Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An annular gap spark plug for a two-cycle engine having capacitor discharge fast-rise time ignition system with a sufficiently high voltage capacity to fire across a gap exceeding 0.03 inch, said spark plug being constructed to operate at temperatures below 1000* F. and having a refractory body with a central electrode of tungsten alloy confined therein and a circular casing constituting an electrode substantially concentric with the central electrode and providing a circular gap between said electrodes of substantially uniform dimension exceeding 0.03 inch, said central electrode being substantially free of deterioration at temperatures below approximately 1000* F.
