Patent ID: 8068327

Claim:
A holding device for at least one encased capacitor comprising a corresponding storage capacity, which is adapted for a use in electric drive engineering, said holding device comprising: a lower holding part and a top holding part, which can be integrated and separated, wherein a plurality of retaining clamps axially protruding from the top holding part are arranged centrically around the at least one encased capacitor; wherein the lower holding part comprises at least one opening for the at least one encased capacitor, said opening being surrounded by a sealing lip; so that when attaching or slipping the lower holding part on the least one capacitor and the top holding part: the retaining clamps are pressed against the at least one encased capacitor by an internal surface of the lower holding part; wherein a section of each of the at least one encased capacitor protruding from the respective opening of the lower holding part is exposed so as to lie directly in a cooling air flow of a device; and the sealing lip is placed on an external wall of the at least one encased capacitor so as to form a seal for preventing the penetration of solid or liquid materials inside the lower holding part.
