Abstract
An apparatus for applying a pad to a component has a flexible diaphragm held in a continuous frame for holding the pad. On its front side which faces the component when the apparatus is in use, the frame has a circumferential, resilient gasket. Through a vacuum connection, a space between the diaphragm and the component is to be attached to a vacuum source. By that the pad applies itself against the component.
