Abstract
A device for bending a flat, round disc element, especially for forming a widened gap between two adjacent, facing disc elements which are to be glued together, includes a first part for contact with a first portion of the disc element, a second part for contact with a second portion of the disc element. The second, radially outer part is axially movable relative to the first part. A vacuum source is disposed to bend the radially outer portion of the disc element as the second part is retracted.
