A device in which to place an article to be retrieved later by an intended recipient employs a container having a forward portion defining a first opening through which to insert an article, a rearward portion defining a second opening through which to retrieve the article, and a size and shape enabling the container to be mounted on a conventional door. The device includes a lockable cover member for limiting access through the first opening, and a bracket for supporting the container adjacent the door by closing the door with the bracket between the door and door frame. The bracket is attached to the container to support the container in a position enabling cover removal for access through the first opening while retaining the rearward portion closely adjacent the door to inhibit access through the second opening. A lip portion of the bracket member engages the door to inhibit removal when the door is closed while enabling removal when the door is open, to thereby enable an intended recipient to retrieve an article by opening the door and removing the container to a position providing access through the second opening. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly, the above and further objects of the present invention are realized by providing a new and improved device in which to place an article for delivery purposes.
The device employs a container having a forward portion that defines a first opening through which to insert an article into the container, a rearward portion that defines a second opening through which to retrieve the article, and a size and shape enabling the container to be mounted on a conventional door.
In one embodiment of the invention, the container takes the form of a video cassette-size box in which to make home deliveries, and in another, a door mounted cabinet in which to receive medicinal supplies.
A front cover member is included.
The front cover member is adapted to be locked in place over the first opening to limit access to the container interior through the first opening.
It may be a removable cover that includes a key operated lock, for example.
A bracket member is provided that has a generally flat midportion shaped and dimensioned to fit between a door and the door frame.
It is used to support the container by closing the door with the midportion disposed between the door and door frame.
In one embodiment, the bracket member is a rigid plate suitably attached to the container.
One end of the bracket is attached to the container to position the container adjacent the door.
It is attached so that with the bracket midportion disposed between the door and the door frame, the first opening of the container is disposed in a position enabling placement of an article through the first opening by unlocking the first cover member.
In addition, the second opening of the container is disposed closely adjacent to and facing the door in a position inhibiting retrieval of the article through the second opening.
A lip portion of the bracket member, disposed intermediate the midportion and the other end of the bracket, engages the door to inhibit removal of the container when the door is closed while enabling removal when the door is open
