Security container

Abstract

A security container configured to be releasably secured to a structure wherein the security container is movable between a stored position and a deployed position. In the deployed position the security container is operable to receive packages or similar objects. The security container includes a rear wall, a front wall, a bottom panel and sidewalls that are movably coupled in order to provide transition between the stored position and the deployed position. A top panel member is further provided to provide covering of the opening of the security container 100 in its deployed position. A communications module is further includes having elements such a motion sensor, a camera and a microphone wherein the communications module provides remote operation of the security container 100. An alarm module and weight sensors are further included and the security container 100 can be secured to the structure utilizing alternate embodiments of the securing member.

         7 . The security container as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said support member extends outward from said rear wall and is perpendicular thereto, said support member extending a length so as to allow said first sidewall, said second sidewall and said front wall be adjacent each other and underneath said support member when the security container is in its collapsed position. 
     
     
         8 . The security container as recited in  claim 7 , and further including a securing member, wherein said securing member includes a first portion disposed in or secured to the security container and a second portion disposed in or secured to the structure to which the security container is adjacent. 
     
     
         9 . The security container as recited in  claim 8 , and further including a communications module, said communications module having electronics to store, receive, transmit and manipulate data, said communications module including at least one camera, at least one microphone and at least one motion sensor, said communications module operably coupled to a remote computing device having a software application providing remote operation of the security container. 
     
     
         10 . The security container as recited in  claim 9 , and further including at least one weight sensor, said at least one weight sensor being disposed in said bottom panel and configured to detect a change in weight thereon.
