Device for adjusting the height of a plurality of tool carriers for a bending press

A device for adjusting the height of a plurality of tool carriers of a bending press having a top panel provided with a square, said tool carriers being connected to said top panel, each tool carrier comprising a tool spacer having a top face, a length and two end portions, disposed vertically in register with said top panel, said adjustment device comprising, for each tool carrier, an adjustment wedge having a horizontal top face against which said square of the top panel is to bear while the bending press is in operation, and a sloping bottom face bearing against said top face of the tool spacer associated with said wedge, each wedge being of length greater than the length of the tool spacer associated therewith and being capable of sliding in a longitudinal direction of the bending press in order to adjust a distance between each tool spacer and the top panel;

• wherein the ends of each wedge have engagement means to enable a wedge associated with a tool spacer firstly to overlap at least part of the top face of an adjacent tool spacer, and secondly to engage reversibly with the wedge associated with said adjacent tool spacer so that the two adjacent tool spacers touch one another, and wherein the square of the top panel can bear against the engagement means as well as on the corresponding wedges.
