ABSTRACT:
A roadside mail box formed of an L-shaped tubular member erected with the "L" inverted and having a mail compartment in its horizontal leg. In a preferred embodiment, a closure sleeve, closed at one end, is coaxially, rotatably disposed on the horizontal leg. Respective elongated openings on the side of the horizontal leg and in the sidewall of the sleeve, register at one rotational position of the sleeve to permit access to the mail compartment and, in other rotational positions of the sleeve, are out of registration to close the compartment. Detents establish open and closed positions of the sleeve which is pendulously urged to the closed position. In alternative forms of construction the closure sleeve is absent and a sliding or hinged door closes the opening to the mail compartment.
