  • Cover for parallel guide means, especially in machine tools
    Patent number: 4676666
    Abstract: At least two telescopically interengaging cover members (20, 22 or 30, 32, 34) are associated with each of two or more parallel guide means (12, 14). They are displaceable with respect to each other irrespective of the cover members of the or each other guide means. The cover members (20, 22) of a first one (12) of two adjacent guide means (12, 14) each comprise an elastic apron (26) along their respective edge facing the second one (14) of these guide means. The apron lies in sliding contact on the cover members (30, 32, 34) of the second guide means (14). In this manner the or each space between guide means (12, 14) is covered in addition to the guide means themselves. And yet the cover members (20, 22 or 30, 32, 34) associated with the different guide means (12, 14) remain movable independently.
