Appeal No. 1997-2426
Application 08/087,849
members including a bottom wall portion and side wall portions extending from the bottom wall portion
to define an interior space of the case member;
each of the case members receiving a magnetic body in the interior space of the case member,
each of the case members including a positioner for extending into the notch of the respective magnetic
body when the magnetic body is received in the interior space of the case member, each of the
magnetic bodies being movable in its respective case member and being prevented from moving out of
the interior space of the case member when the positioner of the case member extends into the notch of
the magnetic body; and
a single leaf spring member acting between the bottom wall portion of one of the case members
and the magnetic body in the interior space of the one case member and for (i) pressing the abutment
surfaces of the magnetic body in the interior space of the one case member into contact with the
abutment surfaces of the other magnetic body and (ii) pressing the other magnetic body into contact
with the bottom wall portion of the other case member when the case members are closed and the
magnetic bodies extend around an electric cable to form a magnetic circuit to absorb electric noise on
an electric cable, said single leaf member being separate from the magnetic bodies and the case
members and being the only spring member associated with said electric noise absorber, said single leaf
member being located in the interior space of the one case member and having a first portion abutting
against the bottom wall portion of the one case member and a second portion abutting against the
magnetic body in the interior space of the one case member.
44. An electric noise absorber for attenuating electric noise on an electric cable, said noise
absorber comprising:
two bodies of magnetic material, each magnetic body having abutment surfaces which contact
the abutment surfaces of the other magnetic body to form a magnetic circuit, each of the magnetic
bodies having a notch located at one end of the magnetic body;
two case members which are relatively movable into a closed position, each of the case
members including a bottom wall portion and first and second end wall portions extending from the
bottom wall portion, the first and second end wall portions being located opposite from each other, the
first end wall portion of one case member having a notched opening which cooperates with the
corresponding notched opening of the first end wall portion of the other case member to form a first
opening through which an electric cable extends when the case members are closed, the second end
wall portion of one case member having a notched opening which cooperates with the corresponding
