  • Ignition distributor for an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 5351670
    Abstract: An ignition distributor has a hollow housing. A distributor cap having a caved portion that extends in the housing is mounted on one end of the housing. The other end of the housing supports a rotation shaft. An ignition coil is disposed in the caved portion of the distributor cap. A rotor electrode of a distributor section is connected to the shaft, and rotates around the caved portion of the distributor cap. Side electrodes are arranged to face the rotor electrode with its rotation. Thus, the space surrounding the ignition coil is fully utilized to arrange the distributor section. This results in a compact ignition distributor.
