"Neal Dwelley was trying to clear snow around his mailbox three years ago when a car flew by and nearly hit him.
"Unnerved,
he went online to look for devices that could slide his mailbox to the
edge of the snowbank so he could avoid putting himself in danger while
using his snowblower. He said he found none, but there were plenty of
reports of people around the country being hit by cars while clearing
snow around their mailbox.
"'I have 10 newspaper articles of people being killed doing that,' said
Dwelley. It was shortly after that he and his partner Ivan Stanek, of
Hampton Falls, began work on the Slide Me Out mailbox bracket, which
they patented last year and have since begun selling online."
A recent article in Foster's Daily Democrat reported on Mr. Welley's invention.
