Abstract

A coating unit (20), comprising a lift-off protection (25) that is fastened in a face end region (21) of the coating unit (20) and is formed by a securing pivot lever (26), which can be manually pivoted about a pivot axis (27), which in the usage position (22) of the coating unit (20) is vertical, from an open position, in which the coating unit (20) can be placed onto a horizontal carrier (30) or lifted off therefrom, into a closed or lift-off protection position (31), and vice versa, in which the coating unit (20) is secured against lift-off from the carrier (30) when it is placed on the carrier (30). At least in the closed or lift-off protection position (31′) thereof, the securing pivot lever (26) is secured by a spring-elastic detent element (35) against accidental pivoting about the pivot axis (27) in an engagement position (29) such that pivoting of the securing pivot lever (26) about the pivot axis (27) from the closed or lift-off protection position (31) into the open position is only possible by applying an increased pivoting force. The invention also relates to a method for securing a coating unit (20) against lift-off from a carrier (30) and to a method for releasing a coating unit (20) that is secured against lift-off.
