In a machine or vehicle component comprising a first housing part, a second housing part covering the first housing part, an opening which is provided in the second housing part, a functional attachment unit incorporating a mounting element consisting of a structurally rigid material which extends through the opening, it is proposed that the problem that the functional attachment unit can only be mounted on the second housing part if the structural rigidity thereof is sufficient to hold the functional attachment unit permanently in a stable position be solved in that the second housing part is formed from a thermoplastic material of low structural rigidity and in that there is provided a carrier which incorporates a carrying element consisting of a structurally rigid material and is fixed relative to the first housing part and upon which the attachment unit is held by means of the mounting element.

Machine or vehicle component

The object of the invention is to provide a cylinder head cover which comprises an integrated valve device and is easy to produce. To achieve this object, according to the invention the cylinder head cover comprises the following: a cover body which, when the cylinder head cover is mounted, is arranged on an engine block of the internal combustion engine and covers a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine; a valve device comprising a valve body and a main body for receiving the valve body, the main body of the valve device being secured to an inner face of the cover body by means of a weld joint.

Cylinder head cover and method for producing a cylinder head cover

In order to provide a valve cover to which at least one line is securable simply and by using a small number of fastening elements, it is proposed that the valve cover includes the following: a base body that, in the mounted condition of the valve cover, is arranged on an engine block of an internal combustion engine and covers over a valve chamber of the internal combustion engine, and at least one fixing device for securing at least one line to the base body of the valve cover, wherein the fixing device includes a fixing element and at least one fixing element receiver which is arranged on the base body and to which the fixing element is securable or secured by latching.
