  • Method of making spark ignition electrode assembly
    Patent number: 6015322
    Abstract: A spark ignition electrode assembly includes an electrode wire and an electrically insulative support member receiving and positioning the electrode wire proximate to the gas burner. The electrically insulative support member includes an upper body portion covering the electrode wire. The upper body portion contains a spark ignition passageway for communicating spark ignition discharge between the electrode wire and the gas burner. A ceramic material is formed to define the electrically insulative support member having an electrode wire receiving opening for receiving and positioning an electrode wire proximate to the gas burner and a spark ignition passageway for communicating spark ignition discharge between the electrode wire and the gas burner. The electrode wire is inserted in the electrode wire receiving opening and then the formed ceramic material including the inserted electrode wire is fired.
