Appeal No. 1997-2426
Application 08/087,849
notched opening of the second end wall portion of the other case member to form a second opening
through which an electric cable extends when the case members are closed;
each of the case members receiving a magnetic body, each of the case member including a
positioner for extending into the notch of the respective magnetic body when the magnetic body is
received in the case member, each of the magnetic bodies being movable in its respective case member
and being prevented from moving out of the case member when the positioner of the case member
extends into the notch of the magnetic body;
the case members including engagement means for retaining the case members in their closed
position; 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 spring 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
spring 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.
50. 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 formed therein, at least one of the magnetic bodies having a rectangular contact
side surface area, the rectangular contact side surface area of the one magnetic body having first and
second end portions located adjacent to opposite ends of the one magnetic body and a central portion
located between the opposite end portions;
two case members which are relatively movable between an open position and a closed
position, each of the case members including a bottom wall portion and side wall portions extending
