Abstract

A collapsible delivery storage assembly includes a panel that is mounted to an exterior wall of a building and the panel has a recess therein. A storage unit is movably coupled to the panel and the storage unit is positionable in a collapsed position having the storage unit being positioned in the recess. The storage unit is positionable in a deployed position such that the storage unit defines a box for receiving a package delivery. A door is hingedly coupled to the storage unit to close the box. A combination lock is coupled to the door and the combination lock releasably engages the storage unit when the door closes the box. Thus, the combination lock restricts access to the package in the box.

7. The assembly according to claim 6 , further comprising a front wall having a primary surface, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge and a bottom edge, said front edge of each of said sidewalls being hingedly coupled to said primary surface of said front wall, said primary surface resting against said second portion of each of said sidewalls when said storage unit is positioned in said collapsed position, said front wall being spaced from said panel when said storage unit is positioned in said deployed position having said panel defining a back of said box and having said front wall defining a front of said box.

8. The assembly according to claim 7 , further comprising a support being coupled to and extending away from said primary surface of said front wall, said support being aligned with said bottom edge of said front wall, said bottom wall lying on said support when said storage unit is positioned in said deployed position wherein said support is configured to support the package when the package is positioned on said bottom wall.

9. The assembly according to claim 8 , wherein said door is hingedly coupled to said panel, said door extending downwardly in front of said storage unit when said storage unit is positioned in said collapsed position, said door lying on top of said storage unit when said storage unit is in said deployed position such that said door closes said box, said door having a first surface and a rear edge, said rear edge being hingedly coupled to said first portion of said lip on said panel.

10. The assembly according to claim 9 , further comprising a door sensor being coupled to said door, said door sensor engaging said storage unit when said door is positioned to close said box.

11. The assembly according to claim 10 , wherein said combination lock comprises a control circuit being positioned within said combination lock, said control circuit receiving a first input when said door sensor engages said storage unit.

12. The assembly according to claim 11 , further comprising a key pad being coupled to said first surface of said door, said key pad being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said key pad having a plurality of alpha-numeric keys for entering a pre-determined alpha-numeric code into said key pad, said control circuit receiving a second input when said pre-determined alpha-numeric code is successfully entered into said keypad.

13. The assembly according to claim 12 , further comprising a lock being movably coupled to said door, said lock being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said lock being turned on to engage said front wall when said control circuit receives said first input to lock said door wherein said door is configured to inhibit the package from being removed from said box, said lock being turned off to disengage said front wall when said control circuit receives said second input wherein said door is configured to facilitate the package to be removed from said box.

14. The assembly according to claim 11 , further comprising a power supply being coupled to said combination lock, said power supply being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said power supply being electrically coupled to a power source comprising an electrical system of the building.
