Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a supporting device for a plurality of components (100, 200, 100*) with different geometries, in particular for a plurality of geometrically different motor-vehicle external attachments made of polymer material, having a support frame (30), a drive (40) arranged on the support frame (30) and at least two supporting groups (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) arranged on the support frame (30), wherein each supporting group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) serves as a supporting surface for a particular component geometry, wherein each supporting group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) has at least two spaced-apart, disc-shaped supporting elements (1′, 1″, 1′″; 2′, 2″, 2′″, etc.), the upwardly facing rim (10′, 10″, 10′″; 20′, 20″, 20′″, etc.) of each of which already has, in the unloaded state, a contour adapted to the geometry of the associated component (100, 200, 100*). By means of the drive (40), the supporting elements (1′, 1″, 1′″; 2′, 2″, 2′″, etc.) are movable such that only the supporting elements (1′, 1″, 1′″; 2′, 2″, 2′″, etc.) of a single supporting group (1, 2, etc.) protrude upwards such that the upwardly facing rims (10′, 10″, 10′″; 20′, 20″, 20′″, etc.) thereof form the supporting surface for the component geometry associated therewith.
