[0007] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of the structure of the present invention. This structure is applied to a gate sleeve installed at an entrance to a housing site or in front of a front door. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, this structure has a pair of main body columns 1, 1 erected from the ground G at intervals in the left-right direction, a crosspiece 7 is installed at the upper ends of the main body columns 1, 1, and a lower crossbar 8 is installed at the lower parts of the main body columns 1, 1 to form a frame 9. A plurality of panels 2, 2,... are attached side by side in the vertical direction on the front surface of the frame 9, and an upper frame member 10 and vertical frame members 11, 11 are attached so as to surround the upper side and both left and right sides of the frame 9. This structure does not have a panel 2 on the rear side, and a post 3 and a delivery box 4 are installed vertically side by side in a shape protruding rearward adjacent to the inner surface 1a of the left main body column 1. The post 3 and the delivery box 4 are installed with the mail slot and the pick-up opening 5, 6 facing rearward.

[0008] As shown in FIG. 4, the main body column 1 is formed of an extruded aluminum alloy material into a hollow shape with a substantially rectangular cross section. The main body column 1 has a recess 12 for attaching the vertical frame member 11 formed along the longitudinal direction on the prospective surface on the outer peripheral side. As shown in FIG. 3, the coping 7 is formed of an extruded aluminum alloy material into a hollow shape with a substantially rectangular cross section. The coping 7 has a recess 12 for attaching the upper frame member 10 formed along the longitudinal direction on the upper surface. As shown in FIG. 3, the lower cross member 8 is formed into a square tubular shape having an inner corner portion 13 on the lower side of the front side. On the rear surface of the lower cross member 8, two brackets 19 for supporting the delivery box 4 are attached at intervals in the left - right direction. The bracket 19 is formed of a casting of a metal such as aluminum.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 3, the panel 2 is formed of an extruded aluminum alloy material into a plate shape having a hollow portion. As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of panels 2, 2,... are applied with plate - shaped attachment members 20 that are long in the vertical direction to the left and right end faces, and are screwed and fixed by screwing screws (not shown) from the side into tapping holes formed in each panel 2, so that the plurality of panels 2, 2,... are connected to each other and unitized. A plurality of panels 2, 2,... are arranged in front of the frame 9 in a state of being unitized by being connected with the attachment member 20, and are attached to the frame 9 by screwing the attachment member 20 to the main body column 1 from the side.

[0010] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper frame member 10 and the vertical frame member 11 are formed of extruded aluminum alloy materials having the same cross - sectional shape. The upper frame member 10 and the vertical frame member 11 have a pair of claw pieces 21, 21 (see FIG. 4) on the back surface side. The upper frame member 10 locks the claw pieces 21, 21 into the recess 12 formed on the upper surface of the coping 7 from above, and the vertical frame member 11 locks the claw pieces 21, 21 into the recess 12 formed on the prospective surface on the outer peripheral side of the main body column 1 from the outer peripheral side and is attached. As shown in Fig. 4, the upper frame member 10 and the vertical frame member 11 have a bent portion 22 with a U-shaped cross-section bent inward on the front edge, and the bent portion 22 hides the gap with the panel 2. Further, the upper frame member 10 and the vertical frame member 11 also have a bent portion 23 bent inward on the rear edge, and the bent portion 23 hides the gap with the lintel 7 and the main body column 1. As shown in Fig. 1, the left and right end portions of the upper frame member 10 and the upper end portion of the vertical frame member 11 are cut at an angle of 45°, and the end portions are butted against each other through the corner part 24 attached to the lintel 7.

[0011] As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the delivery box 4 is composed of a box-shaped main body 25 with a large opening formed on the rear surface for loading and unloading packages, and a keyed lid 26 for opening and closing the loading and unloading opening 6. The lid 26 is configured to pivot rearward about the left shaft 27 (see Fig. 4) to open. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the delivery box 4 is supported by the left and right brackets 19, 19 and abuts against the inner surface 1a of the left main body column 1, and the bottom wall 40 of the main body 25 is fixed to the brackets 19, 19 with screws 28 for attachment. Further, the upper part of the front wall 29 of the main body 25 is screwed to the panel 2 with screws 30 from the rear.

[0012] As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the post 3 is composed of a box-shaped main body 31 with a large opening formed on the rear surface for loading and unloading mail, and an outer lid 32 and an inner lid 33 for opening and closing the loading and unloading opening 5. When mailing a letter to the post 3, the outer lid 32 is opened and the letter is inserted through the insertion opening 34 formed in the inner lid 33. When taking out a letter from the post 3, both the outer lid 32 and the inner lid 33 are opened for removal. As shown in Fig. 3, the post 3 is placed on the delivery box 4 with a spacer 35 sandwiched therebetween, the main body 31 abuts against the inner surface 1a of the left main body column 1, and is fixed to the main body column 1 with screws 36 from the inside for attachment.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, in this structure, since the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are hidden behind the panels 2, 2, …, the front surface gives a clean impression. There is no panel 2 on the rear side. By arranging the post 3 and the parcel box 4 in contact with the inner surface 1a of the main body column 1, the protrusion of the post 3 and the parcel box 4 backward can be reduced.

[0014] Figs. 5 to 8 show the second embodiment of the structure of the present invention. The basic configuration of this structure is common to the first embodiment, and the same post 3 and parcel box 4 as those in the first embodiment are used, but the orientations of the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are different. As shown in Figs. 6 and 8, the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are installed with the mail slot and the pick-up opening 5, 6 facing the left side. That is, according to the site conditions and the like, this structure can select either a state where the mail slot and the pick-up opening 5, 6 face the side (second embodiment) or a state where they face the rear (first embodiment) to install the post 3 and the parcel box 4.

[0015] In the second embodiment, as shown in Figs. 6 and 8, the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are adjacent to the rear surface 1b of the left main body column 1, and the surfaces of the lids 26, 32 for opening and closing the mail slot and the pick-up opening 5, 6 are arranged at the same level as the surface of the vertical frame member 11. The gap between the rear surface 1b of the main body column 1 and the post 3 and the parcel box 4 is filled with a packing 37. As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the parcel box 4 has its main body 25 placed on the left and right brackets 19, 19 and the bottom wall 40 fixed with screws 28. At the same time, the upper part of the front wall 29 of the main body 25 is screwed to the auxiliary member 38 attached to the inner surface 1a of the main body column 1 with screws 30 from the rear. As shown in Fig. 7, the post 3 is placed on the parcel box 4 with a spacer 35 sandwiched therebetween, and the main body 31 is fixed to the auxiliary member 38 attached to the inner surface 1a of the left main body column 1 with screws 30 from the rear. It should be noted that the post 3 and the parcel box 4 can also be installed in contact with the rear surface 1b of the main body column 1.

[0016] As shown in FIG. 5, since the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are hidden behind the panels 2, 2, …, the front surface gives a clean impression. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, since the mail slots 5 and the parcel box outlets 6 of the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are provided facing sideways, the delivery person can easily notice the post 3 and the parcel box 4, and it is easy to deposit mail and packages.

[0017] FIGS. 9 and 10 show a third embodiment of the structure of the present invention. In this structure, a plurality of lattices (panels) 39, 39, … are attached to the front surface of the frame 9 at intervals in the vertical direction. Other points are the same as in the first embodiment, and the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are installed with the mail slots 5 and the parcel box outlets 6 facing backward. As shown in FIG. 9(a), in this structure, the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are visible through the spaces between the lattices 39, 39, … when viewed from the front.

[0018] FIGS. 11 and 12 show a fourth embodiment of the structure of the present invention. In this structure, similar to the third embodiment, a plurality of lattices 39, 39, … are attached to the front surface of the frame 9 at intervals in the vertical direction. Also, similar to the second embodiment, the post 3 and the parcel box 4 are installed with the mail slots 5 and the parcel box outlets 6 facing the left side.

[0019] As described above, the present structure (first, second, third, and fourth embodiments) includes a pair of main body columns 1, 1, panels (panel 2, lattice 39), a post 3, and / or a parcel box 4. The panels 2 and 39 are attached across the pair of main body columns 1, 1. The post 3 and / or the parcel box 4 is hidden behind the panels 2 and 39, and the mail slots 5 and the parcel box outlets 6 can be attached facing sideways or backward. Thus, depending on the site conditions, etc., either a state where the mail slots 5 and the parcel box outlets 6 face sideways (second and fourth embodiments) or a state where they face backward (first and third embodiments) can be selected to install the post 3 and / or the parcel box 4, which is very convenient to use. When the post 3 and / or the parcel box 4 are installed with the mail slot / delivery openings 5, 6 facing sideways (second and fourth embodiments), they are installed in contact with or adjacent to the rear surface 1b of one of the main body columns 1 (see Fig. 8). When the mail slot / delivery openings 5, 6 are installed facing rearward (first and third embodiments), they are installed in contact with or adjacent to the inner surface 1a of one of the main body columns 1 (see Fig. 4), so that the post 3 and / or the parcel box 4 can be installed neatly with respect to the main body column 1. Since this structure (first, second, third, and fourth embodiments) does not have the panels 2, 39 on the rear side of the main body column 1, the post 3 and / or the parcel box 4 can be easily installed in contact with the rear surface 1b or the inner surface 1a of the main body column 1.

[0020] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. The cross-sectional shape and material of the main body column and the panel can be changed as appropriate. The panel may be lattice-shaped or may be vertical lattice. The shape, material, mounting method, etc. of the post and the parcel box can be changed as appropriate. Only one of the post and the parcel box may be installed. The panel and the parcel box do not necessarily have to be completely hidden behind the panel. The present invention can be applied not only to door sleeves but also to any structure having a panel attached to a main body column, such as a fence, a wall, or a carport.
