Abstract
The invention relates to a chamber, in particular a pump chamber, comprising a plate-shaped first half (10) and a plate-shaped second half (12). The first and second halves are connected to one another by a closed connecting seam (20) in a surface-to-surface relation, and at least one half has at least one aperture (14) lying within the connecting seam. Furthermore, at least the second half is thermally deformed within the closed connecting seam in such a manner that it is formed to bulge relative to the connecting surface with the first half such that a hollow space (30) is formed between the first and second halves. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a pump having a configuration as described above. In a third aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing a chamber as described above.
