Abstract
A device for exchanging cutting tools including a movable carriage having a base arranged beneath a floor of a platform surrounding the cutting section of the platen press with the base having a portion extending through a slot in the platform provided with a supporting axle, a supporting frame made of a basic plate and two vertical standards connected at the upper end to form an isosceles triangle is provided with a sliding bearing that is telescopically received on the supporting axle and the carriage includes an arrangement for shifting the supporting frame vertically relative to the base so as to enable lifting a cutting tool from the support arm of the press. The basic member of the supporting frame has spaces on each side of the frame for supporting two cutting tools so that two new tools can be placed on one side of the frame and two tools to be replaced can be carried on the other side of the frame during exchange of one pair of cutting tools for another.
