Claim:
A machine for inspecting a container which is being conveyed along a linear path through right hand and left hand inspection stations, first cabinet means in front of and at the left end of the linear path, second cabinet means in front of and at the right end of the linear path defining an open area in front of the linear path and between the first and second cabinet means, first and second doors, first mounting means for mounting said first door on the side of said first cabinet means so that said door can be pushed from a closed position closing half the entry into the open area to an open position against said side of the first cabinet means, second mounting means for mounting said second door on the side of said second cabinet means so that said door can be pushed from a closed position closing the other half of the entry into the open area to an open position against said side of the second cabinet means, the right hand inspection station including a first assembly mounted in front of the linear path for pivotal displacement about a vertical axis between an operating position proximate to the linear path and a retracted position away from the open area, and the left hand inspection station including a second assembly mounted in front of the linear path for pivotal displacement about a vertical axis between an operating position proximate to the linear path and a retracted position away from the open area.
