Abstract
A covering system is provided having a cover, with a first mounting geometry at least partially running circumferentially around the cover, a carrier plate designed to attach the cover, a seal at least partially running circumferentially around the carrier plate, and an elastic mounting geometry that is formed on the seal. The first mounting geometry and the elastic mounting geometry are designed and arranged for positive engagement with each other.
Claims14
A covering system comprising
- a cover;
- the cover having a first mounting geometry provided at least partially around a circumference thereof;
- a carrier plate adapted to be attached to the cover, the carrier plate including a seal;
- and
- the seal being an elastic mounting geometry at least partially running circumferentially around the carrier plate,
- wherein a portion of each of the first mounting geometry and the elastic mounting geometry are in positive engagement with each other,
- wherein the elastic mounting geometry further includes a lip that protrudes at an angle from one end of the seal, such that the lip is angled away from the cover,
- wherein the cover is a single, monolithic element having a U-shaped cross-section,
- wherein the carrier plate is partially mounted inside the cover in a space formed by the U-shaped cross-section,
- wherein the carrier plate comprises a further seal at least partially running circumferentially around the carrier plate, and
- wherein the further seal has a sealing surface comprising a groove.
