  • Mounting device gas igniter
    Patent number: 7626141
    Abstract: A gas igniter comprising an heating element and a mounting bushing. The heating element includes an elongated high resistance cylindrical nose coil and two rear terminal elements electrically insulated from each other, and an input lead connected to each of the elements. The bushing is formed from a generally rigid electrically insulating material for mounting the heating element onto an external support structure. A passage in the bushing receives the heating element with a gap between the heating element and the passage, an adhesive mass in the gap secures the heating element into the bushing and a sheet metal mounting bracket is integrally formed with the insulating material of the bushing.
