Abstract
A housing structure for a mobile element, such as a regulator drum, includes a dish that covers the housing and a backing plate with an opening large enough to accommodate the mobile element and one or more pliable tongues extending into the opening. The tongues hold the mobile element in the housing while still allowing the element to be removed without dismantling the housing or the element.
