Multiple-Compartment Mailbox Device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multiple-compartment mailbox device primarily comprised of a body, further comprised of at least one lid with at least one hinge, at least one interior space, and at least one divider wall. The device may be comprised of two interior spaces. One for outgoing mail and packages, and one for incoming mail and packages. In one embodiment, both compartments have mail lids. In a different embodiment, only the incoming mail compartment has a mail lid. The device may be comprised of at least one motion sensor, at least one transmitter, and at least one battery. The motion sensors detect when mail has been delivered or received by the postal worker, and electrically communicates with the mobile application via the transmitter, thus providing a notification on the user's smart device. The mobile application allows a user to know precisely when their mail was delivered.

         9 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 8 , wherein the motion sensor is powered by a battery. 
     
     
         10 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 7 , wherein the interior space is comprised of a first compartment and a second compartment formed by the divider wall. 
     
     
         11 . A multiple-compartment mailbox device comprising:
 a body having a first fastener;   an interior space;   a divider wall;   a lid having a second fastener;   a first hinge;   a mail lid having an opening, a third fastener, a first motion sensor, a first transmitter, and a second hinge;   a mail flag; and   a mobile application.   
     
     
         12 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 11 , wherein activation of the first motion sensor is sent to the mobile application via the first transmitter. 
     
     
         13 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 11 , wherein activation of the second motion sensor is sent to the mobile application via the second transmitter. 
     
     
         14 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 11 , wherein the mobile application notifies a user that mail has been delivered or picked up via input from the first transmitter or the second transmitter. 
     
     
         15 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 11 , wherein the first fastener and the second fastener are comprised of reciprocating fasteners that lock the lid to the body. 
     
     
         16 . The multiple-compartment mailbox device of  claim 11 , wherein the lid is comprised of a handle.
