Abstract

A guard mechanism for a printing machine which includes a guard plate that is movable between a first position which impedes access to the interior of the printing machine and a second position which permits access to the interior of the printing machine and the plate cylinder and ink fountain located therein, the guard plate having an articulated connection with to the ink fountains such that upon movement of the ink fountain to a throw-off position the guard plate is simultaneously moved to a position which prevents the possibility of interference between movement of the guard plate and ink fountain.
