ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an improved rural mailbox apparatus. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a lower housing and an upper, pivotally mounted upper shell. The lower housing has an opening for passing mail into and out of the housing. The upper shell is pivotally connected to the lower housing with the upper shell being vertically and rotatably moveable between a lowered, closed position and an upper, open position. In the lowered, closed position, the shell sufficiently covers the housing opening to protect contained mail from normal environmental conditions. When the shell is in the upper, open position, access is provided for a user to deposit mail into or extract mail out of the housing.
