Estelle Stone, Rochester, N, Y., executrices, asslgnors to Tlteilex, Inc., a corporation of New Jersey Application July 19, 1941, Serial No. 403,166 21 Claims. 123-148) This invention relates to the radio shielding of the ignition of an internal combustion engine.
A further object of the invention is to support the shielding means upon the engine in an improved manner.
A further object of the invention is to provide shielding means for ignition conductors which shall be readily applied and flexible in itsapplication to an engine. 1
Other and ancillary objects of the invention will appear hereinafter.
In the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention- Fig. 1 is a view in front elevation, and of somewhat schematic character, illustrating an engine with ignition shielding embodying the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a similar view of a modified construction of which only a portion is illustrated, and some of the parts are broken away;
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the Junction box viewed on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1, the spark plug leads being shown in cross section; I
Fig. 4 is an elevation of the end of the junction box opposite that of Fig. 3, the spark plug leads being shown in section; and
Fig. 5 is a side elevation, partly in section and on an enlarged scale, of one form of a radio shielding spark plug lead conduit with a section of an ignition conductor therein.
Referring to the drawings, and first to Figs. 1, 3 and 4, the reference characters 8| to 89, inclusive,respectively designate the cylinders of an internal combustion radial cylinder engine ofthe type commonly used on aeroplanes, and there are casings IIU to I21 for the valve operating push rods as is well understood in connection with such engines. Also the engine has the usual crank shaft 25. I
Each of the cylinders has a suitable spark plug within the metal radio shielding housings II to I9 respectively.
To supply ignition current, a metal radio,
shielding conduit I28 extends from the metal radio shield about a magneto at the rear of the engine to the metal elbow 60 removably secured to the conduit 1-28 by a swivel screw nut I29. The metal conduit I23 is preferably a flexible, corru gated, metal tube as shown in the patent to Brinkman, No. 1,340,818. In place of such flexible tube the conduit I28 might, under some circumstances, be a rigid tube or a tube partly rigid and partly flexible.
The lower end of the elbow is flared out to form the top of a metal junction box J: into which the elbow opens, the back of the junction box being formed by the metal plate I30, and the front of the junction box is a metal plate I3I.
The box has a suitable metal bottom and metal ends and the top corners of the box are flattened to form the portions I32 and I33. The box is secured by any suitable mechanical means to the push rod casings I III and I21, and the front of the box is removably secured in position by'means of screws I34.
In one end wall of the junction box are secured screw nipples to which are respectively detachably secured the metal spark plug lead conduits 66, 61 and 68 by means of swivel screw nuts, the
'' same as I29 shown in Fig. 3. In the other end of the Junction box are secured screw-threaded nipples to which the metal spark plug lead conduits 62, 63, 64 and 65 are respectively secured by similar screw swivel couplings. In the flattened top portions I32 and I33 are secured screwthreaded nipples which are respectively secured to the metal spark plug lead conduits 69 and BI.- The other ends of the spark plug lead conduits 3| to 69 inclusive are respectively detachably connected with the spark plug metal radio shielding housing II to I9 by swivel screwthreaded couplings as referred to.
Where necessary the spark plug-lead conduits may be secured to one or more push rod casings. Thus. the conduits 66 and 6.1 are secured to the casing I25 by a clamp I35, and the conduits 64 and 65 are secured to the push rod casing II5 by a clamp I33.
The conduits 6| to 89, inclusive, may be of still metal pipe, but preferably each is flexible and may be such a flexible metal tube as is disclosed in the Brinkman Patent No. 1,198,392 (see Fig. 7 thereof). If desired a braided covering of metal strips may be applied to this tube to form a structure as disclosed in the Brinkman Patent No. 1,340,818 with reference to Fig. 5 thereof or each of the spark plug lead conduits might be of rigid and flexible sections, such a structure being shown in Fig. 5 wherein is shown a stiff, metal pipe it having secured by soldering or other suitable means, to each of its ends a section T of flexible, metal pipe which may be of the construction of the Brinkman flexible, corrugated, metal tube I justreierred to. The other ends 01 the sections "1 are secured, by soldering or other suitable means. to couplings including swivel nuts Ill and I" by which the conduits are detachably secured.

The engine shown is of the radial type and has alsoanywireswhiehmaytakeoiliromtheomni- ,bus conduit itself. The ends of the conduit ll open into the interiors of the Junction boxes J4 the usual nine cylinders with one spark plug p'er cylinder, and consequently nine conductors are required .to carry current from the magneto to the spark plugs.;.

Inasmuch as the conductors from each mag- J neto conduit and junction box must be diatrib uted to the spark plugs of all the nine cylinders, some of the ignition conductors will pass from the junction box Js through the junction box .14
