Abstract

A booster housing, especially for vehicle brake systems, and a method of assembling such a booster housing in which a booster housing (20) has two housing bottoms (26, 28) which are each disposed at one side of a movable partition (60). Connecting members (32) on at least one of the housing bottoms (26) are each tightly crimped around one fastening hole (30). Spacers (50) extend between the two housing bottoms (26, 28) as well as through the partition (60). Each of the connecting members (32) is provided with a recess (40) into which an end portion (52) of the associated spacer (50) is inserted and crimped. The booster housing (20) is assembled by inserting an end portion (52) of a spacer (50) into the recess (40) of one connecting member (32), passing the connecting member (32) through a fastening hole (30), and simultaneously crimping the connecting member (32) with the housing bottom (26) and the spacer (50).
