Benefits of technology
The Safe Rotatable Mailbox is a new invention that provides a secure way to have a mailbox that can rotate to avoid snowplows and is difficult to damage. It is made up of a typical mailbox, a top structure, a means to connect the mailbox to the structure, gussets, an outer sleeve with an opening, a pivot rod, an inner post with a rotational "sinusoidal" slice, a locking bar, and a means for ballasting the locking bar. This invention can be made using low or high volume production methods and has several advantages such as avoiding the need for homeowners to enter the street to retrieve mail, being easy to assemble and install, being durable and requiring minimal maintenance, and being resistant to damage from water, salt, and sand.
