Abstract

The invention is based on a tube mounting (10) having a motor mounting (14, 46), the latter having an opening (16) for a gear dome (40) as well as screw holes (18) disposed around the dome and an indentation (20, 52) in which a mounting tube (12, 50) is embedded and retained. It is proposed that the motor mounting (14, 46) is a shaped sheet-metal part, and the indentation (20, 52) extends between at least one screw hole (18) and the opening (16) for the gear dome (40), and adjacent to the opening (16) and transversely to the indentation (20, 52), a tab (24, 48) is cut out, which is curved contrary to the indentation (20, 52) and surrounds the mounting tube (12, 50).
