Description

The invention relates to a device for emptying filling devices, such as pillar mailboxes or the like, by means of a transport container provided with hinged locking brackets, the locking brackets Have guide means which can be pushed into opposite guide rails of the filling device and in which the transport container is closed when it is pulled out of the filling device will.

Often, especially in the postal service, the requirement is made of these filling devices that with their emptying of the emptying end nothing of the contents. This applies e.g. B. with mailboxes, Collection chutes, chutes, boxes. In order to do this, it was necessary to have special supervisors to use, who had to watch over that the filling took place properly.

Devices have become known in which the existing as a transport container in the filling device Bag or the like. Is provided with a shutter lock, which when removing the transport container is forcibly closed from the filling device. This known device fulfills However, their task is only incomplete, since a removal of filling material during the removal of the Transport container from the filling device is not excluded. In addition, these are transport containers so difficult that it can even be transported for a person is mostly impossible. Emptying bags with strikers and one are also known snap lock located on it. Such bags are z. B. used for emptying mailboxes, wherein the strikers when emptying the mailbox in guide rails provided for this purpose on the latter be inserted, whereupon the bottom of the mailbox can be opened and the contents falls in the pocket. They can then only be locked after their striker completely or partially have been pulled out of the guide rails. The filling material is therefore accessible to those who empty it not withdrawn. This is avoided by the device according to the invention in that the guide rails formed in two parts and foldable in their centers and around their front ends a fixed bolt and rotatable at its rear ends about a bolt movable in a guide are stored and have a spring-loaded latch housed in a covering protective box to lock the two deep inside the box. opposing guide pins of the provided with a snap lock closure bracket of the transport container in its filling position and that an on-device on the side wall of the filling device

Blow bar is attached to loosen the latch before pulling out the transport container after whose snap lock is closed.

A removal of the unsealed transport container from the filling device is therefore not necessary Use of force not possible.

In the device according to the invention, for. B. a pillar mailbox, so there is always a Transport container, which also serves as a collecting container within the device. Each time the Pillar mailbox, the transport container is removed and replaced by an empty one, which then up to remains in the pillar mailbox for the next emptying, where it then, as it were, the bottom of the actual mailbox forms. It's inside through a lockable door in the pillar mailbox Access to the transport container located is withdrawn from unauthorized persons. The one charged with emptying Person must therefore have a key for the door of the pillar mailbox. After she opened this has, it removes the filled transport container, which is automatically closed. Then she pushes in an empty and opened second transport container the pillar mailbox and lock it again. The removal of the product from the transport container takes place elsewhere by another person who has a key for the snap lock on Has locking bracket of the transport container.

Emptied transport containers are once again responsible for emptying when they are open

handed over, so they neither have to nor should have a key for the snap lock.

The object of the invention will be explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. It is a pillar mailbox with a locking device (Fig. 1), which is installed in the form of two lateral two-part guide rails for a bag with a locking device (Fig. 2). The closure device consists of two two-part, unequal-jointed ones, connected by joints 7. U-shaped guide rails 5, 6 with pulling device 1 and their pivot bolts 3 together. The pivot point of the rail is at a bolt 13. The pull rod 1 is guided through the guide slot 4 and the bearing 2. The latch 8 with the hook spring 11 and the suspension 9 on the rear rail is used to automatically lock the open pocket. A stop bolt 10 fastened in the pawl 8 strikes the stop bar 12 fastened to the side wall 14 when the bag is removed and rotates the pawl 8 out of the blocked position so that the bag can fall out by its own weight. For better insertion of the pocket, a fixed support or a funnel can be attached in front of the rails 5, 6. The automatically closing filling pocket has a snap lock 15 and a strike plate 18. The two locking brackets 19, 20 are connected by the joint 17. For guidance in the locking rails provided on the outside of the bracket guide pins 16. When inserting the bag, sack or pouch, the rails 5, 6 are in the extended position, with the central pivot point being lower than the side suspensions 3, 13, so that none when opening Self-locking occurs. A pin 16 must grasp behind the pawl 8. In order to ensure proper functioning, a stop piece can be attached to the locking door of the mailbox or the filling device, which when the door is closed presses the bracket into the end position.

To remove the bag, the handles that act on the rails 5, 6 are on the two Pulling the tie rods 1 causes the two rails to buckle and the stop bar 12 presses the; e Latch 8 back so far that the bag falls out under its own weight. So that the hooked Bags cannot be removed by unauthorized persons, the pawl comes with a protective box covered.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic front view of a pillar mailbox with the inventive Device is equipped. The filling pocket 21 located therein is shown in dashed lines. She is located behind the door 22 of the column 23. The letters thrown in through the slot fall into the fully opened pocket 21. Emptying the pillar mailbox, d. H. changing the filled ones Bag 21 against an empty one in the manner already described, can be made when the closed Door 22 is opened.
