A stick-type ignition coil device has a central core, and primary and secondary windings wound concentrically around the central core in a coil casing. A positioning part is provided in the casing to define the position of the central core. An insulating resin such as epoxy resin is filled in the coil casing for electrical insulation and fixing of components in the coil casing. A thermal stress releasing member, which is less adhesive to and easily peelable from the insulating resin, is provided on the upper surface of the positioning part. The thermal stress releasing member is separated from the insulating resin and allows the positioning member to move with the central core, thereby minimizing cracks which will occur in the insulating resin formed between the central core and the positioning part.

An engine igniting coil device adapted to be mounted in a cylindrical bore of an engine and directly connected with an ignition plug therein has a coil case containing an igniting coil assembly and made of conductive magnetic material which is held at the ground potential level, thus preventing a decrease of output factor of the igniting coil of produced magnetic flux when spreading about and passing through a cylinder head of the engine and eliminating the possibility of leakage discharge from a high-voltage portion of the igniting coil assembly to the coil case and the cylinder head.

Engine igniting coil device

An engine igniting coil device directly attachable to an igniting plug, wherein both primary and secondary coil bobbins have flangeless ends, the secondary coil bobbin has inwardly protruding ribs for coaxially supporting the flangeless end of the primary coil bobbin mounted therein and the secondary coil bobbin also has protrusions formed at its external wall apart from a high-voltage terminal of the secondary coil wound thereon and is coaxially mounted in a coil case by abutting its protrusions on an inner wall thereof, thus eliminating the possibility of damaging the bobbins by a large thermal stress produced in solidified insulating resin in a coil case by a differential thermal shrinkage in an axial direction and preventing a leakage current from a high-voltage side of the secondary coil bobbin to the coil case through a flange-like connection.

In an engine igniting coil device comprising an ignition coil assembly potted integrally in a coil case by injecting melted insulating resin, a secondary coil is formed on a coil bobbin by bank winding an element wire in layers of wire turns one over another at a certain bank angle in an axial direction on the bobbin and by slope-winding of layers on the end portion of the bobbin by tapering the coil (by reducing the number of layers therein) in the winding direction. This allows setting a dielectric strength of interlayer insulation of the secondary coil according to a potential distribution therebetween, which is secured by forming an insulation resin layer of a reduced thickness between the coil case and the secondary coil of the secondary coil bobbin, thus realizing a compact engine-igniting coil device.

Engine igniting coil device and method of winding an ignition coil

An engine ignition coil device which comprises a coil case composed of a first cylindrical case and a second case having a small tubular hole in its center portion and an upper external shoulder at its open end fitted in an open end of the first case to form a closed end of the coil case and an internal unit assembled from a primary side coil bobbin, a secondary-side coil bobbin having a high-voltage terminal holder projecting from a center of its end flange portion, a rod-shaped core, and a high-voltage terminal attached to the high-voltage terminal holder and having a contact for electrically connecting an ignition plug thereto. The internal assembly is mounted in the coil case by inserting the high-voltage terminal holder in the small tubular hole of the secondary case with a tip of the contact projected outwardly therefrom and formed integrally with the coil case by injecting melted insulating resin into the coil case. Thus, the inner assembly can be easily located and reliably fixed at a given place in the coil case with no additional member, assuring precise forming of an integral device by potting with resin.

A distributor for a vehicle includes a housing and a cap operatively positioned on the housing for defining a closed space therebetween. A central electrode and a side electrode are operatively mounted within the cap in a predetermined disposition. A distributor rotor is rotatably mounted relative to the housing and projects within the closed space, the distributor rotor includes an upper end and a lower end. At least one fin is mounted adjacent to the upper end of the distributor rotor for rotation together with the distributor rotor. An air flow guiding member projects into the closed space. An air intake aperture is provided for introducing ambient air into the closed space. A discharge aperture is formed in the cap for discharging swirling air flow induced by rotation of the distributor rotor to travel from the air intake aperture along the air flow guiding member and through the discharge aperture to the atmosphere. The discharge aperture is formed in the cap at a position above the distributor rotor and the air intake aperture is formed in the cap or the housing at a position in a lower portion of the cap or the housing for enabling acidic material generated by a spark to be discharged through the discharge aperture by the swirling air flow.
