Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0347495A2] In a method for orientating a container for receiving products, the container rests with its bottom surface on a non-plane base. The bottom surface is orientated in a plane. It is orientated in a horizontal or oblique plane. The container is orientated on a support plate whose surface extends through the plane. The container is lifted at its first lateral edge until the latter, together with a second lateral edge running opposite thereto, extends through the plane. The device for orientating a container for receiving products which stands on a non-plane base envisages that the container is mounted on mounting points of its bottom surface, of which at least one is adjustably arranged in a plane with at least two others. The mounting points are arranged within a horizontal or oblique plane. At least one of the mounting points rests on a support, which is supported relative to the base and has a position which can be changed between the base and the bottom surface. The support is displaceably retained on the bottom surface and supports the container in the region of the first lateral edge. Below the bottom surface, it has a position of rest in which it is positioned within a profile extended by the container.
