HARVEY G. ALLMAN WWW/5% ATTORNEYS compartment.
United States Patent 3,219,864 SFARK PLUG CONNECTION Harvey G. Allman, 211 Houston Place, Kalamazoo, Mich. Filed Sept. 13, 1962, Ser. No. 223,341 1 Claim. (Cl. 313-51) This invention relates to an improved spark plug construction and, more particularly, it relates to improved means for providing a secondary spark gap between the cad-in wire from the distributor and the center electrode of the spark plug in addition to the gap which exists between the firing electrodes of the spark plug.
It is well known in the art that the provision of a secondary spark gap in series with the firing gap of a spark plug makes it possible to achieve a more intense spark in said firing gap. Among the advantages of the more intense spark are easier starting of the engine so equipped, a lesser tendency for the spark plug to become carbon or oil fouled, longer intervals of engine operation between spark plug cleaning or replacement, improved operation at high engine speeds, and smoother and more economical operation of the engine. So-called resistortype spark plugs are commercially available and are capable of giving the above-mentioned improvements in engine performance, but they are more expensive than conventional-type spark plugs. The art has suggested several mechanisms by which conventional spark plugs can be adapted to provide the secondary spark gap. Some of these have required structural modification of conventional plugs which is undesirable because of the skill, time and expense required to make such modifications. Other mechanisms that have been proposed do not require modification of existing conventional spark plugs and are adapted to be fitted to existing plugs as an accessory. However, such mechanisms generally have been of relatively complex, multipart construction requiring special parts and the use of specialized and relatively complicated tools in their construction. Such mechanisms have in some cases been relatively difficult to install, such installation requiring a number of individual steps and the use of several tools. In some cases, installation has involved modification or replacement of the terminal on the lead-in cable, thus adding to the cost of the installation. Also, such mechanisms have been of relatively large bulk thus accentuating the space problem in an engine compartment which already may be overcrowded. Further, such mechanisms because of their relatively high degree of complexity are often susceptible to damage through vibration or through disturbance by persons conducting repair or other work in the engine Installation, in some cases, requires the fixing of several parts together in a proper sequence thus increasing the possibility of incorrect installation by unskilled persons. For the above mentioned and other related reasons units for converting conventional spark plugs in order to obtain the advantages of so-called resistor-type spark plugs have been generally unsatisfactory.
Accordingly, the objects of this invention include:
(1) To provide an improved device for placing a secondary spark gap in series with the firing gap of a spark plug.
(2) To provide an improved spark gap device for a conventional spark plug which is of one-piece construction, which can be constructed of a variety of widely available materials and which can be inexpensively and rapidly produced.
(3) T oprovide an improved spark gap device for use on conventional spark plugs which can easily be manu- 3,219,864 Patented Nov. 23, 1965 ice factured to fit a wide variety of plug and lead-in cable configurations.
(4) To provide an improved spark gap device for use with conventional spark plugs which requires no modification of the spark plug or cable with which it is used, which can be rapidly and easily installed by unskilled personnel without the use of tools in a few simple motions, and which requires no adjustments during installation or during use.
(5) To provide an improved spark gap device adaptable to use with conventional spark plugs which will not add significantly to the bulk of either the spark plug or the lead-in cable, which will maintain a spark gap within an optimum range during use, and which will require virtually no maintenance, such maintenance as required consisting primarily of removing a damaged device and replacing same with a new one.
Other objects and purposes of the invention will be apparent to persons acquainted with devices of this general type upon reading the following specification and inspecting the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 is a central section of the spark gap device of the invention showing its connection to an end of a conventional spark plug and to a cable terminal.
FIGURE 2 is a central section of another embodiment of the invention and corresponds to a view taken along the line II-II of FIGURE 2a.
FIGURE 2a is a sectional view taken along the line IIaIIa of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 2b is a sectional view taken along the line IIbIIb of FIGURE 2a.
FIGURE 3 is a central section of still another embodiment of the invention.
FIGURE 4 is a central section of still another embodiment of the invention.
Referring to the drawings, FIGURE 1 shows the upper fragment of a typical, conventional-type spark plug 9 consisting of an insulating portion 10 and a conductor terminal 11 which is connected by conventional means (not shown) to the firing electrode of said spark plug. The terminal 11 is here shown as being of contoured cylindrical shape. The spark gap device 13 according to the invention is of one-piece, substantially cylindrical shape and is constructed of any suitable insulating material, which preferably is somewhat resiliently expandable, such as rubber. The terminal 11 is snugly received within a suitably contoured opening 14 in the lower end of the device 13. The opening 14 communicates with a preferably coaxial, circular spark gap chamber 16 in the device 13. It has been found that the length of said spark chamber 16 should be between about /s of an inch and about /2 of an inch for effective operation and the optimum spark chamber length is about of an inch. The upper end of said spark chamber communicates with a cable opening 17 in the upper end of the device 13. A cable 20, shown for purposes of illustration as consisting of a conductor 19 surrounded by insulation 18, is received within the opening 17, the conductor 19 being connected to a source of voltage, ordinarily the distributor of an automotive engine. Said cable 20 is here shown as having a cap 22 of conductive material which is connected to the current-carrying conductor 19. The cap 22 is snugly received in the opening 17 in the device 13. The cap 22 is shown here for purposes of illustration only and may be omitted in which case the end of the cable 20 is snugly received into the opening 17 whereby the uninsulated end of the conductor 19 communicates with the upper end of the spark gap chamber 16.
FIGURE 2 shows a modified embodiment of the invention which is adapted for use with a different type of cable terminal. The parts of the cable and the spark plug in this embodiment corresponding to those in the embodiment of FIGURE 1 will be designated with the same reference numerals with the suffix a added thereto. The spark gap device 33 is of one-piece construction and is made of insulating material, which preferably is resiliently expandable, such as rubber. The device 33 has an opening 34 in its lower end in which the plug terminal 11a is snugly received. A spark gap chamber 36 communicates with said opening 34, said spark gap chamber here being formed by a slot in said device 33, which slot is closed at its upper end and open at its lateral ends. The device 33 has an upper portion 35 of reduced external diameter which provides a shoulder 37. The upper portion 35 is joined to the lower portion of the device 33 by the web portions 40. The upper portion 35 may have the same shape as the upper portion of the terminal 11a of the spark plug 9a. The cable Zila has a cylindrical sleeve 38 thereon which is sleeved over the upper portion 35 of the spark gap device and which preferably abuts against the shoulder 37. Said sleeve 38 is generally constructed of a rigid conductive material and is electrically connected to the conductor 19a of said cable. Cable terminals, such as the sleeve 38, are well known in the art and commonly connect a spark plug cable, such as the cable 20a, to a spark plug terminal, such as the terminal 11a, by snug engagement of the inner wall of the sleeve 38 with the spark plug terminal. With the sleeve 38 attached to the device 33, as shown in FIG- URE 2, the lower end of the sleeve is adjacent to and communicating with the lateral ends of the spark chamber 36.
FIGURE 3 illustrates another modified embodiment of the invention herein disclosed. Parts of the cable and spark plug of FIGURE 3 which are common to the devices described above will be designated with the same reference numerals but with the suffix b added thereto.
In this case, the spark plug terminal consists of a threaded post 51 which is connected to and which may be integral with one of the firing electrodes of the spark plug 9b. A cylindrical spark gap device 53 constructed of an insulating and preferably somewhat resilient material, as aforesaid, has an opening 54 in its lower end into which said post 51 is snugly receivable. The opening 54 may be tapped to match the threads on the post 51, or more conveniently and if the spark gap device 53 is of suitably resilient material, said opening may be slightly radially smaller than said post, said post thereby being fixed in said opening by the resilient deformation of the wall of said opening about the threads of said post. The upper end of the post 51 communicates with the spark chamber 56 which opens through the upper face of the device 53. The opening 54 and the spark chamber 56 may conveniently constitute a straight-sided bore coaxial with the central axis of the device 53. The radially outer surface of the device 53 may at the upper end thereof duplicate the silhouette of the terminal 11a of FIGURE 2 or more conveniently may be straight sided and of radius equal to or slightly greater than the terminal 11a of FIGURE 2. A cable 20b comprised of a conductor 1% and a coaxial surrounding insulator 18b is terminated by a conductive sleeve 38b which is in electrical contact with the conductor 1917.
Because it is rather common in the manufacture of spark plugs to employ means, such as the post 51 shown in FIGURE 3, to fix a terminal such as the terminal 11a of FIGURE 2 to a spark plug, it will be seen that the embodiment of FIGURE 3 may advantageously be used in the manufacturing stage to produce spark plugs having the advantages of resistor-type spark plugs in cases where large stocks of partially constructed ordinary plugs, tooling costs, or other problems make undesirable the production of usual types of resistor spark plugs.
It may be desirable to be able to adjust the length of the spark gap chamber. FIGURE 4 discloses one suitable way by which this may be accomplished. Here, the spark gap device 61 consists of two parts 62 and 63 which are threadedly connected so that the effective length of the spark gap chamber 64 can be adjusted.
To install the spark gap device 13 of FIGURE 1, any devices which were previously used to join the cable 20 to the spark plug terminal 11 are removed therefrom. The device 13 is placed over the spark plug terminal 11 so that the opening 14 snugly surrounds the terminal 11. The cable 20, which is terminated by the cap 22 or by the terminal end of the conductor 19, is placed into and is snugly surrounded by the wall of the opening 17 and the installation is complete.
The spark gap device 33 of FIGURE 2 is installed by first removing the sleeve 38 from the spark plug terminal 11a so that the opening 34 snugly surrounds the terminal 11a. The device 33 is then placed on said terminal 11a so that the opening 34 snugly surriunds the terminal 11a. The sleeve 38 is then placed around the upper end portion 35 of the device 33 abutting the shoulder 37 so that said sleeve snugly surrounds said upper portion.
The spark gap device 53 (FIGURE 3) may be installed on the spark plug 9b by first removing any nuts or terminations which may be afiixed to the post 51. The device 53 is then placed on the post 51 so that the opening 54 snugly surrounds said post. The conductive sleeve 38b is then slipped over the device 53 so that the device 53 is snugly retained therein.
In operation, the spark gap devices provide a secondary spark gap between the lead-in wire from the distributor and the central electrode of the spark plug so that the improved operation mentioned above can be achieved. The operation of the spark plug is conventional and need not be detailed.
While certain particular preferred embodiments have herein been utilized to illustrate the invention, it will be recognized that the basic concept of the invention may be embodied in a wide variety of other specific embodiments and accordingly the invention shall be understood as including such variations excepting as expressly stated otherwise in the hereinafter appended claim.
What is claimed is:
