ABSTRACT:
The present case discloses a signal or flag assembly for use with a mailbox having a front door hinged at the lower portion thereof and comprising a body portion having sidewalls, said signal assembly comprising a flag or signal having a signal standard or support bent intermediate its ends to provide a signal carrying portion or arm and an attaching arm portion extending at an angle thereto, and pivot means for securing the attaching arm portion to one side of the mailbox. The attaching arm portion of the standard includes a pawl portion at its outer end for releasable latching connection with a signal latching member carried by said mailbox door. The signal latching member includes a spring portion extending at an angle to the mailbox door for cooperation with the pawl portion of the attaching arm portion, and weather cover means for protecting the pivot means and associated mechanism from the elements comprising a box-like structure secured to the side of the mailbox and having a cover portion spaced from the mailbox side wall and overlying the hinged portion, and open sides to permit the attaching arm to extend through one of said sides and to swing therein. The bend in the standard or support is double so as to permit the attaching arm to extend into the weather cover means, the attaching arm being offset from the signal carrying arm for this purpose by means of the double bend.
