Benefits of technology

The patent is about secure storage bags for securing deliveries to a specific location and methods of use. The bags have a reinforced fabric enclosure with sealed edges and a sealing mechanism for reversibly sealing the bags. The bags also have a securing mechanism for securely locking the bags against movement. The reinforcing elements in the bags may include elongated flexible elements, such as straps, cables, or chains, along the sealable edges or the sealed ends of the bags. The bags may be made from nylon or wire mesh and may have metal reinforce eyelets or rigid rods. The technical effects of the patent text are to provide secure storage bags for deliveries that can be easily secured and transported to their destination.

Problems solved by technology

Although home delivery has revolutionized the way in which consumers shop, purchase and obtain products from merchandisers, the system of delivering these products to consumers has not kept pace.
Specifically, delivery times are generally outside the control of the customer so that packages must be left unattended at the customer's home for extended periods of time.
In addition, most homes are not provided with postal boxes large enough to secure deliveries and so the packages are typically left in the open on a customer's front porch.
As a result, there has been a rising problem of package theft, particularly around the holidays when people are doing a lot of on-line shopping and postal delivery shopping.
