Abstract:
An electric noise absorber for encompassing a circumference of an electric wire to absorb electric noise flowing through the electric wire, the electric noise absorber comprising:a pair of magnetic body parts which, when mated together, defining a hollow cylinder for encompassing a circumference of an electric wire; anda housing having two mating case halves, and each of the case halves housing one of the pair of magnetic body parts, and each case half having connecting members for retaining the case halves in a closed position in which the pair of magnetic body parts define the hollow cylinder;the case halves each having deformable circumferential walls, and the deformable circumferential walls being at least partially deformed by the magnetic body parts when the housing is in the closed position;at least a base surface of the deformable circumferential walls of each of the case halves having a convexly curved surface, and the convexly curved surfaces protrude toward one another when the case halves are in the closed position; andthe convexly curved surfaces and the deformable circumferential walls having an inherent resilience for urging abutting surfaces of the pair of magnetic body parts into contact with one another.
