• the maintenance device 40 is now secured in both directions of travel, namely on the one hand by the arm 900 and on the other hand by the catch 903 of the lever 90.
• the locking device 9 is locked and designed such that the locking device 9 immediately assumes its locking position shown in FIG. 9, and the rail section 61 (see FIG. 3) has left its position in alignment with the running rail 33 of the machine 2 , but ready so early that the rail section 61 has not yet left the area in the extension of the running rail 33 of the machine 2.
• the maintenance device 40 is secured either by the lever 90 and the adjacent running rail 33 or by the arm 900 and the catch nose 903 of the lever 90, thus not being unsecured for a moment. - 25 -
• the switch 27 previously described in its function can also be operated in addition to the locking device 9 in the inner section 610 and by removing or reaching the stop rail 25.
• the disturbance call emitted by a disturbed work station 25 thus does not reach the maintenance device 4 or 40 which has been taken out of operation and is in the inspection position II.
• an adjusting device 94 is provided on the machine and on the service station .
• the support rails 72 and 73 each carry a laterally protruding guide lug 720, which snaps into a corresponding guide groove 331 in the running rail 33 shortly before the operating position I is reached, and thus the rail section 61 is exactly opposite the adjacent aligns sections of the running rail 33.
• Exactly the same adjustment elements can also be used for aligning the rail section 620 (FIG. 5) with respect to the running rail 33 if it is provided that the other maintenance device 4 on the maintenance device that has been taken out of operation 4 should be able to drive past.
