ABSTRACT:
A tool magazine, especially for milling and drilling machines, comprising a linear tool support having at least one row of tool holders, the tool support being mounted on the free ends of two swivel arms. Each swivel arm is disposed laterally of the work table and is mounted on a shaft for rotation therewith, the shaft being located in the work table. For protecting the tools inserted in the various tool holders and the tool tapers thereof, a cover is provided which contains a row of protective caps adapted to the shape of the tool tapers. The cover with the protective caps can be moved by means of a pivot lever mechanism from a position closely encompassing the tool tapers to a position permitting free access to the tool tapers. Any deposits of flushing liquid, dust particles and cuttings on the taper surfaces are effectively prevented when covered by the protective caps.
