 3 so as to surround the opening 4 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2B. The attaching part 10 is provided. As shown in FIG. 3, the frame-shaped attachment portion 10 is, for example, an elongated rectangular shape that is slightly larger than the opening portion 4 of the mailbox 3 or made of a metal material such as wood or aluminum, or the opening portion of the mailbox 3. 4 is composed of two members 10 a and 10 b formed in an elongated rectangular frame shape having substantially the same size as that of the member 4, and these attachment members 10 a and 10 b are formed from the opening 4 of the mailbox 3. Is also provided with openings 15 and 16 having a size that is slightly larger or substantially the same size. Of the two frame-shaped attachment portions 10a and 10b, the attachment portion 10a located on the indoor side is formed in a state where the outer peripheral end 10a 'is chamfered as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the attachment portion 10 is attached to the indoor side of the opening portion 4 of the mailbox 3 by attachment means such as screwing or double-sided tape (not shown).

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 1, the mail receiving apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment includes a cylindrical body 11 that is fixed in a state where it is communicated with the openings 15 and 16 of the mounting portion 10. This cylindrical body 11 is formed in a bottomed and slender bag shape in which the bottom portion is stitched with a cloth made of synthetic fiber such as nylon or natural fiber, and an opening portion 12 positioned at the upper end portion is fixed to the mounting portion 10. Has been. As shown in FIG. 3B, the opening 12 located at the upper end of the cylinder 11 is sandwiched between two frames 10a and 10b constituting the mounting portion 10, and as shown in FIG. It is attached in a state of hanging downward.

  The cylinder 11 is preferably formed of a transparent or translucent material so that the presence or absence of an input such as mail can be visually confirmed from the outside. In order to more surely prevent the entry of drafts into the room, it is desirable to use a non-breathable or non-breathable material.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the central portion of one surface of the cylindrical body 11, a takeout port 13 for taking out an input such as a mail or a newspaper has a predetermined length (for example, A chuck 14 as an opening / closing member for opening and closing the take-out port 13 is attached to the take-out port 13 by sewing or the like.

  The opening / closing member that opens and closes the take-out port 13 is not limited to the chuck 14, and a Velcro (registered trademark), a hook, or the like may be used. If a box or the like for receiving the input is used, the lower end of the cylinder 11 may be opened and the takeout port 13 may be omitted.

  In the above configuration, in the mail receiving apparatus according to the present embodiment, when a newspaper or the like is inserted into the opening of the mail receiving box as described below, it is possible to prevent a draft from entering the room through the gap of the opening. It is possible to do.

  That is, in the mail receiving apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (b), the frame is attached to the indoor side of the opening 4 of the mail receiver 3 so as to surround the opening 4. The cylindrical body 11 is attached to the frame-like attachment part 10 in communication with the opening of the attachment part 10 and hangs downward. For this reason, in the mailbox 1, as shown in FIG. 5, even when the newspaper 20 is still inserted into the opening 4 of the mailbox 3, the gap air that enters from the gap 21 of the opening 4 of the mailbox 3. Is blocked by the cylinder 11 behind the openings 15 and 16 and does not enter the room. In addition, strong gap air that is about to pass through the inside of the cylinder 11 is sealed by the cylinder 11 formed in the shape of a bottomed and slender bag with the bottom stitched together, and does not enter the room.

  In this way, in the mailbox 1, as shown in FIG. 1, it is only necessary to attach the mounting portion 10 provided in a state where the cylindrical body 11 communicates to the indoor side of the opening 4 of the mailbox 3. Even if the newspaper 20 or the like is inserted into the opening 4 of the mailbox 3 without increasing the size or weight, it is ensured that the draft air enters the room through the gap 21 of the opening 4. It is possible to prevent it.

  Further, since the articles 20 such as newspapers 20 and postal items put in from the opening 4 of the mailbox 3 are completely put into the room and then housed in the cylinder 11, they are provided in the cylinder 11. By opening the taken-out take-out port 13 with the chuck 14, it can be taken out easily, and it does not fall on the floor surface or the like, and it is possible to prevent mails and the like from being soiled.

  Further, the presence of an input such as a newspaper 20 or a postal matter accommodated in the cylinder 11 can be easily confirmed by changing the shape of the cylinder 11.
