Abstract: A glow plug which includes an intermediate shaft (3) inserted into a shaft hole (43) of a metal shell (4) and having a connecting end part (36) of a rear end part (32) protruding from a rear end surface (48). An insulating member (6) is arranged between the intermediate shaft (3) and the shaft hole (43) of the metal shell (4). The insulting member (6) has a tapered part (63) which abuts a tapered part (47) provided in the metal shell (4). The insulating member (6) is pressed into position by a connecting terminal (5) fixed to the connecting end part (36) to assuredly hold the intermediate shaft (3) in a rear end part (45) of the metal shell (4) and to thereby prevent a deflection or bend of the intermediate shaft (3). Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing the glow plug.

Abstract: An electrical socket for powering an electrical/electronic accessory device having an electrical plug that is received in the socket, comprising: an electrically conductive socket well for slidably receiving the electrical plug of the electrical/electronic device; an electrical connector portion disposed distally on the socket well and comprising an insulator fastened to the socket well at a distal end thereof and having at least two electrical terminals for connecting to a vehicle electrical power source; a plurality of first electrical contacts disposed at a distal end of said socket well and extending radially and proximally from the center of said well and being electrically connected to a first of said electrical terminals of said electrical connector portion; a second of said electrical terminals of said electrical connector portion being electrically connected to said socket well; and said plurality of first electrical contacts being adapted to electrically slidably engage with an inner periphery of a

Abstract: The present invention provides a glow plug capable of preventing a deformation or eccentricity of the coil, thereby improving a durability of the coil and preventing a variation in temperature-rising characteristic. Also, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing the glow plug.
