Abstract
A capacitor body that is carried in a container is anchored within the container by a cup-shaped member that is disposed at opposite ends of the capacitor body. Each cup-shaped member includes a spike which engages the ends of the capacitor body to hold it in place. In a preferred embodiment, the spike is cylindrical and engages a hollow core having a bore that is hexagonal in cross-section.
Claims5
A capacitor assembly comprising a container having a bottom and an open end, a capacitor body carried in said container including a centrally disposed hollow core having a bore composed of a plurality of substantially flat intersecting surfaces forming a hexagon and a cup-shaped member carried on said bottom and having a centrally disposed spike extending into said hollow core and engaging said substantially flat intersecting surfaces forming a hexagon to lock said spike in place, means closing said open end, and means for electrically connecting said capacitor body to an electrical current.
