ABSTRACT:
A combination of a mail box and visual indicator is disclosed. The combination includes a mailbox having front and rear ends and an elongated resilient member having first and second ends. The elongated member is mounted at its first end to the rear end of the mailbox and has a tip protector mounted at its second end. When the door to the mailbox is open, the elongated member swings from an engaged to an extended position so as to indicate the door has been opened and the mail has arrived. The tip protector prevents injury to persons in the vicinity of the box while the elongated member is in motion.
