Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient pourvu d'un dispositif de rotation pour faire tourner un objet dans le récipient, en particulier une pile d'envois postaux plats. Le récipient (Beh) comporte un fond (Bo), une paroi latérale d'appui (Abs-Sw) et au moins une autre paroi latérale (Sw-geg). Le mécanisme de rotation comporte un premier élément de retenue plat (HE.1) et un deuxième élément de retenue plat (HE.2). Ces deux éléments de retenue (HE.1, HE.2) sont reliés mécaniquement l'un à l'autre. Dans une position de remplissage du dispositif de rotation, le premier élément de retenue (HE.1) repose contre la paroi latérale d'appui (Abs-Sw) et le deuxième élément de retenue (HE.2) se trouve sur le fond (Bo). Dans une position redressée du dispositif de rotation, le premier élément de retenue (HE.1) se trouve sur le fond (Bo). Un objet (St) se trouvant dans le récipient (Beh) repose alors sur le premier élément de retenue (HE.1). Un objet (St) peut être placé dans le récipient (Beh) quand le dispositif de rotation se trouve dans la position de remplissage. Le dispositif de rotation est ensuite transféré dans la position redressée, ce qui fait tourner l'objet (St) dans le récipient (Beh).
