Patent ID: 7485815

Claim:
A mounting device for mounting a cylindrical capacitor on a connector element, comprising: a hollow body defining a continuous through-hole that axially penetrates the body for receiving and mounting the capacitor, the body comprising a lower region having means for fastening the body to the connector element, and defining a lower through-hole portion having a cylindrical inside surface with a diameter; a middle region defining a middle through-hole portion having a cylindrical inside surface with a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the lower through-hole portion, the cylindrical inside surfaces of the middle region and the lower region being bounded by a first inner shoulder between them; and an upper region defining an upper through-hole portion having a cylindrical inside surface with a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the middle through-hole portion, the cylindrical inside surfaces of the upper region and the middle region being bounded by a second inner shoulder between them, the upper region having a wall thickness which provides resilience, and the upper region having recesses formed along a periphery thereof to form resilient tongues.
