Abstract

Bei einer Zündvorrichtung für Kolben-Brennkraftmaschinen mit einer im Kolbenboden angeordneten bewegbaren Kolbenelektrode und einer im Zylinderkopf angeordneten Gegen-Elektrode, und mit einer sich zwischen den beiden Elektroden ausbildenden Funkenstrecke, ist die räumliche Anordnung der beiden Elektroden derart, daß die Funkenstrecke kleiner als der minimale Abstand zwischen der Gegen-Elektrode und dem Kolbenboden ist.

Figure 00000001
In an ignition device for piston internal combustion engines with a movable piston electrode arranged in the piston crown and a counter electrode arranged in the cylinder head, and with a spark gap formed between the two electrodes, the spatial arrangement of the two electrodes is such that the spark gap is smaller than the minimum Distance between the counter electrode and the piston crown.
