Abstract (en)

A housing (5) for an automobile latch or latch actuator, comprising two hollow shells which are arranged to mate along mutually-opposed edge surfaces of open faces of the shells thereby to form a closed housing, characterised in that at least one of the shells (40) has at least one opening (10) for an arm (15) to pass through between the latch or actuator and an exterior control, and in that one of the shells has internal integral locking formations (20) which are complementary with corresponding internal integral locking formations on the other shell when they are in mating engagement such that the shells are interlockable with a push fit and are then resistant mechanically to mutual separation without destruction of the integral formations. <IMAGE>
