Abstract
The present invention discloses a system, device, and method for receiving on-site dropped packages delivered to a structure. The system preferably comprises an off-the-shelf object-receiving unit easily installable in an opening in a building, such as a standard window opening. In embodiments, the unit includes a hingeably movable section that automatically opens when a parcel intended for it is near and closes itself after delivery. The parcel may then be retrieved via a door or window on the inside of the unit by a person in the room in which the unit is installed.
Claims18
A unit for installing in an opening in a wall of a building, the wall having a first surface facing outdoors and a second surface facing an inside of the building, the unit for receiving an object intended to be delivered to it, the unit comprising:
- a. a non-movable section when the unit is installed in the opening;
- and
- b. a movable section connected to the non-movable section, the movable section adapted to move to an open position so that the object may be deposited inside the unit, and to move to a closed position after the object is deposited therein;
- wherein, when the movable section is in an open position, an inside surface of the movable section defines at least part of an object receiving platform onto which the object may be deposited;
- and
- wherein the opening in the wall of the building is a window opening, and the unit further includes a first extendable side wing having one end connected to a first side of the non-movable section and an opposite end for fastening to a first side of the window opening.
A parcel-receiving unit for installing in an opening of a building and for receiving a package to be delivered therein, the unit comprising:
- c. an outdoor section that, when the unit is installed in the opening, extends outside of the building, the outdoor section including an outer movable wall having upper and lower ends and an inner wall surface;
- and a lid having a non-movable section and a movable section connected to the upper end of the outer movable wall;
- and
- d. a substantially horizontal, non-movable platform that, when the unit is installed in the opening, extends at least partly outside of the building, the platform having an outer end hingeably connected to the lower end of the outer movable wall, such that when the outer movable wall is in a fully open position, the inner wall surface of the outer wall and the non-movable platform define an enlarged platform for receiving the package.
