  • Patent number: 11545713
    Abstract: A housing, particularly a battery housing, includes at least one first housing part, at least one second housing part, and at least one connecting member connecting the first housing part to the second housing part. The first housing part and the second housing part are configured such that, in an interconnected state, they separate a housing interior space from an environment situated on the other side of the first housing part and the second housing part. The housing is characterized in that the at least one connecting member is configured as a profile rail engaged with the first housing part and with the second housing part.
