A housing, in particular a pot-shaped filter housing. To connect housing pot 10 and cover 11, a joint consisting of closure elements such as locking clamps or bow clamps 16 is proposed which can be attached at the periphery of the housing via receivers 18. As there are more receivers 18 provided on the housing than locking clamps 16 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 27 of the tension levers 17 of the locking clamps has to be considered when mounting the locking clamps 16. It is thus possible to provide housings for any field of use with variable receivers for the closure elements. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a housing which can be adjusted to the space available for installation as flexibly as possible.
This and other objects of the invention are achieved by providing a housing comprising a housing pot, a cover and at least one closure element for connecting the housing pot and the cover.
A plurality of receivers are provided on one of the housing pot and the cover, and at least one engagement surface is provided on the other of the housing pot and the cover.
The number of receivers is greater than the number of closure elements and each closure element is capable of being optionally engaged with different receivers and engagement surfaces.
The housing according to the invention is provided with receivers both on the cover and on the housing pot which are suitable for mounting the closure elements.
The closure elements can, for example, consist of clip locks.
There are, however, more receivers placed on the housing than closure elements which are required for fixing the cover on the housing pot.
When fixing the cover onto the housing pot and within the respective installation chamber, the mechanic is free to choose the respective receivers which are best accessible for mounting the closure elements.
Thus, it is, of course, necessary to distribute the closure elements over the entire periphery.
It is not possible to position all closure elements within an angular sector of, for example, 45 degrees, for then a tight connection between cover and housing pot would no longer be assured.
Providing a surplus of receivers is additionally of advantage because the number of closure elements used can be adapted to the respective stress imposed on the filter housing.
In case of excessive vibrating stress imposed on the filter housing, it is, for instance, conceivable to provide more closure elements than in filter housings used, for example, in industrial plants.
It is expedient to separate the housing pot and the cover in such a manner that it is possible to place the cover onto the housing pot in various positions
