REELABLE SAFETY DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a safety device (SD) to be used in connection with machines and devices in the production or finishing line of paper and/or paperboard as well as in connection with devices utilized for production of pulp used in the manufacture of paper and/or paperboard. According to the invention the safety device (SD) comprises a reeling core (RC) and a safety structure (SW) reeled around said reeling core (RC). In a preferred embodiment of the invention the reelable safety device (SD) is composed of separate, substantially rigid lamellae (L) that are attached to each other in an articulated manner. As a result of the reelable structure, the safety device (SD) can be easily reeled away from the working area during maintenance and repair and thereafter it can be easily and rapidly reeled back into its place. The safety device (SD) according to the invention enables protection against various factors that reduce occupational safety and impair working conditions, such as mechanical hazards, heat and noise.
