Delivered package securment system
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current package delivery systems fail to provide adequate security against theft, damaging structures, and require permanent attachments, which are inconvenient and costly for both consumers and retailers.
Innovation Solution
A lockable package container with a dual securement system that can be removably attached to either a garage door or exterior wall, featuring a securement member that traps beneath the door and a telescoping handle assembly for adjustable mounting, allowing for easy installation and use without permanent hardware, and includes optional insulation for temperature control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If threaded fasteners or permanent attachment means are used to secure the delivery box to a dwelling structure, then the package security is improved, but the dwelling structure is damaged and the delivery box cannot be readily removed
Solution Approach 1:
The securement system is divided into separate components: a delivery box with securement members and a dwelling structure with corresponding reception features. This allows the box to be securely attached without permanently damaging the dwelling structure, as the securement members can be removed and the reception features remain intact.
Solution Approach 2:
The securement members are designed to be removable and recoverable from the dwelling structure. After securing the delivery box, the securement members can be detached and reused for future deliveries, avoiding permanent damage while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If threaded fasteners or permanent attachment means are used to secure the delivery box to a dwelling structure, then the package security is improved, but the delivery box cannot be readily removed which interferes with normal door use
Solution Approach 1:
The securement system transitions from a static permanent attachment to a dynamic removable attachment. The delivery box can be securely fastened when needed for package protection, then easily removed when not required, allowing flexible adaptation to different usage scenarios without interfering with normal door operations.
3Ease of manufacture
If a securement system is designed for specific mounting locations, then the installation is simplified, but the adaptability to different building structures is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The securement members are designed with universal compatibility to work with multiple types of dwelling structures including doors, walls, and gates. The reception features can be configured in various locations and orientations, allowing the same basic securement mechanism to adapt to different building structures while maintaining simple installation procedures.

AI summary
A secure package delivery system comprises a lockable container configured for securement to a movable door or exterior wall of a building structure. The container includes a walled body and openable lid. A vertically and horizontally adjustable dolly handle assembly is slideably coupled to a rear of the body and operable to form an adjustable gap for receiving a portion of the door to trap and secure the container in place. The handle assembly is lockable in place to the container and in vertical position by a crank mechanism operated via a lever. The container further includes a movable securement aperture in the handle assembly and wall pin which permits securing the container to a wall via operation of handle assembly and crank mechanism. A movable latch operated by the crank mechanism secures the wall pin in the securement aperture to prevent removal of the container.
