Abstract
A spark prolonging device having a winding on an electrically inert core and connected at one end to the secondary coil of an ignition system and at the other end to the distributor, a first portion of the winding comprised of coils spaced on said core and a second portion of the winding comprised of tightly wound coils; the second winding portion consisting of three sections with the direction of winding reversed between the first and second sections and between the second and third sections and the second section having approximately twice as many coil turns as said first and third sections.
Claims15
An ignition spark prolong device located in the electrical line connecting the secondary winding of an ignition coil to the distributor comprising:
- a core of electrically inert material;
- an insulated wire conductor wound around said core and connected at one end to said secondary winding and at the other end to said distributor;
- the end of said conductor connected to said secondary winding being wound into a first winding portion along said core in coils of wire spaced apart;
- the other end of said first portion being connected to a first section of a second winding portion wound along said core in the same direction as said first portion in coils closely adjacent one another;
- a second section of said second winding portion connected to the end of said first section and wound in a reverse direction from said first section along said core in closely adjacent coils;
- and
- a third section of said second winding portion connected to the end of said second section and wound in a reverse direction from said second section along said core in closely adjacent coils;
- the wire conductor at the end of said third section being connected to said distributor.
