Abstract
A transmission device for an ignition system of an internal combustion engine, which is equipped with a cylindrical terminal member made of an elastic material and having an inner circumference engagable with either one of an ignition coil or a spark plug. The cylindrical terminal member includes an engagement portion into which a terminal portion of an insulating member is fitted at its outer circumference, and the engagement portion has a thick-walled portion provided with an escape space to permit radial elastic deformation. This structure allows the elastic deformation of the thick-walled portion when the engagement of the terminal member is engaged with the spark plug or the ignition coil, thus facilitating engagement without excessive effort.
