Abstract
A protective cover for the work area of a machine tool having a plurality of frame-like segments disposed so as to be limitedly shiftable within each other and respectively provided with a sealing strip on at least one edge. A plurality of connecting elements formed as slidable lattice grates connect the frame-like segments, the respective link pins of the slidable lattice grates being fixed to a respective rear segment of a segment. For simplified assembly and removal of the protective cover the slidable lattice grates are detachably fixed to the frame-like segments.

A protective cover for the work area of a machine tool, the cover comprising:
- a plurality of frame segments mutually disposed so as to be limitedly shiftable within each other, each frame segment having a rear segment;
- a sealing strip on at least one edge of each said frame segment;
- connecting elements formed as slidable lattice grates, each having two crossed arms, said lattice grates connecting said frame segments, said slidable lattice grates having respective link pin assemblies, each comprising a link pin, said link pins being fixed to said rear segment of respective ones of said frame segments;
- said slidable lattice grates being detachably attached to said frame segments;
- said link pin in each said link pin assembly being respectively surrounded by a flange sleeve on which said two crossed arms of the respective slidable lattice grates are supported in bearings;
- and
- each said respective flange sleeve is detachably connected to said respective link pin;
- wherein at least some of said link pins are spring biased and axially shiftable within their said flange sleeves.
