ABSTRACT:
A magnet array for mounting on an oil filter cartridge includes a pair of magnetic shunt end pieces. A plurality of magnets are aligned parallel to one another and extend between the magnetic shunt end pieces and contact internal faces of the magnetic shunt end pieces such that the magnetic shunt end pieces and the magnets are retained in a stable magnet array by the magnetic interaction between the magnetic shunt end pieces and the magnets. The magnetic shunt end pieces can be in a form of cylindrical end pieces such that a cylindrical magnet array is formed, can be in a form of triangular end pieces such that a triangular magnet array is formed, and can be in a form of rectangular end pieces such that a box-like magnet array is formed. Each of the triangular end pieces and the rectangular end pieces includes a concave mounting surface. A support bracket is provided for supporting the magnet array on an oil filter cartridge. Wires can be used to bind the magnetic shunt end pieces onto the magnets. The support bracket includes a magnet cover portion for covering the magnets in the magnet array. First and second end-piece cover portions extend from the magnet cover portion for covering first and second magnetic shunt end pieces. The magnet cover portion includes mounting strap reception slots for receiving a mounting strap for mounting the magnet array and the support bracket on a oil filter cartridge.
