Abstract

A mounting device and method for mounting a component is disclosed. The mounting device includes a component carrier and an adapter. The adapter is insertable into a guide of the component carrier. The method uses the mounting device to mount a component on the mounting device.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A mounting device in combination with a component, comprising:
a component carrier, wherein a front mounting surface of the component carrier is concave; and
an adapter, wherein the adapter is disposed in a guide of the component carrier and wherein the guide is a passage opening which extends through the component carrier from the front mounting surface of the component carrier to a rear carrier surface of the component carrier;
wherein the component has a convex surface, wherein an adhesive secures the concave front mounting surface of the component carrier to the convex surface of the component, and wherein the adhesive secures a circumferential side wall of the adapter to the component carrier in the guide of the component carrier.

2. The mounting device in combination with the component according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter is a cylindrical body with an outside diameter which is smaller than an inside diameter of the guide.

3. The mounting device in combination with the component according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter has a cup-like cross-section.

4. The mounting device in combination with the component according to claim 1 , further comprising an ejector element which is pressable against a rear face of the adapter.

5. The mounting device in combination with the component according to claim 4 , wherein the ejector element includes a heating element.

6. The mounting device in combination with the component according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter is disposable.
