Abstract
This application relates to a system and methods for the securing of material objects. The system can include a locking device. The material object can be attached to the locking device. The system can further include a cable for the ventilation device and material object. The system can be attached and detached to a door without the need for tools and can be compatible with preexisting delivery boxes.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A system for securing of a material object comprising a locking device,
wherein the locking device comprises a front portion and a back portion, wherein the front portion comprises a raising and locking impediment, wherein the back portion comprises a cable and means to attach the material object to the cable and locking device, wherein the locking device can compress and expand when passing through the undercut clearance gap of a door, wherein once locked in place the locking device can only be removed from the door by opening the door and moving it to the vacant space.
2 . The system of claim 1 wherein the back portion comprises one or more additional openings for the cable to travel through the material object when the material object is attached to the back portion and when the system is attached to a closed object with a clearance gap.
3 . The system of claim 1 further comprising an impediment to the interior of the material object preventing separation of the cable and material object, wherein the cable is also connected to the locking device.
4 . The system of claim 1 further comprising an impediment to the exterior of the material object preventing separation of the cable and material object, wherein the cable is also connected to the locking device.
5 . The system of claim 1 wherein the back portion of the locking device comprises an attachment for the cable.
6 . The system of claim 1 wherein the back portion of the locking device attaches to a cable.
7 . The system of claim 1 wherein the front portion of the locking device comprises a compressible and locking impediment.
8 . The system of claim 7 wherein the raising and locking portion of the impediment comprises padding.
9 . The system of claim 1 wherein the locking device comprises a material selected from the group consisting of shape-memory alloy, steel, nitinol, nickel, titanium, copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, gold, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polylactide, any other plastic, nylon, composite, and aluminum.
10 . The system of claim 6 wherein the cable comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of steel, shape-memory alloy, nitinol, nickel, titanium, copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, gold, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polylactide, any other plastic, nylon, composite, and aluminum.
11 . The system of claim 1 wherein the system can be secured to the undercut clearance gap of a closed door.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is secured to the undercut clearance of a closed door by an blocking system comprising a raising and locking impediment.
13 . The system of claim 12 wherein the raising and locking impediment comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of shape-memory alloy, steel, nitinol, nickel, titanium, copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, gold, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polylactide, any other plastic, nylon, composite, foam, rubber, bamboo, hemp, cotton, wool, silk, flax, and aluminum.
14 . The system of claim 3 wherein the material object has an opening for a cable that tunnels the thickness of the material object.
15 . The system of claim 3 wherein the impediment to the interior of the material object comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of adhesive, shape-memory alloy, steel, nitinol, nickel, titanium, copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, gold, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polylactide, any other plastic, nylon, composite, and aluminum.
16 . The system of claim 1 wherein the impediment to the exterior of the material object comprises one or more materials selected from the group consisting of adhesive, shape-memory alloy, steel, corrugated metal, corrugated plastic, corrugated paper, nitinol, nickel, titanium, copper, zinc, aluminum, iron, manganese, silicon, gold, high-density polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polylactide, any other plastic, nylon, composite, and aluminum.
17 . The system of claim 1 wherein the material object is a delivery box with adhesive or tape, wherein the delivery box can contain material objects.
18 . A method of securing a material object using the system of claim 1 comprising:
attaching the material object to the system
moving the system through the undercut clearance gap of a closed door
wherein upon moving the system of claim 1 through the undercut clearance gap of a closed door, the locking system secures the material object to the door and premises.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
