Abstract:
Examples are disclosed for a labeling machine for labeling containers, such as bottles in the beverage-processing industry. In one example, a labeling machine includes at least one machine unit which in operation can treat containers (e.g., label the containers), and a movable protective element which separates at least part of the machine unit from an associated environment. The protective element comprises a handle for moving the protective element, and the handle comprises a pushbutton for locking and/or unlocking. The pushbutton, when actuated, selectively releases and/or blocks the movement of the protective element.

Claim (Index 20):
A machine comprising:\n a machine unit; a control unit controlling one or more closing mechanisms of the machine; and a movable protective element which separates at least part of the machine unit from an environment, the protective element comprising a handle for moving the protective element, the handle comprising one or more buttons that are connected to the control unit, wherein the one or more buttons are actuatable to control the control unit to release movement of the protective element responsive to a first actuation and to block movement of the protective element responsive to a second actuation.
