Abstract
A protective device is provided on printing presses with a two-dimensional protective cover. The cover is mounted pivotably around a pivot axis in a press frame and shields a cylinder pair from access by an operating personnel and grants access to the said cylinder pair after pivoting off from the cylinder pair. The cylinder pair comprises a rubber blanket cylinder and a plate cylinder. A separate protective cover is provided for each of the cylinder pairs of a printing tower with 'U' and 'N' (type) bridge elements arranged alternatingly one on top of another.
