Abstract

A device for attaching an element in a frame includes a seating, a supply path via which the element to be attached is brought to the seating, and a pivotable member. In a first position of the pivotable member, a first end thereof is situated in the supply path. In a second position, the first end is situated outside the supply path and a second end of the pivotable member to move the pivotable member between its first and second positions. The first position of the pivotable element is an overcenter position in which the relative positions of the pivotable member's pivot point, the seated element, and the point of contact between the seated element and the first end of the pivotable member are arranged to retain the seated element in place within the seating. In the second position of the pivotable member, the transport device moves the element via the supply path into and out of position in the seating.
