Abstract: A display counter wherein the upper portion of the case has several upwardly and forwardly sloping hollow supports for modules which pivotably mount one or more front panels each of which can be moved to a first position in which it overlies the customer side of the counter and a raised second position in which the internal space of the counter in accessible from the customer side. The modules include linear actuators which can pivot the front panel or panels between the first and second positions as well as to one or more intermediate positions. Each actuator is pivotally secured to a frame of the respective module at the lower end of the corresponding support and to a hinge for a front panel at the upper end of the support. The pintle of the hinge is mounted in the upper end portion of the corresponding frame.
