ABSTRACT:
A mail or storage box for suspension between spaced-apart parallel vertical members and secured thereto in cover contact with a horizontal plane surface. The box is suspended by means of a compound pivoting arm arrangement to close against the cover surface and to be capable of opening from the front or rear in such a manner that upon opening the edge of the box falls away from the cover while progressively tilting as the opening proceeds toward a stop position where the contents are revealed and presented to the person opening the box. On closing a reverse progression occurs. Compound pivoting is achieved using a pair of pivot arms at both ends of the box and arm both pivotally secured to the end closure of the box at the top and at the bottom to an attachment plate. The attachment plate is the means for suspending the box in the space between the vertical supports and against the upper closure. The box may be used in spaced vertical sequence so that plural of the boxes are mounted between the same vertical supports. Front and rear locks are provided and users of the box in rural delivery situations need not get into the street to empty the contents of the box. Weather seals are provided between cover and box at front and back. The boxes are drained and signals are selectively attached thereto.
