Abstract
A novel housing assembly is disclosed. The housing assembly includes a cover section and an end frame which may be of dissimilar materials. The cover section and end frame define abutting openings. The end frame opening is circumscribed by a radial projection and the cover section opening is circumscribed by an axial flange. The radial projection is frictionally retained within the axial flange. A retaining ring is integrally secured to the cover section and holds the end frame to the cover section. Shear elements are provided by the retaining ring and cover section to substantially increase the shear force resistance capacity of the juncture between the cover section and the end frame.
