Abstract
A spark electrode assembly (10) for a gas range igniter system is disclosed which is low in cost, easy to assemble, and reliable in operation. The assembly comprises a resilient, electrically conductive support member 18 having a U-shaped configuration and adapted for connection to the top frame of the gas range. An integrally molded insulator member (46) is connected to the support by means of a peripheral flange portion (50) which extends through rectangular openings (38) formed in parallel leg portions (43, 44) of the support. The inward spring bias exerted by the legs of the support maintain the insulator assembled thereto. A barbed, wire connecting insert (60) is crimped to an electrical lead (58) and inserted into a bore (54) in the insulator. Barbs (64, 66) on the insert abut against the top surface of a wall (56) which extend inward radially from the internal wall of bore (54) and prevent removal of the electrical lead from the insulator.
