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