    摘要: In a semi-creeping discharge type spark plug, a cylindrical metal shell and an insulator are provided, the latter of which has an axial bore and placed within the metal shell so that a front end of the insulator extends beyond the metal shell. A center electrode is placed within the axial bore of the insulator so that a front end surface edge of the center electrode retracts by 0.1˜0.6 mm behind from a front end surface of the insulator. A ground electrode, one end of which is connected to a front end of the metal shell, and the other end of which is bent to oppose an outer surface of the insulator so as to form an air-gap therebetween while permitting creeping spark discharges running along said front end surface of said insulator. A foward edge portion of a front end surface of the ground electrode extends by 0.0˜1.0 mm forward from the front end surface of the insulator.

    摘要: An ignition system has a spark plug and a positive voltage applying unit. The spark plug includes a central electrode, a porcelain insulator for holding the central electrode, a main metallic shell for holding the porcelain insulator, and a ground electrode electrically connected to the main metallic shell. The positive voltage applying unit applies a positive voltage to the central electrode of the spark plug in comparison with the ground electrode, so that an ignition high voltage is applied between the central electrode and the ground electrode. In the spark plug, a spark discharge gap is formed between the ground electrode and a distal end portion of the central electrode. The ground electrode is positioned so that a rear edge of a mating face opposed to a peripheral side of the central electrode is positioned in the side of the distal end of the central electrode in comparison with an end face of the porcelain insulator.

In the spark plug, application of voltage between the central electrode and the ground electrode such that the polarity of the central electrode is made to be positive causes discharge to occur between the central electrode and the ground electrode. The spark plug satisfies at least one of the following conditions (a) and (b). (a) When the insulating member is cut along the central axis and a first extension line (60a) in the form obtained by outwards extending a line (60) indicating an end surface of said insulating member adjacent to the igniting portion and a second extension line (61a, 63a) in the form obtained by extending a line (61, 63) indicating the outer surface of the insulating member in the vicinity of the igniting portion are drawn, the distance tp from an intersection (62) between the first and second extension lines to a line indicating an inner surface of the axial hole adjacent to the igniting portion is 1.0 mm or shorter (tp ≦1.0 mm).

    摘要: In a spark plug in use for an internal combustion engine, a ground electrode is secured to a front end of the metal shell so that a front end surface of the ground electrode faces an elevational side of a front end of the center electrode to cause semi-creeping spark discharges therebetween along a front end surface of the insulator. A front end portion of the center electrode has an electrode base in the axial bore and an electrode front defined diametrically smaller than the electrode base by way of a diameter-variable portion. A diametrical difference between an initial point of the diameter-variable portion of the center electrode and the axial bore of the insulator is 1 mm or less, and the initial point of the diameter-variable portion is retracted by 0.0 mm-1.0 mm from the front end surface of the insulator.

    摘要: A spark plug having a center electrode, a ground electrode, and an insulator. The ground electrode has a firing surface formed in a tip end side, and the firing surface is opposed to a side face of the center electrode. The insulator covers the outside of the center electrode and is placed such that a tip end portion is between the side face of the center electrode and the firing surface of the ground electrode. A discharge high voltage is applied across the center electrode and the ground electrode such that a polarity of the center electrode is positive and that of the ground electrode is negative. The high voltage causes a spark discharge to be generated between the firing surface of the ground electrode and a tip end portion of the center electrode.
