Abstract
To create a housing cover for fixing to a housing, wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through openings and with a sealing bead that comprises an elastomeric material, and wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal support face of the housing cover, in which housing cover the course of the sealing bead can be more freely designed and, in particular, laid closer to the fastening means through-openings of the housing cover and which, in particular, is producible from a sheet-shaped starting material, it is proposed that the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal support face in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover, wherein the deformation limiting element comprises at least one fastening means through-opening portion that extends along a circumferential direction of one of the fastening means through-openings over a circumferential angle α around the respective fastening means through-opening, and wherein the fastening means through-opening portion of the deformation limiting element comprises a plurality of partial element that are spaced at a distance from one another along the circumferential direction of the fastening means through-opening.
