  • Patent number: 6583706
    Abstract: The invention relates to a toroidal choking coil comprising a substantially annular core, a winding around the core, and a fixing device arranged around the core substantially between the core and the winding. The toroidal choking coil is characterized in that the fixing device comprises a hoop-like collar and one or more fasteners resting on the collar for attaching the toroidal choking coil onto fastening surfaces of a mounting site. The collar and the fasteners resting on the collar are manufactured from one piece. An inner rim that fastens against the core of the collar comprises several adjacent wavefronts that are transversely located with respect to an outer surface of the core and that comprise successive valleys and protrusions.
