The clip and battery remain substantially stationary within the housing of the electronic ignition device as the cap is threadably received thereon. The terminals on the battery engage electrical contacts within the housing of the electronic ignition device after the battery has been inserted therein. An O-ring is provided between the cap and the housing to provide a seal therebetween protecting the electronic ignition device from the outside environment.
An ignition device comprising a housing, a cap received on said housing, a retaining member rotatably mounted within said cap and electrical contacts within said housing, said housing having a recess provided therein, said recess having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion interposed between said first portion and said second portion, said first portion having a generally circular configuration, said second portion having a generally rectangular configuration and said third portion having a generally circular inwardly tapered configuration.
An ignition device comprising a housing, a cap received on said housing, a retaining member rotatably mounted within said cap and electrical contacts within said housing, said retaining member comprising oppositely disposed outwardly directed first portions at the entrance thereto, oppositely disposed substantially parallel second portions and an oppositely disposed generally curved inwardly directed third portion joining said first portion and said second portion of said retaining member.
