摘要：A housing is described that may include a main portion having at least one wall defining an opening that may have a perimeter. The at least one wall may have a rib and an inner wall extending therefrom about the perimeter of the opening. The inner wall may have an air relief slot formed therein. The housing may further include a cover. The cover may have an edge defining a perimeter. The cover may include a rib extending from the edge about the perimeter of the cover. The main portion rib, the inner wall and the cover rib may cooperate for attachment of the cover to the main portion and to define an air chamber between the cover rib and the inner wall.

主权项：1. A method for manufacturing a housing including a main portion comprising at least one wall defining an opening having a perimeter, the at least one wall having a rib and an inner wall extending therefrom about the perimeter of the opening, and a cover having an edge defining a perimeter, the cover comprising a rib extending from the edge about the perimeter of the cover, the method comprising: abutting the main portion and the cover such that the inner wall of the main portion contacts an inner surface of the cover; and vibrating the cover relative to the main portion to at least partially melt the inner wall and/or the inner surface of the cover to attach the cover to the main portion; wherein the cover rib and inner wall define an air chamber therebetween, and the air chamber facilitates vibration of the cover relative to the inner wall to attach the cover to the inner wall by friction welding.
