The money passing device is adapted to equip counters having windows and is of the type comprising a bowl inserted in the counter and fictitiously divided into two parts by the extension of a partition wall separating the official from the public. The device comprises a shutter whose dimensions are very slightly less than those of the upper side of the bowl. The shutter is freely pivotable about an axis which coincides with the median plane of the partition wall. The axis is located slightly above the bowl so that, in its horizontal position, the shutter covers the bowl. End-of-travel abutments are provided for limiting the angular movements of the shutter in which the latter alternately uncovers one of the two parts of the bowl while it closes the other opposite part. This device has its application in any counters or counter windows and can be used for passing money, documents or other objects.
A money passing device comprising a counter, a partition wall partitioning an official off from the public and defining an opening between the partition wall and the top of the counter, a bowl inserted in the counter and fictitiously divided into two parts by an extension of the partition wall, a shutter having dimensions which are slightly less than the dimensions of an upper side of the bowl, the shutter being mounted to be pivotable relative to the partition wall about an axis which substantially coincides with the median plane of the partition wall, said axis being located slightly above the bowl in such position that the shutter covers the bowl and closes said opening in any position of the shutter, end-of-travel abutments co-operative with the shutter for limiting the angular movements of the shutter whereby the shutter uncovers alternately one of said two parts of the bowl while it closes the other opposite part of the bowl.
