The plug connector includes a conductive part that electrically connects a spark plug and a power supply member for power supply to the spark plug; and a rubber member that covers the conductive part. The spark plug has an insulator and a terminal electrode protruding toward the rear from a rear end of the insulator. The plug connector further includes a ring member arranged on an outer circumference of the rubber member.
Abstract:
An ignition device for an internal combustion engine includes an ignition coil designed as a transformer, the secondary winding thereof being designed to connect to a spark plug, an actuatable switch element connected in series with the primary winding of the ignition coil, and a controller connected to the primary winding of the ignition coil and the control input of the switching element. The controller has a voltage converter which provides a supply voltage for the ignition coil at the output thereof and which can be connected to a motor vehicle electrical system voltage, a controllable changeover switch for applying the supply voltage at either positive or negative polarity to the series circuit of the primary winding of the ignition coil and the switching element, depending on a control signal, and a control circuit which generates the control signal based on a phase of the ignition process.
Abstract:
A fuel cock-integrated engine switch is provided that reduces wear resulting from mechanical contact and that can thereby enhance durability. A magnet 14 is provided in a lever 11 that is pivoted turnably between an ON position and an OFF position. A reed switch 12 connected to an ignition device 17 is arranged in the ON position. A shutoff valve 2 of a fuel passage is arranged in the OFF position of the lever 11. In the OFF position, the magnet 14 of the lever 11 approaches a valve 3 formed with a magnetic member, and the member 3 is shifted upward within the case 4 to shut off the fuel passage. When the lever 11 is operated to shift to the ON position, the valve 3 is shifted downward within the case 4 or receives a force applied by a spring to open the fuel passage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an ignition device for triggering an ignition spark at a spark plug by way of an ignition generator. The latter includes a magnet wheel, which has two permanent magnets arranged at a spacing from each other in the peripheral direction and a magnetic yoke. The magnetic yoke carries a charging coil which charges an ignition capacitor, a primary coil and a secondary coil, connected, to the spark plug. During every passing of a permanent magnet, a voltage is induced in the coils, wherein, in order to trigger the ignition spark, the ignition capacitor is discharged via a switch element. In order to avoid an unwanted ignition at the bottom dead center of the piston, a device for reducing the voltage that occurs at the spark plug is provided.
Abstract:
A system provides electrical power and compressed air includes a wheeled hand truck frame, an engine, a compressor, a generator, and a reservoir having several horizontally disposed cylindrical tanks in fluid communication and arranged in one or a few vertical planes. A portion of a lower-most tank of the reservoir is below the plane including the axle for the wheels; and the respective centers of gravity of the engine, the fuel tank, and the reservoir are arranged for relatively greater stability. A control system for the engine, generator, and compressor provides priority response to air demand and/or priority response to electrical power demand by reducing lower priority loads on the engine prior to increasing engine speed. A throttle controller moves the engine throttle from high speed to low speed in response to low demand for compressed air in combination with low demand for electrical power. The throttle controller includes a low demand valve and throttle positioning air cylinder. The low demand valve is operated by an electrical signal asserted in response to detecting a condition of low output current from the system.

An ignition device for a personal watercraft engine, which allows mounting of a four-cycle engine on the personal watercraft and prevents occurrence of leakage of current. The engine for driving a jet propelling pump is provided in a watercraft body surrounded by a hull and a deck. A spark plug for spark ignition is provided in a cylinder head of the engine, and an integral cap ignition coil having a water-proof structure is water-tightly provided in the cylinder head in such a manner as to be located on the spark plug at an uppermost portion of the engine. A water-escape groove continuous to a recess for receiving a cap is formed in an upper surface of the cylinder head. A bottom surface of the escape groove is formed into a shape tilted downwardly.

A batteryless fuel injection apparatus for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine adapted to generate a start injection command signal for each of cylinders in predetermined order whenever a reference pulse signal is generated by a signal generation device in case that which cylinder the reference pulse signal corresponds to cannot be judged to inject a fuel from the injector for each of the cylinders and to generate the injection command signal for each of the cylinders at a regular injection start position after which cylinder the reference pulse signal corresponds to is judged.
Abstract:
A generator and triggering mechanism for an electronic ignition system of an internal combustion engine in which the mechanism has one magnetic circuit which charges an energy storage device and which is discharged in response to periodic rotational positions of the engine shaft by which the generator is driven. Integral and relatively rotatable with the generator, the mechanism includes a second magnetic circuit comprising a triggering coil and pole piece disposed in offset axial relationship to the magnetic circuit of the generator and with a ferromagnetic disc interposed between the generator circuit and the triggering elements whereby the trigger coil is shielded from stray flux lines of the first magnetic circuit.
Abstract:
A trigger generator is incorporated in a flywheel magneto which is directly coupled to the crankshaft of an engine to be driven thereby. A plurality of rotary magnetic poles are mounted on the body portion of the flywheel to constitute a rotor, and the iron core of the trigger generator is disposed in the space defined between the magnetic poles and the hub portion of the flywheel so as to establish a magnetic path which passes through the iron core and the hub and body portions of the flywheel. The trigger generator generates an output in response to the rotation of the engine without producing any noise voltage. Ignition can be reliably attained during each rotation and a high output can be obtained even when the engine is rotating at a low speed.
