Abstract

The device of the invention allows a flexible substrate to be applied against the etched matrix with insertion therebetween of a layer of resin, the application of the substrate on the matrix taking place from the center progressively towards the periphery. It comprises support means in the form of a ring cooperating with a deformable resilient cushion of a convex shape so as to give a curved shape to the substrate at the beginning of molding then to effect the progressive application, while ensuring relative centering of the substrate and the matrix.
