  • Patent number: 5416292
    Abstract: The ignition distributor comprises a housing, in which a distributor rotor (4) is rotatably mounted, which comprises a first electrode (9) close to the axis of rotation (5) of the rotor, a second electrode (10) at that end of the rotor which is remote from the axis of rotation, and between said electrodes an electrical line (11), which connects the two electrodes. The housing is closed by a distributor cap (1), which is provided on its inside surface with a plurality of peripherally spaced apart stationary electrodes ( 3 ), which cooperate with the second electrode (10) of the distributor rotor, and also comprises a center electrode (2), which terminates at a small distance from and defines a spark gap with the first electrode (9) of the distributor rotor. One electrode of the pair consisting of the first electrode (9) of the distributor rotor and the center electrode (2) is pinlike and the other electrode (9) does not surround the pinlike electrode (2) or surrounds it around less than its entire periphery.

  • Patent number: 5078103
    Abstract: The distributor comprises a rotatably mounted rotor, which has close to its axis of rotation a first electrode and has at its end that is remote from the axis of rotation a second electrode, which is connected by an electric line to the first electrode. The distributor also comprises a housing, which is closed by a cap, which is provided on its inside peripheral surface with a plurality of peripherally spaced apart fixed electrodes for cooperating with the second electrode of the roto. The cap is further provided on its inside surface with a center electrode, which terminates at a distance from the first electrode of the rotor to form a spark gap therewith. To form a positive joint with the cap the embedded portion of the center electrode has a non-cylindrical peripheral surface, which is rounded and free of any edge.
