Educational device for learning ignition system fundamentals

Claim 1

An educational kit for teaching the assembly, relationship of parts, and operation of an automotive ignition system comprising: a. a simulator board having a surface of magnetically attractive material and including graphic indicia on the surface thereof defining schematic diagrams of the outlines of various of the component parts of an automotive ignition system in its unconnected state, said board further having mounted thereon in association with said indicia a plurality of jack members for forming simulated electrical connections between various of said schematic diagrams; b. a plurality of magnetically attractive manipulative pieces individually bearing on their surfaces specific graphic indicia defining specific elements of the component parts for an automotive ignition system or descriptive word indicia; c. a plurality of plug wires each adapted for connecting two of said jack members; and d. audiovisual instructional means; said manipulative pieces and plug wires adapted for manipulation on the simulator board and in association with the simulator board indicia by the user in response to said instructional means such that the assembly, relationship of parts, and operation of an automotive ignition system can be graphically and physically simulated, said magnetically attractive board or alternatively each of said magnetically attractive pieces being magnetic to provide a mutual attraction between said board and said pieces.
