  • Ignition apparatus having a spring for electrically connecting a spark plug
    Patent number: 10907605
    Abstract: An ignition apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a spark plug, an ignition coil with a voltage connection, and a spring for electrically connecting the spark plug to the voltage connection. A continuous spring wire in the form of external turns extends from an ignition coil-side end of the spring to a spark plug-side end of the spring. The spring wire at the spark plug-side end continues in the form of internal turns within the external turns in a direction toward the ignition coil-side end.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 2, 2021
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Christian Mayer, Peter Pawlik

  • Method and apparatus for detecting a disconnection in the charge line between a generator and an electric battery in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6469475
    Abstract: In a method for detecting a disconnection in the charge line between a generator and an electric battery in a motor vehicle, the generator output voltage is measured and is evaluated at least with respect to the ripple voltage. A disconnection in the charge line is detected when the ripple voltage has reached or exceeded a predetermined ripple threshold value, preferably after the generator output voltage has reached or exceeded a predetermined load shedding threshold value.
