Mailbox guard and newspaper holding system

摘要

A mailbox protection system that deflects debris away from striking a mailbox that is attached to a bottom area of a mailbox post to reduce a moment of force on the post. A deflection assembly is held in place utilizing a cantilevered structural mounting assembly. The deflection assembly is physically separated from a proximate mailbox that the deflection assembly is configured to protect. The mailbox protection system minimizes or reduces the moment of a force causes by debris striking the deflection assembly.

主权项

1. A mailbox protection system for deflecting debris, comprising:
a mounting bracket non-fixedly attached to an attachment location of a mailbox post; a cantilevered structural mounting assembly comprising:
a first end non-fixedly attached to the mounting bracket; anda second end non-fixedly attached to a deflection assembly; and the deflection assembly disposed in a non-contact arrangement with a mailbox disposed adjacent to and spaced from the deflection assembly, the deflection assembly comprising a wedge shape formed by:
a first sheet formed to comprise a top section and a back section defining a V-shape and having two free edges, the back section fastened to the cantilevered structural mounting assembly; anda second sheet comprising a bottom section, the second sheet fastened to the two free edges of the first sheet; the mailbox protection system configured to mitigate a moment of a force affecting the mailbox by transferring at least a portion of the moment of force to the attachment location of the mailbox post, resulting from debris striking the deflection assembly.
