SPARK PLUG.
Filed April 19, 1940 VENTOR I IN NELWLLE E PETERS 7 BY HENRY K. KING Maw Patented Oct. 28, 1941 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application April 19, 1940, Serial No. 330,5d6
10 Claims.
(Granted under the act of March 3, 1883, as
amended April 30, 1928; 370 0. G. 757) This invention relates to an improved spark plug, and specifically to a spark plug having a cause pre-ignition and without the electrical re-' 10 sistance becoming low enough to cause a shorting of the plug to ground. Reliable firing and--- long life is reasonably assured if a low temperature of the spark plug can be maintained.
It is anobject of this invention to provide a 15 spark plug utilizing the series gap principle and so constructed as to permit its use in modern high output engines.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a spark plug so constructed'that the tem- 20 perature over all portions of the plug will be maintained at'a low temperature under severe operating conditions.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a construction which will permit the use 2 of smaller diameter plugs with a consequent increase in thermal eiliciency, but with no loss in mechanical ruggedness and strength.
It is well known that in a laminated mica core Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing second embodiment of the invention; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged view of a fragment of Fig. 3, showing the details of the lower end of the plug.
Referring now to the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the plug is built up around the central spindle shank I, extending longitudinally thereof. A mica cigarette 2 surrounds the spindle shank throughout its length and protrudes for a certain distance below its lower end. A metal shell 3 contains the spark plug assembly. The upper portion of this shell is thin walled and spaced top of the shell. This space may be filled with a pile of mica washers, the upper end 8 of the shell 3 being spun over to maintain them in place. The space between the inner cigarette 2 and the outer cigarette 6 is filled with a pile of mica washers 2|, the upper end of the spindle shank I being flanged outwardly at 9. The mica washers 1 may be omitted, if desired. The thickened porconstruction the interspersing of metal washers 39. tion 4 of the shell is screw threaded to fit the between the mica washers provides an increased thermal conduction from the surface of the core in contact with the flames to the center shank which carries the heat away, but in such constandard threaded hole in the engine cylinder.
The lower end of the shell is partially closed by a member Ill having a hole extending through its center. Between the lower end of the spindle struction care has always been taken to prevent '88} shank I and the member I0 is located an aselectrical flashover, due to the use of the metal washers, and the regular spark gap was provided elsewhere. of gaps between pins, rings, or other intermediate characteristics. However, such devices are subject tolocal overheating and cause pre-ignition in high output engines. The device of this inven- 'tion successfully combines the advantages of both types and eliminates some of the electrical disadvantages of the parallel gap type while eliminating the thermal disadvantages of the series p yp Referring now to the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of one embodi- 0 and the cigarette 8. Into this space an insulating ment of the improved spark plug of this inven-' tion, taken along its longitudinal axis.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a fragment of Fig. 1, showing the details of the lower end of the spark plug.
It is also well known that a series v metal washers I2. "metallic paths, gives certain desirable electrical- 9. central hole through each of the mica. washers sembly of washers forming a series of spark gaps. The assembly consists of a series of mica washers I I, between which are interspersed a series of It will be noted that the is of a larger diameter than that through the metal washers, thus providing a series of air gaps bridging the distance between the lower end of the spindle shank and the member I0, across 45 each of which sparking will occur.
The mica washers fit snugly against the cigarette 6. However, the outer diameter of the metal washers is small enough that a considerable annular gap is left between each metal washer compound I3 is placed. The lower outer corner of each metal washer is rounded at I4 to increase the distance between this portion ofthe washer and the upper corner of the adjacent at this edge, thus preventing the occurrence of any sparking at this point. The upper outer corner of each metal washer is smoothed oil and siightly rounded, so that the upper surface of v the washer is flat so as to provide the maximum amount of bearing surface for the superimposed mica washer, thus preventing breakage of the mica washer.
In the second embodiment of the invention shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the central spindle shank I extends below the lower end of the shell and terminates at its lower end with a strong outwardly turned flange l5. The upper portion of the plug assembly is constructed in the same manner as previously described. The lower porfiguration found in the outer portions of the metal washers of the previous embodiment is here found in the inner portions of the washers. The outer diameter of the metal washers in this embodiment is larger than that of the corresponding mica washers. The mica washers fit snugly against the inner cigarette 2, whereas the central hole. through each of the metal washers is large enough to leave a central annular space between the cigarette and the metal washer, which space is filled with insulating compound l3, as in the previous embodiment. The lower inner edge ill of each metal washer is rounded off in the same manneras was the lower outer edge I in the previous embodiment.
The upper metal washer of the series fits snu ly against the metal of the shell to provide a good grounding connection.
Fitting snugly down upon the assemblage of washers is a conical member I! which fits with a driving fit around the inner cigarette 2.

' If desired, the pile of mica washers I may be omitted as well as the upper portion of the shell, the shell being reduced in this case to the lower part 4, which merely acts as a bushing and a means of connecting the plug to the cylinder wall 2|. I
The metal washers must resist the temperatures and gases inthe engine, but they should also possess sufliciently good heat conductivity and have such a coefficient of expansion that upon heating of the sprak plug good thermal contact will be maintained along the directions shown by the arrows in Fig. 4. In other words, the metal washers should have a coefficient of expansion relative to that of the surrounding mafactured and/or used by or for the Government of the United States of America for governmental The member I! fits into a correspondingly shaped repurposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
