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 mail box arena. Mailboxes generally are of two types, the urban mailbox and the rural mailbox; both types are contained within this patent application
2. Description of Related Art
The proximity of the rural mailboxes to the edge of the road allows the mail carrier to deposit mail in the rural mailbox without getting out of their vehicle since the door to such typical rural mailbox face the roadside.
Unfortunately, the fact that the single door to the typical rural mailbox faces the road means that the homeowner has to step out into the street to send or retrieve mail. This could create hazardous conditions for the homeowner, which could involve roadside/curbside accidents.
The design of the Safe “T” box, Multi Safe “T” Box, and Residential Safe “T” Box is designed to secure homeowners' mail, which also has safety in mind, and make uniformity in single family neighborhoods. The basic design allow for modifications to the Safe “T” Box allows for expanding the unit, for homeowners with multiply occupants in one home to have private mail units. The Safe “T” Box mailbox has a secure door positioned in the middle of the mailbox for easier excess then some of the standard bottom open security mailboxes used today, for those with disabilities, making the Safe “T” Mailbox easy for all homeowners' to access.
The Safe “T” Box with modifications allows city residents to have mail and small packages deposited safely and secured in the mailbox then what is currently used 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 to go around to the front of the mailbox, or step into the street anymore to send or retrieve mail again. The unit has a security lock panel in the rear that mail is secure for pick-up at the end of the day.
The unit is fully functional, easy to install, and durable, which makes the Safe “T” Box, Residential Box, and Multi-Safe “T” Box more effective than the current mailboxes being used today. Most current mailboxes don't have a way to secure the mail and this allows vandals to steal homeowners' personal information, using that information in Identity theft crimes.
The stand along unit is made from some sort of fabricated material, designed to be secure and safe for homeowner. The unit is completely enclosed, made from some sort of fabricated material, held together with some type of heavy duty clear glue and screws. The unit can be enclosed if the consumer wishes with bricks or remain as designed, a stand-alone unit, able to withstand the weather, keeping the U.S. Mail, newspapers/advertisements, not delivered by U.S. Postal Service secured from thieves.
