131: R. HICKS, 0F HALLSVILLE; MJESSOURI.
To all whom'z't'may concern Be it known that I, IRL R. HICKS, a citi-' zen of the United States, residing at Halls- I ville, in the county of 5; Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Priming Spark- Plugs, ofwhich the following is a specification.
This invention'relates to spark plugs for lifl iuternal combustion engines and more particularly to'a combined spark plug and priming device for feeding liquid fuel directly to v the combustion chamber of the engine. An object of the invention is the provision at of a hollow central electrode for conducting the liquid fuel tothe spark gap of the plug. Another object is the provision of a novel type'of needle valve adapted to cooperate with. the end of the hollow electrode to close 0 the opening through the latter and consti- 'tuting, when'in closed position, a lock insuring against looseningof the terminal en- .39. 'ng nuts of the plug.
.5 %ith. these and other objects in view, the
215; invention consists in the novel construction,
f. arixlilan ement and combination of parts as w claimed an'dillustrated' in the accompany- Zing drawings, in which the figure represents .a longitudinal central sectional view through a spark plug constructed in accordance with my invention.
Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein similar reference numerals designate cor- 36' responding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 indicates a fragment of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine type having a threaded opening 6 therethrough for receiving the threaded end 7 of ark plug of ordibody 8 is referably formed with a hexagonal nut w ereby the plug maybe quickly and conveniently'removed by the application Y 'thereto of a Suitable; Wrench A core ormed of porcelain orother insulating marial is provided with an annular enlargent 10 adapted to' engage the shoulder PRIMING SPARK-PLUG.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Boone and State of e hereinafter s'pecifically described,.
formed internally and centrally of the body 5o tioned within the body 8 and is engaged of the plug; A threaded sleeve 11 is POSI- against the annular enlargement 10 to lock the porcelain core'9 against removal. An electrode 12 is secured to the threaded endof the body and iscurved inwardly toward the center thereof. 7
A priming cup 21is formed in V 11y Batented Aug. 31, 1915.
Application filed April 17, 1 914. Serial no. 832,611; l
cured centrally within the porcelain core 9 with the nut 20 and communicates wit the threaded here through said nut. A needle valve 22 is positioned in the threaded opening of the cup and the pointed end 23 thereof is adapted to be seated in the flared-end 1 16 of the opening 15 to close communication through the latter. The valve 22 is formed with a longitudinal groove 24 adapted to permit gasolene or other liquid fuel to flow from the priming cup 21 into the hollow electrode 13 when the valve 22 is 0 en. A
What I claim is A spark plug including a body, a central electrode secured in said body projecting outwardly of the inner and outer ends of the latter having external screw-threads and a longitudinal opening therethrough, a nut threaded on the outer exposed end of said electrode of greater length than said exposleld end,--a priming cup formed integral wit said nut and communicating with the v threa'ded bore thereof, a screw threaded In testimony whereof I afiix my signature needle valve fitted in said nut having a 1011- in presence of two Witnesses.
gitudinal groove and adapted to cooperate with the outer extremity of said central IRL HICKS n5 electrode to close the longitudinal opening Witnesses:
in the latter, and a head carried by the outer H. BISHOP CHANGE, extremityof said valve. V I O. G. PALMER.
