Abstract

Abstract According to this invention, an ignition coil device is assembled so that a rotary shaft of a distributor or the like may penetrate therethrough in a direction parallel to the main magnetic fluxes produced by coils therein, wherein, a coil assembly in which a primary coil and a secondary coil are unitarily molded by an insulating molding material is formed in a doughnut-shape, and the whole periphery of the coil assembly is covered with a core is centrally provided with a through hole for inserting said rotary shaft therethrough.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 173 words
An ignition coil device for an internal combustion engine comprising: a core which includes a first annular core member having a central axis and a second core member; said second core member being connected to said first core member so as to define a toroidal coil space outside said first core member and being split along a plane transverse to said axis to divide said second core member into separate parts, each having an axially extending cylindrical section and a radically extending annular section; a toroidal coil assembly which is arranged in said toroidal coil space; and said toroidal coil assembly having a primary coil and a secondary coil for generating a high voltage for the ignition of the engine and being arranged so as to surround said first core member and so as to be surrounded by said separate parts of said second core member when assembled with the cylindrical sections thereof in contact with each other and the annular sections in contact along the inner periphery with said annular core member.
