Abstract
An apparatus for driving a pair of gripper bars of a multi-stage press in a longitudinal direction of the press which includes a pair of driven levers disposed symmetrically to a longitudinal center plane of the press, which levers are engageable with a slide guide extending at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the press. At least one feed cross member is operatively connected to the pair of gripper bars and also to the slide guide associated with the pair of driven levers. Two toothings are provided which are disposed symmetrically to the longitudinal center plane and are conjointly reciprocatingly driven between two end positions. Each toothing meshes with a pinion mounted for rotation and fastened to the frame with the pinions having a rotational path between the two end positions of the toothing which amounts to 180.degree.. Each pinion is also rotationally fixed to one of the pair of driven levers.
