1/

02.Fixed screens or hoods

1/

04.Screens or hoods rotating with rotary shafts

1/

06.specially designed for welding


3/

00Safety devices acting in conjunction with the control or operation of a machine; Control arrangements requiring the simultaneous use of two or more parts of the body (F16P 5/00 takes precedence)

3/

02.Screens or other safety members moving in synchronism with members which move to and fro

3/

04..for machines with parts which approach one another during operation, e.g. for stamping presses

3/

06...in which body parts of the operator are removed from the danger zone on approach of the machine parts

3/

08.in connection with the locking of doors, covers, guards, or like members giving access to moving machine parts

3/

10..in which the operation of locking the door or other member causes the machine to start

3/

12.with means, e.g. feelers, which in case of the presence of a body part of a person in or near the danger zone influence the control or operation of the machine (F16P 3/08 takes precedence)

3/

14..the means being photocells or other devices sensitive without mechanical contact

3/

16..with feeling members moved by the machine

3/

18.Control arrangements requiring the use of both hands

3/

20..for electric control systems

3/

22..for hydraulic or pneumatic control systems

3/

24..for mechanical controls



5/
