ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for supporting a primary automotive door panel and door trim panel during a manufacturing process includes at least one rest block. The rest block has a rocker provided with first and second arms extending radially outwardly from a pivot axis at an angle to one another and perpendicular to the pivot axis such that adjacent surfaces of the arms form a radially outwardly opening recess. The rocker is supported for pivotal movement from a loading position in which the recess opens laterally to a work-supporting position in which the recess opens upwardly. The inner surfaces of the arm meet adjacent to the pivot axis to define a notch adapted to support a lower edge portion of the primary door panel when the rocker is in the work-supporting position. One of the arms has a shelf adapted to support the trim panel when the rocker is in the work-supporting position. The other arm carries a roller made of a soft, non-abrasive material such as rubber or plastic.
