  • Patent number: 6856227
    Abstract: A transformer for an igniter, in which a primary coil and a secondary coil are wound around a bobbin, is composed of a plurality of disk-shaped partition walls disposed on the bobbin, around which the primary coil and the secondary coil are wound, so as to protrude from all circumferential surface of the bobbin in a radial direction of the bobbin and to form a plurality of coil winding grooves in layers, and a plurality of cut-out portions functioning as a coil taking-in portion and a plurality of coil delivery portions of the disk-shaped partition walls. Therefore, the stabilization of a winding operation is obtained, the loss of coils due to the bending of the coils can be prevented, films of coils can be protected, a small-sized transformer for an igniter can be obtained, and an automatic winding operation can be performed.

  • Patent number: 6680575
    Abstract: A lamp holder includes a fit recess for a lamp plug-fitted purpose, a high-voltage side terminal arranged at any one of a central section of the fit recess and a peripheral section surrounding the central section of the fit recess, a low-voltage side terminal arranged at the other, an insulation seal member insulating between the low-voltage side terminal and the high-voltage side member, and at least one projection projected outwardly from an outer peripheral wall of the insulation seal member as to make into contact with an inner peripheral wall of a fit section of the lamp plug side.

  • Patent number: 6290526
    Abstract: A lamp socket has a socket body with a plugging section in which a lamp plug is removably plugged. In the plugging section, there are a central terminal and a side terminal. An insulation seal member provides electrical isolation between the central terminal and the side terminal and is prevented from dislodging when the lamp plug is removed from the socket body by forming a structure from at least one of the central terminal and the insulation seal member which are adapted to fit into one another. Thus, the removal of the insulation seal member when the lamp plug is plugged out of the socket body can be prevented by the central terminal of the socket body and/or the insulation seal member itself. Therefore, there is no need to install an additional component such as a stopper. Thus, the number of components and its manufacturing cost can be reduced compared with a conventional lamp socket.
