Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a reactive flame-proof composition for vinyl polymers, consisting at least of a first monomer and a second monomer that can be polymerised using the first monomer, wherein the first monomer has at least one aliphatic double bond and can be polymerised using the second monomer to form a reactive flame-proof polymer having an aliphatic double bond. The disclosure also relates to: a reactive flame-proof polymer produced by polymerisation of the reactive flame-proof composition; a use of the flame-proof composition and the flame-proof polymer; a flame-resistant vinyl polymer comprising the reactive flame-proof polymer; and methods for the production thereof. The subjects according to the disclosure can in particular advantageously reduce dripping of vinyl polymers during fires and can thus improve the flame-proof nature of such polymers.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding a printing plate to a printing machine is disclosed. The apparatus of the printing machine includes a guard plate connected to the frame and moveable between a first position which impedes access to the interior of the printing machine and a second position which allows access to the interior of the printing machine. The apparatus further includes a support bracket pivotally connected to the guard plate and articulating means for permitting movement of the support bracket with respect to the guard plate between a first, essentially vertical position supporting the printing plate in a ready position and a second, inclined position for feeding the printing plate to the printing machine.
