Abstract
A structured casing built within an exterior door in an exterior doorway. The casing comprises of an access tray with a handle and an inner tray flap on the inside of the enclosed casing that are connected by an assembled bracket system, an access door with a handle and a locking device on the interior back, opposing interior and exterior side panels, an interior and exterior casing top, and a casing bottom. Opening the access tray sets the assembled bracket system in motion causing the inner tray flap to position at a 90-degree angle, forming a flat package receiving space. Closing the access tray further sets the assembled bracket system in motion causing the inner tray flap to return to its starting position releasing the package to the bottom where the package can then be retrieved by unlocking and opening the access door from inside a home or building.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
(8) The following descriptions are made in reference to FIGS. 1-6 and are provided as a written illustration of the embodiment of the present invention.
(9) Referring to FIG. 1, being a transparent side view of the constructed casing in the closed position, can be seen to comprise exterior handle 1 that is affixed to and used to open access tray 4. Opposing rotating pins 8a and 8b are connected from opposing exterior side panels 15a and 15b of FIG. 3 to opposite sides of access tray 4 to form a pivoting motion when the access tray is being opened and closed. Opposing pneumatic cylinders 2a and 2b are connected from opposite sides of access tray 4 to opposing cylinder mounts 3a and 3b, which are affixed to opposing interior side panels 15c and 15d of FIG. 4. Inner tray flap 12 affixed to the inner side of the interior back casing 5 by flap hinges 9a and 9b. An assembled bracket system that consists of opposing support brackets 6a and 6b affixed to opposite bottom inner sides of access tray 4, opposing support connectors 7a and 7b connected from support brackets 6a and 6b to the bottom sides of access tray 4, opposing bracket connectors 10a and 10b extending from bracket supports 6a and 6b and support connectors 7a and 7b and connected to opposing flap connectors 11a and 11b which are affixed to opposite sides of tray flap 12. Interior back casing 5 is attached on opposite sides to interior side panels 15c and 15d, seen in FIG. 4, and to interior casing top 14b, seen in FIG. 4, and to casing bottom 16, seen in FIG. 4.
(10) Referring to FIG. 2, being a magnified transparent upper side view of the constructed casing in the open position, illustrating that when handle 1 is pulled open, access tray 4 pivots on rotating pins 8a and 8b and causes pneumatic cylinders 2a and 2b to extend out from the cylinder mounts 3a and 3b, also causing the assembled bracket system to be set in motion. Further, the opening motion of access tray 4 would cause bracket supports 6a and 6b and support connectors 7a and 7b to pull the bracket connectors 10a and 10b which in turn would pull the flap connectors 11a and 11b which would finally pull tray flap 12 up to a 90 degree angle, flush with the base of access tray 4. This flat surface would serve as a package receiving space and a package or packages would be placed here by a delivery person.
(11) Further referring to FIG. 2, once the package or packages have been place on inner tray flap 12, the delivery person can then let go of access tray handle 1. This will again set the assembled bracket system in motion causing access tray 4 to close and inner tray flap 12 to return to its starting position of laying flat against the inner side of interior back casing 5, as seen in FIG. 1, and would release said package or packages to casing bottom 16 of FIG. 4 where the package or packages will be securely enclosed inside the constructed casing.
(12) Referring to FIG. 3 being a left-angled front view of the fully constructed door with the access tray being in the open position. Exterior door 20 with decorative cut out windows, that embodies the constructed casing that is attached to exterior door 20 by exterior casing top 14a, interior casing top 14b, exterior side panels 15a and 15b, interior side panels 15c and 15d, and casing bottom 16.
(13) Referring to FIG. 4 being a right-angled rear view of the fully constructed door with access door 17 in the open position. Access door handle 18 is affixed to access door 17 in a vertical position. Beneath handle 18 is a locking device 19 to secure the access door 17. Access door 17 is attached to interior side panel 15c with hinges 21a and 21b. Access door 17 and locking device 19 allow a package or packages to remain secure inside the constructed casing until the intended recipient unlocks and opens said access door 17.
(14) Referring to FIG. 5 being a full frontal view of the exterior door with the constructed casing in the closed position in its completed form. Illustrating the door to be fully functional as a secure exterior door in an exterior doorway of a home or building with a doorknob 22 and a door lock 23.
(15) Referring to FIG. 6, being a full rear view of the exterior door with the constructed casing in its completed form, illustrating the view of the interior side of the door from the inside of a home or building where the door would be attached to the door frame with hinges 24a, 24b, and 24c.
