Mail catcher

Abstract

An assembly that receives and stores mail secured to the exit side of a mail slot comprising of an opaque flexible pouch attached to a U-shaped mounting frame. The variable positioning capabilities of the assembly adds security to the rear area of the mail slot by blocking the view through the mail slot. Support tracks allow the assembly to adjust to different mail slot dimensions, whether attached to a building, residence or garage door. A support means inserted through a loop located in the upper most portion of the pouch, forming to the U-shaped frame and support structure present a permanent opening for mail to pass through and be stored. The pouches approximate set length adds security against seizure of mail through front side of the mail slot. The invention stores mail as a garage door rotates from a vertical closed position to an open horizontal position. Based on the location of the mail slot, the assembly design allows easy access to the mail for those confined to a wheel chair.

I claim:  
     
         1 . a device for collecting the mail for use with a mail slot attached to a wall or door of a private dwelling or commercial structure through which mail is inserted from one side of a structure for capture and storage to the other side comprising of: 
 a assembly;    a U-shaped frame consisting of a horizontal side center section having a top edge, a bottom edge and said section consisting of ends that bend into corners and continue with two horizontal lateral side sections opposite and of equal lengths having ends that bend into corners to form mount flanges with taper terminus;    an attachment location that is less intrusive to a support structure by using a exsiting mail slot to mount over or onto;    a variable positioning means to obscure the view through a mail slot for rear area security;    an attachment means for mounting the assembly to a given mail slot dimension.    
     
     
         2 . a pouch; 
 a opaque flexiable means consisting of five sides having the upper edge folded and attachment means to form a loop in conjuntion with support means inserted through said loop forming a permanent mouth opening to receive mail;    a approximate lengthwise measurement being purposely set to provide security against unwanted seizure of stored mail;    a flexiable means having a self-supporting mouth opening in combination with a U-shape frame attached over or onto a mail slot to store mail level as a garage door rotates from a vertical closed position to a horzontal open position.    
     
     
         3 . an assembly configuration, which allows minimal effort for mail retrieval to those confined to a wheel chair.
