1. A housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular a power inverter housing,
wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through-openings and with a sealing bead, which comprises an elastomeric material,
wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover,
wherein the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover, and
wherein at least one portion of at least one deformation limiting element extends along the circumferential direction of a fastening means through-opening by a circumferential angle of at least 160° around the fastening means through-opening.
 
19. Housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular a power inverter housing,
wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through-openings and with a sealing bead, which comprises an elastomeric material,
wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover,
wherein the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover,
wherein at least one portion of at least one deformation limiting element is arranged on a side of a fastening means through-opening that faces away from the sealing bead and
wherein the at least one portion of the at least one deformation limiting element is arranged between the fastening means through-opening and an outer rim of the housing cover.
 
20. Housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular a power inverter housing,
wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through-openings and with a sealing bead, which comprises an elastomeric material,
wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover,
wherein the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover,
wherein on the housing cover a plurality of deformation limiting elements are provided, which extend along a peripheral direction of the housing cover and are spaced at a distance from one another along the peripheral direction.
 
21. Housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular a power inverter housing,
wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through-openings and with a sealing bead, which comprises an elastomeric material,
wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover,
wherein the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover,
wherein the deformation limiting element comprises a projection extending in a longitudinal direction of the deformation limiting element.
 
22. Housing cover for fixing to a housing, in particular a power inverter housing,
wherein the housing cover is provided with a plurality of fastening means through-openings and with a sealing bead, which comprises an elastomeric material,
wherein the sealing bead is arranged on a seal bearing surface of the housing cover,
wherein the housing cover comprises at least one deformation limiting element, which projects over the seal bearing surface in the same direction as the sealing bead and limits a deformation of the sealing bead in the assembled state of the housing cover,
wherein a recess on the outside of the housing cover facing away from the seal bearing surface is associated with the deformation limiting element.
