Abstract

Abstract An improved electrical connection of the H. V. leads at the distributor cap of a spark ignited internal combustion engine, by slipping each semi-conducting H. V. lead over an extended end of a pin which has an enlarged portion for better holding the lead captive therearound; there also being an O-ring for improved electrical and mechanical interconnection, and there also being a rain shield molding so to seal out moisture and dust.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
An improved electrical connection of H.V. leads at a distributor terminal of a spark ignited internal combustion engine, said electrical connection having means for better electrical and mechanical interconnection, said means including a distributor cap having solid flat surfaces from each of which there is an extending pin of an electrical contact, said pin including a diametrically enlarged portion along an intermediate portion thereof for being fitted inside said H.V. lead for a better hold, an O-ring being provided around said H.V. lead for applying pressure, said diametrically enlarged portion being inserted past said O-ring so that said enlarged portion is locked behind said O-ring, and a rain shield molding around said lead covering the connection so to form a moisture-proof and dirtproof seal.
