Abstract
A housing, in particular a pot-shaped filter housing. To connect housing pot,and cover,, a joint consisting of closure elements such as locking clamps or bow clamps,is proposed which can be attached at the periphery of the housing via receivers,. As there are more receivers,provided on the housing than locking clamps,which are required for absorbing retention forces, it is possible to vary the exact fitting position of the locking clamps according to the respective space available for receiving and mounting the housing. This is essential, because the rotating radius,of the tension levers,of the locking clamps has to be considered when mounting the locking clamps,. It is thus possible to provide housings for any field of use with variable receivers for the closure elements.
