This invention relates to an ignition distributor for an internal combustion engine and more specifically relates to a novel reluctor included in an ignition distributor for discriminating between cylinders of an engine. The reluctor has an elongated shape and is arranged relative to the rotating shaft of an ignition distributor so that the gravity center of the reluctor is located exactly on the rotational axis of the shaft. This arrangement enables the rotational movement of the shaft to be concentrated, so that the wear to which the bearings supporting the shaft is subjected is significantly reduced. The reluctor is attached to the governor base of an ignition distributor without any rivets by virtue of the novel configuration thereof, so that a reduction in the number of parts can be achieved, together with reduction in the total production cost.
An ignition distributor for an internal combustion engine comprising a shaft rotated by said engine, a reluctor for discriminating between the cylinders of an engine that is adapted to rotate in response to the rotation of said shaft, and a sensor cooperating with said reluctor to generate a signal for discriminating between the cylinders of said engine;
An ignition distributor for an internal combustion engine comprising:
