  • Patent number: 10109986
    Abstract: A prechamber spark plug for a gas-powered internal combustion engine, having a metallic body, an insulator, a center electrode, at least one ground electrode, a cap, and a sleeve. The cap is arranged at a front end of the spark plug and shields the center and ground electrodes from a combustion chamber after the prechamber spark plug is installed in the internal combustion engine, and the cap delimits a prechamber in which the center electrode and the ground electrode are located from the combustion chamber. The cap has at least one opening that permits gas exchange between the prechamber and the space outside of the prechamber. The cap is mounted on the sleeve, which surrounds a section of the body, contains external threads for screwing into the internal combustion engine, and is joined to the body. In addition, a method for manufacturing the aforementioned spark plug is described.
