Patent number: 5612586Abstract: A spark plug for internal combustion engines ensures the formation of two spark paths. These two spark paths are a pure air spark which jumps over from electrode to electrode, and a creepage spark which emerges from the central electrode, creeps along the insulator and then jumps over at the point at the smallest distance between the insulator and the earth electrode. The spark plug includes a cylindrical metal tube which forms a housing and in which the central electrode is arranged, surrounded centrally by an insulator. The earth electrodes mounted on the metal tube are partially bent so that an obtuse bending angle of the bent-over part with respect to the part of the earth electrode which extends in the direction of the rotationally symmetrical longitudinal axis is produced.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: March 18, 1997Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Walter Benedikt, Dittmar Klett, Dietrich Trachte, Hermann Kersting, Roland Mueller, Jochen Fischer
