Figure 3 is an end elevation.
Figure l is a vertical, transverse tic-n.
In the rawing 1 designates the box having a cover 2, these being of the usual size and shape. The frontend of the cover portion, as shown 3,is inwardly offset with respectto the front end 4 ot' the body portion of the box.
The space between these end portions forms a letter drop, said space being -nornially closed by a hinged lid 5 which works in said drop opening and in closed position is in Contact with both the end members and 4, as shown in Figure 1. This lid is z 7/ shown in closed position in Figure 3. To open it the lower end is lifted up and the lid swings back into the box leaving a space below it through which letters can be dropped.
Within the b0 and to each ably secured segmental links nally slotted as at 'Z, the lin rs slide on pins 8 carried by-the box sides. Curved links 9 are pivctally connected at 10 to the free ends of the links 6, and to the free ends ot the links 9 are connected rods 11 Which in turn are slidably connected to vertically arranged brackets 12 carried by the inner side of the frontwall 4:.
longitudinal secside are slid- 6 long1tudi- 1922. Serial H0. 551,200.
A drawer 13 is slidably placed in the bottom 0:" the box 1 and the pivot pins 10 connecting the links 6 and 9 are secured to the sides of said drawer or tray. In other words the pins 0 on which the links 6 slide and which guide pins are fixed to the box, while the pins 10 which are pivotal points for both sets of links are lined to the drawer. A linger grip 14 is carried by the front end of the drawer and projects out dly beyond the bottom out the box 1. jlQJZlCGHt the front end of the drawer is placed a spring metal plate 15, fixed to the front 01 the drawer at one end, but slightly spaced from it, and pressed the other end toward the end of the drawer by a s ring 15 The plate 15 co-operating with the L org iront end member of the drawer forms a .ctter clip or holder, within easy reach of :ne carrier.
T he usual signal indicator 1-6 is carried by one side of the box. Under normal cond ions the parts assume the position shown 1 s the drawer is pulled 6 and 9 12, lift the hinged Figure 2.
