Receiving arrangement for receiving shipments, for use in openings in buildings

Abstract

A receiving assembly for receiving a shipment. The receiving assembly is used in a building opening to provide access to a room of the building. The receiving assembly includes a housing assembly which has a guide assembly, a door member which is movably mounted in the guide assembly, a drive device which drives the door member, a control device which controls the drive device, and a sensor. The housing assembly defines, together with a part of the room, a housing chamber. The sensor cooperates with the control device and exchanges electronic authorization information so that, in a first position of the door member, the building opening is closed, and in a second position of the door member, the building opening is open and the access to the room of the building is closed.
