ABSTRACT:
A designer mailbox with removable decorative side plates comprising a lower base plate in a generally rectangular configuration with parallel side edges and parallel front and rear edges; a semi-cylindrical roof panel having parallel lower edges located above the side edges of the base plate and extending from the front edge to the rear edge of the base plate; a pair of parallel planar interior side walls parallel with the side edges of the base plate and extending upwardly from the base plate at locations spaced inwardly from the side edges, the interior side walls having upper edges formed integrally with the roof panel interiorly of its lower edges; a pair of parallel exterior side walls extending upwardly from the side edges of the base plate to the lower edges of the roof panel and spaced a distance outwardly from the interior wall to thereby form generally rectangular spaces between the interior and exterior side walls; an opening in each exterior side wall extending from a horizontal lower edge parallel with the side edges of the base plate to a horizontal upper edge formed in the roof panel with parallel generally vertical edges therebetween; and a transparent insert positionable in each opening of the exterior wall, each insert being planar in its lower extent and curved in its upper extent to form a smooth curve continuation of the roof panel, each insert including generally L-shaped members with their longer legs positionable interiorly of the upper and lower edges defining the opening whereby a force by the user adjacent to the upper edges of either insert will effect sufficient deformation of the insert to effect its removal from the opening or its insertion thereto.
