Abstract:
Apparatus for presenting and orienting a stock box (B) to enable articles to be removed or accepted, the apparatus comprising a pair of parallel hinged arms (4) which are extended by a pivoting box support (5), the hinged arms (4) being movable between a low position and a high position, in both of which positions the support (5) is horizontal so that the box (B) can be placed on the support (5) or can be removed therefrom, the arms moving via an intermediate position in which the support (5) is inclined relative to the horizontal and facilitates access to the inside of the box (B) to remove said articles or to put them into place, and by the fact that said arms (4) have respective engagement fingers (410) at their free ends that cooperate with respective studs (505) secured to the support (5) to lock mutual hinging between the arms and the support from a desired angle respective to one another, thereby enabling the support (5) and the associated box (B) to be brought into an inclined position relative to the horizontal.
