Abstract
Apparatus for orienting heavy mold bases and the like, including a pair of rockers connected together in spaced align relation and having upper planar support surfaces terminated at one end by a fixed abutment and at the other by an adjustable clamp. The curved surfaces of the rockers have a curvature of shorter radius at points near the abutments than at points near the clamping devices. The curved surface, abutment and clamping device of each rocker are arranged such that the center of gravity of a heavy mold base is normally slightly off-center toward the abutment end of the rockers.
