  • Patent number: 8890396
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spark plug for a gas-fired internal combustion engine, and Includes a metallic body, with an insulator fastened in the body. A central electrode, leads through the insulator and includes a protruding end of a precious metal alloy. An annular ground electrode is fastened to the body and surrounds the end of the central electrode which, at the inside thereof facing the central electrode is provided with a precious metal or with a precious metal alloy. The mutually facing surfaces of the central electrode and ground electrode formed by the precious metal or the precious metal alloy are coaxially disposed cylinder surfaces. A cap is provided and attached to the body and which, after installation of the spark plug into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, shields the central electrode and the ground electrode from the combustion chamber.
