Abstract
Abstract An ignition lead arrangement comprising individual ignition leads which are constructed as flat cables which are integrated to a single molding for connection to an ignition distributor. The arrangement also comprises the necessary sockets for connection to the spark plugs and ignition coil which are covered with the insulating rubber which also forms the insulating material for the individual ignition leads.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
An ignition lead arrangement comprising several ignition leads for connecting an ignition distributor to spark plugs and an ignition coil, characterized in that the ignition leads are constructed as individual, parallel flat cables which, at their distributor end, pass laterally into each other to form a single molding, and plug sockets are constructed integrally with the ignition lead arrangement and covered with the same insulating material as the ignition leads.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
70 words
An ignition lead arrangement comprising several ignition leads for connecting an ignition distributor to spark plugs and an ignition coil, characterized in that the ignition leads are constructed as individual, parallel flat cables which, at their distributor end, pass laterally into each other to form a single molding, and plug sockets are constructed integrally with the ignition lead arrangement and covered with the same insulating material as the ignition leads.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
An ignition lead arrangement according to claim 1, characterized in that each of the ignition leads have a pull tab at the free end which is opposite the distributor end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
An ignition lead arrangement according to claim 2, characterized in that the pull tabs at the free ends of the ignition leads are alternately arranged, so that a pull tab which is arranged perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the ignition leads is next to a pull tab which is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the ignition lead.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
An ignition lead arrangement according to claim 3, characterized in that the single molding at the distributor end also has a pull tab.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
27 words
An ignition lead arrangement according to claim 4, characterized in that each of the ignition leads have several perforations for mounting the ignition leads on support knobs.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
91 words
A method for the manufacturing an ignition lead arrangement characterized in that ignition leads which are not yet insulated and which have contact eyelets at their ends are embedded in insulating rubber while extending parallel to each other in a vulcanizing apparatus so that the contact eyelets are also covered with insulating rubber to provide plug sockets and in that the flat insulated component produced in the vulcanizing apparatus is then cut in from one end to form individual flat leads for connection to spark plugs and to an ignition coil.
