Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
An electronic ignition control device for an internal combustion engine comprised of a printed circuit board including an SCR and a firing control circuit for controlling the firing of a spark plug of the engine, said firing control circuit including means for advancing the timing of firing in response to a low temperature signal, temperature responsive means for sensing temperature and supplying a signal to said printed circuit board to advance the spark at a low temperature mounted on said printed circuit board and mounted as a unit with said firing control circuit and means for mounting said firing control circuit with said temperature responsive means in proximity to a part of the engine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
An electronic ignition control device for an internal combustion engine comprised of a printed circuit board including an SCR and a firing control circuit for controlling the firing of a spark plug of the engine, said firing control circuit including means for advancing the timing of firing in response to a low temperature signal, temperature responsive means for sensing temperature and supplying a signal to said printed circuit board to advance the spark at a low temperature mounted on said printed circuit board and mounted as a unit with said firing control circuit and means for mounting said firing control circuit with said temperature responsive means in proximity to a part of the engine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
An ignition control device as set forth in claim 1 wherein the printed circuit board and temperature responsive means are potted and mounted in a housing that is affixed to a side of the engine.
