  • these perforations 30 are approximately circular, but can have almost any conceivable shape, for example quadrangular, hexagonal, or they can have a wide variety of shapes among one another in an unstructured manner.
  • the size of the perforations can also be chosen within a relatively wide range. About 28 perforations are provided for each side part, about 10-50 are advantageous. Through the perforations 30, the tonal sound that arises on the pressure side due to the side parts 7 is reduced.
