Abstract

A tuner housing according to the invention comprises a support for carrying electronic equipment and at least one cover part which is attached to the support. The support comprises at least one ground lug which extends through a hole of the cover part. The cover part is provided with a projection which projects into the hole and contacts the ground lug.

Claims (9)

1. A tuner housing comprising a support for carrying electronic equipment, and at least one cover part which is attached to the support, wherein the support comprises at least one ground lug which extends through a hole of the cover part and wherein the cover part is provided with a projection which projects into the hole and contacts the ground lug.

2. The tuner housing according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment of the cover part to the support is generated as a clamped connection with a certain clamping force in a direction perpendicular to the elongation of the ground lugs and wherein each projection contacts the corresponding ground lug opposite to the clamping force.

3. The tuner housing according to claim 1 , wherein the cover part comprises a cover wall and at least two clamping elements at opposite sides of the cover wall which are bent off from the cover wall in a direction to corresponding side walls of the support and which are in a resilient contact with the side walls.

4. The tuner housing according to claim 3 , wherein each clamping element comprises an outward bent end part and the side walls comprise at least one bulge for each clamping element wherein the end part is located next to the bulge opposite to the cover wall.

5. The tuner housing according to claim 3 , wherein each ground lug of the support is arranged at a border of the cover wall in the region of a clamping element and the corresponding projection contacts the ground lug on its inner face opposite to the clamping element.

6. The tuner housing according to claim 5 , wherein each ground lug is generated as a protrusion of a side wall of the support.

7. The tuner housing according to claim 1 , wherein the projection is generated as at least two triangular teeth.

8. The tuner housing according to claim 7 , wherein each tooth has the shape of a triangle and the angle of a top of the triangle is between 60 and 120°, preferably between 80 and 100°.

9. The tuner housing according to claim 7 , wherein the support is generated as a frame carrying the electronic equipment and wherein two cover parts are generated as a top cover and a bottom cover, which are clamp-connected to the frame, wherein the frame comprises the ground lugs and the top cover comprises the holes through which the ground lugs and the corresponding projections extend.
