US Patent 9596952 Secured receiving arrangement for a delivered parcel

A secured receiving arrangement for a delivered parcel includes a parcel receptacle for the delivered parcel to be enclosed therein; a lock arrangement to lock and unlock the lid of the parcel receptacle; and a securing device to secure the parcel receptacle to a door at the property to where the delivered parcel is addressed. The securing device is attached at one end to the parcel receptacle and at the other end includes an abutment such that when the securing device is slid under the door and the door is then closed, un-securing the parcel receptacle from the door is prevented by the abutment of the securing device engaging the internal side of the door.
