ABSTRACT:
A bracket for attaching a capacitor with an engagement portion to a motor having therein a keyhole with a rectangular portion and a circular portion. The bracket includes a first semicylindrical member having a first downwardly extending portion and a first hinge portion and a second semicylindrical member having a second downwardly extending portion and a second hinge portion. The first hinge portion and second hinge portion are engageable to form a hinge with an axis about which the semicylindrical members are pivotable to open and closed positions. When in the open position, the semicylindrical members permit the capacitor to be removed from the bracket. When in the closed position, the semicylindrical members define a cylinder having an axis and including a capacitor engagement portion for engaging the capacitor, thereby retaining the capacitor in the bracket. The downwardly extending portions define a mounting extension having an axis perpendicular to the cylinder axis and including a horizontally extending locking extension. The mounting extension is insertable into the motor keyhole so that when the bracket is pivoted about the mounting extension axis to a locked position, the locking extension prevents removal of the mounting extension from the keyhole. The bracket further including a locking projection portion to lock the bracket in the locked position when the bracket is pivoted about the mounting extension axis to the locked position.
