ABSTRACT:
A signaling device is shown for signaling the delivery by the mailman of mail into the mailbox. A flat signal member is provided having a large area visible from a considerable distance and from any angle of where the signal member is hanging below the box in signaling position. The signal member is mounted for pivotal movement on the mailbox between signaling and nonsignaling positions independently of opening and closing movement of the mailbox door. The mailman, if delivering mail, releases the signal member from a latched position on the door to drop to signaling position before opening the door to deliver mail. If not released, the signal member performs no signaling function and is not affected by opening and closing the door merely for mail pickup. Two forms of the signaling device are shown, one for original box manufacture and the other for attaching the signaling device to an existing mailbox.
