Application January 25, 1956, Serial No. 561,238
Claims, (Cl. 339-252) This invention relates to ignition systems and has more particular reference to a tune-up extension for use with spark plugs for testing purposes.
In tuning up internal combustion engines having high tension ignition systems and in testing the spark plugs of such systems to see whether they are skipping or are grounded out, and in carrying out various other tests, it is essential that the mechanic have access to the central electrode terminals of the spark plugs or the terminal connections of the spark plug ignition cables.
Todays modern cars usually have V-type engines and the spark plugs are in an extremely difficult place to reach; in addition, the central electrode terminal of each spark plug is usually covered by a resilient dielectric sleevelike protective member which fits over the ceramic insulator of the plug and extends for several inches over theignition cable attached thereto. 'In some instances, the sleeve is formed integral with the cable and in others it is made separate. In tuning up motors of this type, some mechanics, in order to find a conductor surface for testing purposes, pierce the sleeve with a sharp instrument to get contact with the spark plug electrode, or cut into the cable. In either case, such procedure will permit leakage of moisture into the cable or sleeve and possibly cause faulty performance. I
One object of the present invention is to provide a novel tune-up extension especially designed for use in making tests in ignition systems of the class wherein the terminal end of the spark plug cable is covered by a resilient cover member adapted to snugly fit over the upper portion of the insulator of the spark plug when the cable is attached thereto, comprising an elongated metallic member having one end adapted to extend into the sleeve-like protective covering of the terminal end of a spark plug ignition cable and be detachably connected to the cable conductor, and the other end adapted to be detachably at- I 'tached to the spark plug central electrode terminal, whereby the tune-up extension may be quickly and readily connected to a spark plug and the ignition cable therefor to provide an exposed conductor surface easily accessible for testing purposes.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a tune-up extension device, as characterized above, which is adapted for use with ignition systems of the type described above in which the spark plug cables approach the spark plugs in a transverse direction as well as systems in which the spark plug cables approach the spark plugs in an axial direction.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a tune-up extension, as characterized above, which is relatively simple in construction and can be easily applied to the intended use.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear'in the following specification when considered in connection withthe accompanying drawing, wherein: Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a tune-up extension connector constructed in accordance with the present invention and showing the manner in which it is "used 2,853,691 Patented Sept. 23, 1958 to connect a conventional spark plug to an ignition cable of the type in which the cable approaches the spark plug in a transverse direction;
Fig. 2 is a side elevational view, partly in cross section, showing the manner in which the tune-up extension is connected to the spark plug cable shown in Fig. 1;

A metallica ball 16 is movable mounted within the inner end portion 15 of the bore 13 and is normally resiliently held seated against a pair of opposed stop members or projections 17, extending inwardly from the outer edge of the end wall of the portion 15, as by means of a coiled metal spring 18 which bears against the ball and the bottom of the bore 13. The end portion 11 is also provided with a transverse bore 19 which intersects the bore v13 at right angles and is, so positioned that'the ball 16 projects thereinto when held against the stop projections 17. The end portion 12 of the cylindrical member 10, which is adapted to be connected to the terminal connector of a spark plug cable, is made of a size and shape generally conforming to the size and shape of the terminal end portion of the central electrode of the spark plug and is shown as having a circumferential groove 20 formed thereon adjacent its outer end for a purpose hereinafter to be described.

The lower portion 30' of thezconnector 25 is slotted to make it more resilient and carries one or morehinwa dly proa snap-on connection between the tw-ozrnembersn. The
gage the terminal end 23of the central electrode of the spark plug when it is reecivedin the lower leg of the shieldfitting. The lower leg 30 of the connector 25 is slotted to make it more resilient and carries one or more inwardly projectingdetents 31 adapted to engage in the groove 24 of the eletcrode terminal 23 to make a snapon connection between the two members.
In using the tuneup extension of the invention with ignition systems of the type illustrated in Figs. land 2, the end portion 12 of the tune-up extension is inserted into the lower leg 28 of the shield fitting 26 and into the lower leg of the connector 25 until the detents 31 of the connector 25 are resiliently pressed into the groove formed on the end portion 12 of the tune-up extension to make a snap-on connection between the two members which is easily made and broken, yet provides a good electrical connection between the two members. The end portion 11 of the tune-up extension is mounted on the spark plug with the terminal end 23 of the central electrode received in and extending through the transverse bore 19 therein, and with the bail 16 being spring pressed into the groove 24 formed in the electrodeterminal, thus forming a secure snap-on connection which may. easily be made or broken and provides a good electrical connection between the two members.

The tubular shield fitting 26' includes an upper portion 27 which extends over and embraces the end portion of the. insulating covering of the cable C and a lower portion 28' which is adapted to fit over the insulator 122 of the spark plug. The snap on connector 25'may be of any usual construction and is shown'in theform of a metal tubular rnember having its upper end portion 29 extending into theupper portion 21' of the shield fitting end portion 11 of thetune-up extension isxmounted 0n the spark plug with the terminal; end 23 of thewcentral electrode received in the enlarged portion 14 of theraxial bore 13 formed therein, with the extreme end of the terminal 23 engaging the ball 16 mounted in thellPP r portion 15 of the axialfibore 13, thereby insuringa good electrical connection between the tune-up extensionand the central electrode terminal.
