ABSTRACT:
A device for facilitating the delivery of newspapers by motor vehicle to individual residential customers on what is commonly referred to as a motor delivery route. The device generally comprises a tubular holder to receive and embrace one end portion of a rolled or folded newspaper, said holder having a rigid handle extended rearwardly therefrom to enable the holder to be maneuvered from within the delivery vehicle into proximity to the customer's roadside or curbside receiver or receptacle, such as a newspaper tube or mailbox, without requiring the delivery person to leave the vehicle when the roadside receiver or receptacle is obstructed by a snowdrift or by a snowbank that has been plowed to the side of the roadway, or by a pile of construction material or refuse awaiting pickup, or other obstructions which prevent the delivery vehicle from approaching the receiver within normal arm's reach. Ejection of the newspaper from the holder is achieved by thrust means movably mounted within the holder and operable from the handle to thrust the newspaper from the holder into the delivery receiver when the holder is extended by the handle into suitably close proximity to and alignment with the receiver.
