A spark discharge gap is left between the ground and center electrodes. Further, first to third projections are formed on the top end portion. The first projection is opposed to the ground electrode with the center electrode therebetween. The second projection is closer to the ground electrode than to the first projection. The third projection is closer to the first projection than to the ground electrode.
