An ignition distributor is arranged so that its axis is aligned with the central longitudinal axis of a camshaft. A generally cylindrical cam is attached to an end of the camshaft for driving a rotor of the ignition distributor. A flange on the cam extends transversely to the central longitudinal axis of the camshaft and is aligned with an extension of the rotor. Screws are provided to connect the flange and the extension. The screws extend in parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the camshaft and are distributed around the flange to balance the distribution of mass around the central axis. The cylindrical cam fits within an opening in a housing which is only slightly larger than the outside diameter of the cam to reduce the entry of dust into the distributor.

Ignition distributor arrangement for integral-combustion engines

A combustion chamber for gas turbine engines, particularly aircraft turbojet engines, which is constituted of an outer casing, at least one flame tube inserted therein, and incorporating at least one ignition device for the produced, respectively, supplied fuel-air mixture. The ignition device comprises two high-capacity ignition or spark plugs which are presently arranged in series in a single axial plane in the flame tube, and further including an ignition fuel nozzle, whose fuel injection spray cone will simultaneously encompass the ignition spark zones of both high-capacity spark plugs.
