Lid element and housing device for using the lid element

A housing device for accommodating functional elements in its interior, comprising:

• a housing part having one side provided with an opening for accommodating the functional elements, and
• a lid element which can be connected to the housing part for closing the opening in the housing part, wherein,
• the lid element is formed in one piece as a molded part,
• the lid element comprises a base plate on which a plurality of lugs are formed which extend from the base plate, and
• the plurality of lugs are arranged on the base plate relative to the housing part in such a manner that the plurality of lugs, when the housing part and the lid element are put together, extend into indentations provided in sidewalls of the housing part after they have been plastically bent toward the housing part, the plurality of lugs extending into the sidewalls to secure the lid element to the housing part,
• the housing device further comprising a sealing element which can be elastically compressed between the housing part and the lid element when the housing part is connected to the lid element,
• wherein, when the housing part and the lid element are connected, the sealing element is elastically compressed between the housing part and the lid element to elastically connect the housing part and the lid element, and to seal the housing part and lid element against the entry of dirt and moisture into the housing part and lid element.
