  • Patent number: 12480592
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus, in particular a valve apparatus, for sealingly connecting to an opening of a carrier component. The apparatus includes a base body made of a hard component for the connection to an edge of a carrier component delimiting an opening, and a sealing device made of a soft component. The base body comprises at least one connection passageway configured as an undercut for the form-fit connection to a correspondingly configured element of the soft component, and a lid element for covering the connecting region.
