## Abstract

A bearing carrier or a housing part includes a base body, a first component and at least one second component mounted in the base body, and a belt or a cable or a roving connected to the base body and to the first component and the second component such that the belt or the cable or the roving at least partially transmits forces that act on the first component to the second component. The first and second components may each be formed as rings having a cylindrical inner surface and an outer surface having a groove, and the element may pass through the grooves of the first and second components and be embedded in the base body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A bearing carrier or a housing part comprising:
a base body;
a first component and at least one second component mounted in the base body; and
a belt or a cable formed from a material different than a material of the base body and different from a material of the first component and different from a material of the second component,
wherein, when the bearing carrier is disconnected from other constructive units, the belt or the cable at least partially transmits forces applied against the first component to the at least one second component;
wherein the first component and the second component are permanently embedded within the material of the base body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 1, wherein the belt or the cable is slack when disconnected from the base body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 1,
wherein the first component and the second component each comprise a ring having a cylindrical inner surface and an outer surface having a groove, and
wherein the belt or the cable passes through the groove of the first component and the groove of the second component and is embedded in the base body.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 3, wherein the cylindrical inner surface of each of the first component and the second component is an outer ring of a bearing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 1, wherein the base body includes fiber-reinforced plastic.

### Claim 6

A bearing carrier or a housing part comprising:
a base body;
a first component and at least one second component mounted in the base body; and
a belt or a cable connected to the base body and to the first component and the second component such that the belt or the cable at least partially transmits forces that act on the first component to the second component,
wherein the element is slack before it is installed in the bearing carrier or the housing part, and
wherein the first component and the second component are permanently embedded within the material of the base body.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 6, wherein the belt or the cable is formed from a material different than a material of the base body and different from a material of the first component and different from a material of the second component.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 6,
wherein the first component and the second component each comprise a ring having a cylindrical inner surface and an outer surface having a groove, and
wherein the belt or the cable passes through the groove of the first component and the groove of the second component and is embedded in base body.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 8, wherein the cylindrical inner surface of each of the first component and the second component is an outer ring of a bearing.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 6, wherein the base body includes plastic that is reinforced by fibers.

### Claim 11

A bearing carrier or a housing part comprising:
a base body;
a first component and at least one second component mounted in the base body; and
a belt or a cable connected to the base body and to the first component and the second component such that the belt or the cable at least partially transmits forces that act on the first component to the second component; and
wherein the first component and the second component are permanently embedded within the material of the base body.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 11, wherein the belt or the cable is slack before it is installed in the bearing carrier or the housing part.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 11, wherein the belt or the cable is formed from a material different than a material of the base body and different from a material of the first component and different from a material of the second component.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 11,
wherein the first component and the second component each comprise a ring having a cylindrical inner surface and an outer surface having a groove, and
wherein the belt or the cable passes through the groove of the first component and the groove of the second component and is embedded in the base body.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 14, wherein the cylindrical inner surface of each of the first component and the second component is an outer ring of a bearing.

### Claim 16 (depends on 14)

The bearing carrier or the housing part according to claim 14, wherein the base body includes plastic that is reinforced by fibers.

### Claim 17 (depends on 11)

A transmission for a motor vehicle, or for a compressor or for an electric motor, including a bearing carrier or a housing part according to claim 11.
