Abstract
The present invention relates to transfer mechanism for multiple punch presses with two co-operating pairs of conveyor tongs which are fixed to a carrier element. The carrier element is movably mounted in a housing and driven to-and-fro to the operating rhythm of the punch press. The carrier element includes a bore effective to direct a lubricating fluid therethrough. Lubricating lines supply lubricating fluid to the bore at a desired fluid pressure. The bore has an outlet opening contiguous to the structure which incorporates the conveyor tongs. In the event that the conveyor tongs break away from the carrier element, the outlet opening of the bore is uncovered and the fluid pressure drops. The power supply to the press and the lubricating fluid supply are stopped in response to such a pressure drop.
