Abstract

An assembly comprises a circular panel; an annular body; and an elastomer ring. The annular body has a panel seat surrounded by a lateral surface having a ring shaped outer groove bounded in a first axial direction by a first outer shoulder and bounded in an opposing, second axial direction by a second outer shoulder. Adjoining the first outer shoulder is a guide surface having a radius monotonically increasing with separation from the first shoulder. The circular panel has an outer lateral surface having a peripheral inner groove extending radially inwards. The two inner shoulders have a convex contour in which the rotational axis of the circular panel extends. The elastomer ring is clamped between both inner shoulders and both outer shoulders, whereby a shifting of the circular panel out of the annular body is prevented up to a limit loading.
