To aZlwkom it may concernz' g Q Be it known that I, JoHNyM. W LT oN,
a citizenof the United Statesg residing at New Orleans, in theparish- 'of Orleans'and State of Louisiana, have-inventedcertainf new and useful Improvemen'tsin. Spark. Plugs, of which the following is a rspecifi-j cation, reference being had thereinto thesis companying drawing. 7 I v My present invention relates to unprovements in spark plugs and more; particularly to that type shown in my Letters Patent No. 1,132,811, dated -March 23, 19 15, ;bn object of the present invention beingithe provision of means whereby'that portion of the insulator inclosed within the metaljcasing may be readily cleaned withoutdismantling the parts, such casing" codjperating'ftvith a I supporting bushing whichafter once 'assem-f blingwitliin the engine does not have to 'be removed.
A further object of 'the pi'esent invention y is the provision of a cuttin edge upon the insulator carrying casing-w erebyany col-- lection of carbon within the "supporting bushing will be automaticallylremoyed as the insulator carrying casing is moved mtof and out of position.
' With the foregoing view which will appear "as the descriptioni proceeds, the invention resides in the com bination and arrangement ofparts and In the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment, of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without do- I parting from the spirit of the inventionl meral 1 designates the supporting bushing provided with the exterior screw threads 2 and with the double diameter-ed portions 3 and 4t providingthegasket receiving shoulder 5, for the reception of the metal ring gasket 6.

The edge 31 of the casing. 7 cooperates with the wall of the'bore of the bushing 1 as the casing is inserted and Withdrawn to remove any collection of carbon; the exterior of the reduced end of the the lower end of the casing 7 are a plurality of spiral grooves32 to drainany oil that; .may enter in the space between the bushing 1 andcasing 7, and especially when the pres-" ent plug is used in a horizontal position.
The stem 23 is properly held in place by means of the metal cap 33, the resilient washer 34: and the nut 35, a terminal attaching nut 36 being also provided.
The gasket 37 ispreferably made from sheet copper or other similar malleable metal an incases a filling38 of heat .esisting material'such as asbestos.
