Abstract (en)

A letterbox comprises an outer section (2) having an outer flap (22), an inner section (3) having an inner flap (23), as well as a telescopic shaft comprising a first shaft section (4) and a second shaft section (5). The first shaft section belongs to the outer section, and the second shaft section belongs to the inner section. The telescopic shaft allows the creation of an inclined shaft sloping downwards from the outer section to the inner section. The outer section (2) and the inner section (3) are sufficiently large in area to cover a straight opening (7) to be made through the mounting base (8), allowing the inclined telescopic shaft to be fitted so that it forms an integral inclined shaft, while simultaneously forming mounting points facing the mounting base for the sections (2,3). Expanding fire insulation strips (6) or band is provided in the straight opening (7) outside the telescopic shaft to block the telescopic shaft by compression in case of fire.
