Abstract

A rotary machine having a machine body, and a cover covering an open end of the body. The cover is mounted and fixed to the machine body by mounting hooks formed as elastic plate-shaped members on the peripheral edge of the cover which is adjacent to the open end, and the distal end portion of each hook projects from the peripheral edge and has a folded end. Mounting portions at the open end of the machine body allow the hooks to be inserted therein. Therefore, the cover can be assembled onto the machine body with ease, at improved efficiency, and at low cost.
