Patent attributes
In some embodiments, a mail bag assembly designed to be attached to a garage door in a position to collect mail passed through a mail slot in the garage door. The assembly includes a mail bag having an opening for receiving mail, and a supporting subassembly (which can include a rod) coupled to the bag so as to hold open the mail-receiving opening. The supporting subassembly is configured to be mounted to a garage door and to support the bag in an open, mail-holding position. The bag is shaped and dimensioned so as to receive and hold mail (when supported by the supporting subassembly below a mail slot in the garage door in the mail-holding position with the door in a closed, vertical position) and to prevent the mail from falling out of the bag when the door is opened. Various embodiments of the assembly can be easily installed on any type of garage door, including residential or industrial wood garage doors and composite or metal garage doors with trust support.
