ABSTRACT:
A signalling system is used in conjunction with a mailbox, a newpaper tube or the like to signal the arrival of mail, a newpaper or the like. The system is highly visible in bright sunlight and is also visible at night and includes a ball that is held in an upper location adjacent to the mailbox and is released as soon as the door is opened to drop downwardly. Two serially connected switches couple a light bulb to a power source, with one of the switches being manually operated and the other switch being operated when the ball drops into its lower position.
