Title: Harry J. Wilson and an Engine Ignition-Wire Connection Invention.

Introduction

Harry J. Wilson is an inventor associated with Cortland, Ohio, and Delphi Technologies, Inc. His patent work addresses a practical challenge in engine ignition systems: keeping ignition-wire connections correctly positioned and secure at the ignition coil.

Latest Patents

Wilson is credited with 1 patent: “Connection Position Assurance Arrangement for Engine Ignition Wires.” The invention uses a T-shaped device to help connect two ignition wires to parallel terminal posts on an ignition coil and maintain those connections during engine operation.

The device has a lengthwise bolt opening in its tower portion and two connector-holding portions extending in opposite directions. Cavities in those portions retain the ignition-wire connectors, while insertion and access openings allow the connectors to be fitted and reached. When bolted to the ignition coil or an engine powertrain component, the device positions both connectors in engagement with the coil’s terminal posts.

Career Highlights

Wilson’s listed patent reflects an engineering focus on connection reliability and precise component alignment. The arrangement combines connector retention with a mounting structure designed to secure the wires in their intended positions.

Collaborations

The patent’s listed collaborators include Harry J. Slaven and Thomas C. Richards. Wilson is also associated with Delphi Technologies, Inc.

Conclusion

Harry J. Wilson’s patent describes a purpose-built device for positioning and retaining engine ignition-wire connectors, highlighting the role of practical mechanical design in improving connection assurance.
