Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for conveying igniters which periodically connect an energy source providing supply to thereby promote combustion in an engine comprising: the combination of a casing having a plurality of inspecting apertures and a corresponding plurality of outlets communicating a cavity about a central axis. A conveyor is the rotary member adapted within the casing. The rotary member includes equally spaced conduits carrying removably fitted igniters in circular motion around the central axis of the casing. The rotary member being driven from a synchronizer of the engine whereby separate conduit is periodically connected, to a conductor being attached to the energy source while simultaneously providing access into the respective chambers or cylinders of the engine to cause combustion therein in timed relation with the engine rotations.

Abstract: A photo electric ignition system for an internal combustion engine is described which comprises a timing housing having an orifice on its upper surface admitting light beams from a radiant energy source.A light sensing photo electric cell is operated by an input frequency control rotor. The rotary member comprising a cone shaped rotor having an open end chamber with angularly spaced apart apertures extending there into. The rotor is mounted on a driving shaft which is connected to a crankshaft in the engine block. The open end chamber being rotated adjacent the orifice on the surface of the timer allows alternate focusing and blocking of light beams from radiant energy source on the photo cell so to operate the cell a number of degrees in synchronism with the engine rotations.The phased interval signal provided by the photo cell is transmitted to an amplifier which is interconnected to an ignition coil providing high voltage firings for the spark plugs in the engine cylinders.
