Abstract
A glass container forming machine has a machine base with a vertical front wall which includes a console assembly. This assembly has vertical front and rear box halves which are hingedly connected at the bottom and releasably connected at the top. The rear box is connected to the machine base via vertical hinges so that the console assembly can be pivoted away from the machine base. A console unit having a console screen is hingedly connected at the top proximate the top of the rear box half and the front box half includes vertically extending channels and the bottom of the console unit has followers for following the channels so that as the front box half is pivoted from a closed position whereat the box halves are closed, away from the rear box half to an open position, the console unit will be displaced from an initial position located between the closed front and rear box halves to a final position with the screen exposed and horizontal.
