Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0439772A2] The frame (31) for letterboxes (30) which have a cube-shaped cavity encompasses the cavity on the peripheral sides. At the front and back sides, the cavity is closed either by a removal door in each case or by one removal door and one fixed closing wall. The frame has four straight frame parts (40 ... 43), connected to each other by one edge part (45) in each case. These edge parts (45) are composed of one edge piece and two corner pieces, the edge piece having a cylindrical surface shell and the corner pieces an outer surface which is designed as a section of a toroidal surface. The corner pieces have dowels on the connecting surfaces which are matched to recesses in the edge pieces and, in some cases, in the frame parts. The frame parts (40 ... 43) may have a rounded oblong cross-sectional shape and be of hollow design. In this case they have recesses in their interior for receiving the dowels of the corner pieces and of the edge pieces. The corner pieces and edge pieces are, moreover, provided on the connecting surfaces with groove-shaped recesses into which flat panels can be inserted which serve instead of hollow profiles as frame parts.
