Abstract
The invention relates to a cover for a machine bed of a machine tool with covering boxes which can be pushed telescopically one inside another, wherein each covering box comprises a first and a second side wall and a top wall joined to the side walls. On at least one side wall an outwardly projecting catch is arranged for the next largest covering box, provided with a counter catch. The catch is configured in a profiled catch section arranged in a side wall. A shock absorbing element is arranged on the catch, which dampens the impact between the catch and the counter catch. Furthermore, a stop is provided on the profiled catch section, which can be brought into contact with a profiled catch section or a rear wall of the next-largest covering box. The stop serves to dampen the impact between two covering boxes.
