Abstract

An electric appliance housing, especially for a consumption meter, includes a base part and a closure part which are each molded in one piece from synthetic material and which can be secured by a lead seal, in a closed position. The closure part can be snap-fixed to the base part. The base part passes through the closure part with a lead-seal carrier which is molded on in one piece and which carries an eyelet in its projecting region as a passage for a lead-seal wire.
