Patent number: 9147522Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an ignition coil for use in an internal combustion engine, offering improved water drainage performance, while achieving high waterproof performance with controlled entry of water in a plug hole. A high-voltage generating section 3 that generates a high voltage is housed inside a coil case 4. A plug hole seal 5 closes an opening in a plug hole 2 in which an ignition plug 21 is mounted. The ignition coil further includes a space portion 6 placed on an outer side portion of the high-voltage generating section 3 and an air path 9 for venting air between the space portion 6 and the plug hole 2. The space portion 9 has an open lower surface (an entirely open surface facilitates demolding).Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignees: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Makio Takahashi, Takanobu Kobayashi, Yoichi Anzo, Gakuji Moriya, Makoto Kurahashi

Patent number: 8922314Abstract: An auxiliary core portion and a main core portion, including a magnet if the magnet is attached, are covered by a resin film or an elastomer film and fixed as a single assembly. In this state, a coil is attached to the assembly and a side core portion is assembled to the assembly. The auxiliary core portion and the main core portion, including the magnet if it is attached, can be supplied, as the single assembly, to an automated assembly line for ignition coils. It is not necessary to position such components on the assembly line. Thus, the workability of the automated assembly can be enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Takanobu Kobayashi, Yoichi Anzo, Makio Takahashi

Publication number: 20080029074Abstract: An ignition coil device for an internal combustion engine, which has a superior waterproof property and can be reduced in size and easily produced. An annular seal rubber (2) is mounted to the lower side of an ignition coil device (1). An annular projection (2a) is provided on a part of the seal rubber and is pressed against the inner diameter surface of a plug hole. A substantially L-shaped groove for forming an air path (4) is formed in a part of a coil case (1a). The air path (4) is formed by mounting the seal rubber (2) into the groove, enabling the inside and the outside of the plug hole to communicate with each other. A thin film resin member (3) with a porous structure being permeable to gas but not to liquid is fixedly bonded to an inlet (4a) of the air path (4) to prevent water from entering the plug hole. Those features realize the ignition coil device for the internal combustion engine, which has a superior waterproof property and can be reduced in size and easily produced.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: February 7, 2008Inventors: Yoichi Anzo, Makio Takahashi, Takanobu Kobayashi
