First Claim
1. A housing for a mirror actuator, comprising a first housing member (10), provided with at least one first mounting opening (14′
- , 15′
, 16′
, 17′
), and a second housing member (50), provided with at least one second 6 mounting opening (74, 77), while in a mounted condition of the first and second housing member (10, 50) the respective mounting openings (14′
, 15′
, 16′
, 17′
, 74, 77) are in line, and in the mounted condition a connecting means (80) is arranged through the two mounting openings (14′
, 15′
, 16′
, 17′
, 74, 77), characterized in that the first housing member (10) is provided with a first edge (11), that the second housing member (50) is provided with a second edge (51), while the first and second edge (11, 51) in mounted condition line up with each other and cooperate to surround an adjusting mechanism to be placed in the housing, and in that the housing is further provided with a sealing edge (60) of elastic design which in mounted condition is arranged between the two edges (11, 51), such that in mounted condition the two housing members (10, 50) are mounted under a mutual bias through the sealing edge (60).
