A printing press is provided with a safety device mounted in the vicinity of a gap formed between two counter printing rollers for preventing the gap from intrusion by foreign elements, such as a mop or the hand of an operator. The device includes a four-link transmission unit operatively interconnected between pivotable guard plates and a cam switch adapted to actuate an end switch of the printing press to shut the latter off. The guard plates are swung away from the rollers so that the gap is enlarged.

Safety device for counter rollers in a printing machine

An operator safety device includes a plurality of covers for covering parts of a machine to protect an operator against contact with these parts when the machine is in operation. At least some of the covers are movable between a closed position where the covers do not cover these parts and the latter are readily accessible and constitute a danger of accidents. A switch is operable for shutting down the machine when at least one of the covers moves from the closed into the open position. A linkage connects the covers with the switch for actuating the latter whenever at least one of the covers moves from the closed into the open position.
