  • the recesses 202 are separated from one another by means of intermediate webs 204 or intermediate walls 204.
  • the recesses 202 are divided into at least two groups and/or mixed groups of recesses.
  • FIG 4 and Figure 5 are recesses 202ac of a mixed group of recesses 202 shown, which (i) in the manner of a through opening on the front 210 and on the back 212 in a free environment of the Cover 206 open and channel the air (feature of a first group of recesses 202a) and (ii) have longitudinal extensions and with these longitudinal extensions define longitudinal axes 208, which run essentially along an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the cover 206 (see also Figures 2 and 7 ; Feature of a third group of recesses 202c).
  • further recesses 202bc of a further mixed group of recesses 202 are shown, which (i) are closed in the manner of a blind hole in the area of the back 212 of the cover 206 and block the air (feature of a second group of recesses 202b) and ( ii) have longitudinal extensions and define longitudinal axes 208 with these longitudinal extensions, which run essentially along an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the cover 206 (see also Figures 2 and 8th ; Feature of a third group of recesses 202c).
  • Recesses 202ac of a mixed group of recesses 202 are shown, which (i) open into a free environment of the cover 206 in the manner of a through opening on the front 210 and on the back 212 and channel the air (feature of a first group of recesses 202a) and ( ii) have longitudinal extensions and define longitudinal axes 208 with these longitudinal extensions, which run essentially along an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the cover 206 (see also Figures 2 and 8th ; Feature of a third group of recesses 202c).
  • further recesses 202ad of a further mixed group of recesses 202 are shown, which (i) open in the manner of a through opening on the front 210 and on the back 212 into a free environment of the cover 206 and channel the air (feature of a first Group of recesses 202a) and (ii) have longitudinal extensions and with these longitudinal extensions define longitudinal axes 208 which are oblique, in particular at an angle W in the range of 20° to 60°, preferably in the range of 30° to 50°, especially preferably from 45 ° to an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the cover 206 (compare Figure 9; feature of a fourth group of recesses 202d).
  • the recesses 202 are separated from one another by intermediate webs 204.
  • the arrangement of the aforementioned recesses 202 relative to one another within the cover 206 or within the plurality 200 of recesses 202 can be designed differently.
  • Figure 4 are the recesses 202ac or 202bc of a mixed group of recesses 202 individually and/or in fields (in blocks, for example as single, double or multiple groups) between recesses 202bc or 202ac of a further mixing group arranged individually and/or in fields (blocks) over the surface of the Cover 206 arranged.
  • the recesses 202ac or 202bc of a mixed group of recesses 202 are arranged in strips (in rows, for example as a single, double or multiple row) between recesses 202bc or 202ac arranged in strips of a further mixing group over the surface of the cover 206.
  • the recesses 202ac or 202ad of a mixed group of recesses 202 are arranged as a multiple row next to a multiple row of recesses 202ad or 202ac of a further mixed group over the surface of the cover 206.
  • Figure 7 shows a longitudinal section through a recess 202ac with a sound course.
  • Figure 8 shows a longitudinal section through a recess 202ad with a sound course.
  • the recess 202ac in Figure 7 belongs to a mixed group of recesses 202, which (i) open into a free environment of the cover 206 in the manner of a through opening on the front 210 and on the back 212 and channel the air (feature of a first group of Recesses 202a) and (ii) have longitudinal extensions and with these longitudinal extensions define longitudinal axes 208 which run essentially along an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the cover 206 (feature of a third group of recesses 202c).
  • the recess 202ad in Figure 8 belongs to a mixed group of recesses 202, which (i) open into a free environment of the cover 206 in the manner of a through opening on the front 210 and on the back 212 and channel the air (feature of a first group of recesses 202a) and (ii) Have longitudinal extensions and with these longitudinal extensions define longitudinal axes 208 which are oblique, in particular at an angle W in the range of 20° to 60°, preferably in the range of 30° to 50°, particularly preferably of 45°, to an orthogonal 118 to the main extension plane of the Cover 206 runs (feature of a fourth group of recesses 202d).
  • the ones in the Figures 7 and 8 The sound curves shown use dashed arrows to indicate how sound radiates from the interior 116 of the device 100 directly through the recesses 202ac or 202ad into the external environment 2 and/or is reflected at the intermediate webs 204. From comparing the sound curves of the two Figures 7 and 8 It can be seen that the recess 202ac in Figure 7 for direct sound radiation has more open passage area D (bracket) than the recess 202ad in Figure 8 . It can also be seen that the reflected sound at the recess 202ac Figure 7 runs similarly in all directions.
  • the reflected sound at the recess 202ad Figure 8 runs clearly upwards and is distracting; There is also a total reflection of sound back into the interior 116 of the housing 102.
  • the oblique recesses 202 and their intermediate webs 204 direct the emerging sound from a used, for example inhabited, outdoor environment 2 Device 100 away, whereby the device 100 is perceived as significantly quieter and more pleasant.
