BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to the field of mailboxes, in the category of receptacles in general mailboxes, however more particular in the security mailbox arena. Mailboxes generally are of two types, urban mailbox and rural mailbox; multiple types are contained within this patent application.

2. Description of Related Art

The proximity of the rural mailboxes to the street allows the mail carrier to deposit/retrieve mail in the rural mailbox without sometimes getting out of their vehicles. Unfortunately, the fact that the single door to the typical rural mailbox faces the road means that the homeowner has to either step into the street or reach around the mailbox to send or retrieve their mail. This creates hazardous conditions for the homeowner and the Postal worker. For the Postal worker has to get out of their vehicle to deliver packages, which could involve roadside/curbside accidents, work related injuries and even death for the Postal workers and homeowners alike.

By virtue of this design, the “Safe “4U” Mailbox”, along with modification/resizing of parts to accommodate city, rural, condos and multi-family dwellings will be known as “Safe “4U” Multi-Mailbox”, “Safe “4U” Residential Mailbox”, and “Safe “4U apartments/sub-divisions/condos Mailboxes”, which helps secure incoming mail/small packages and create uniformity of mailboxes in all areas. The basic design allows for rear secure access panel making easy access for people with disabilities, elderly, handicap and everyday homeowners to retrieve their mail safely. This design has safety in mind for everyone, making this mailbox safer than the standard curbside mailboxes currently on the market today.

The aspects of each design are shown within the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

By virtue of this Design, the homeowner doesn't ever have step into the street again to send or retrieve incoming mail/small packages. The unit has a security keylock system in rear of the mailbox to keep incoming mail/small packages secure for pick-up.

The unit is fully functional, sturdy, durable, easy to install, which makes the “Safe “4U” Mailbox”, “Safe “4U” Multi-Mailbox”, “Safe “4U” Residential Mailbox”, and “Safe “4U apartments/sub-divisions/condos Mailboxes” more efficient than mailboxes currently used today. Most curbside mailboxes don't have a way of securing incoming mail/small packages that don't fit into mailboxes are often left on homeowners' steps, front porches, etc., by postal workers making it easy for vandals to steal packages and personal information used in Identity theft.

This stand-alone mailbox can be constructed from some sort of plastic, metal, fabricated material, or environmentally friendly material that's weather resistant and sturdy. The unit is held together with some sort of tamper resistant screws, threaded screws, fasteners, bolts, and/or rivets, and some sort of heavy-duty adhesive, which by design will be secure and safer for homeowners. The “Safe “4U” Mailbox” can remain as designed, or enclosed with bricks if the homeowner prefers. Either way, this stand-alone unit will secure homeowners incoming mail/small packages, lowing the risk to homeowners and postal workers alike from related injuries and/or depth, and possibility helps the U.S. Postal Service lower their cost on Identity theft cases.
