Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0980954A1] The wall hatch for exchange of documents has a movable tray (E) which can be opened from the inside by its operator using a movable flap (G). When the flap is open it is impossible to move the tray to the outside as this is prevented by the rear wall of the steel sheet (I) and a part of the flap. The back of the tray always remains completely closed when it is open in the front.
