Alternating current generator with radio noise suppressing capacitor

Claim 1

A radio noise surpressor device for use with an AC generator for charging a battery, comprising: a bracket, said bracket being a portion of a housing of said AC generator; a hollow socket located in a portion of said bracket, said socket including an interior having a truncated conical-shaped inner surface; an insulated cylindrical capacitor, said capacitor including a first terminal located at a first end and a second terminal located at second end, said capacitor being positioned in said socket, said first terminal being oriented towards the interior of said socket; first conductor means positioned between said socket and said first terminal of said capacitor for electrically coupling said first terminal to said socket; second conductor means positioned between said second terminal of said capacitor and an output terminal of said generator for electrically coupling said second terminal to said output terminal; and water-proof packing means for mechanically retaining said capacitor in said socket and for preventing water from entering said socket, said packing means surrounding a portion of said capacitor and being located between said second conductor means and an exterior portion of said socket.
