INVENTOR LOUIS A BEVACQ UA ya 8 HIGH VOLTAGE COIL BOOT BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the past attempts have been made to mount coils directly on spark plugs but none has proved too successful. One of the most recurrent problems was spark plug breakage. The shock resulting during operation with the coil mounted on the spark plug was too great. Other attempts included integral engagement of the ignition coil with the spark plug. However, no accommodation was made for the resulting overheating of the coil caused by the direct contact of the spark plug with the coil.
A further problem has evolved from the necessity of sealing the coil mounted spark plugs from moisture and dust. In most applications the apparatus depended on the resilient capacity of elastic materials to cause continued adherence to the spark plug. In time the resilience deteriorated, and sealing became less effective.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved shock mounting for a high voltage coil on a spark plug.
It is yet another object of this invention to seal a portion of the spark plug against moisture and dust.
It is still another object of this invention to provide improved heat insulation between the ignition coil and spark plug.
The high voltage coil boot of the present invention is molded of resilient insulating material such as neoprene, and comprises a tubular sleeve which fits onto a spark plug over which the bore of a high voltage coil is mounted. An annular, ring-like base at one end of the sleeve provides sealing and shock mounting between the spark plug coil base and spark plug, while the top of the sleeve provides sealing and shock absorption between the top of the plug and the coil. A collar portion connected to the outer surface of the sleeve intermediate the bottom and top portions thereof, has a ramp with an air vent to ease mounting the coil. Intersecting the ramp is that portion of the collar which prevents disengagement from the coil and may be either sawtooth or rounded in cross-section. With the ignition coil being mounted, the collar portion is deflected inwardly to form a lip on the inside of the sleeve to fit below an annular rib on the periphery of the spark plug, i.e., an annular detent, to prevent the spark plug from being extracted from the sleeve. The lip locks the spark plug to the sleeve and the deflected annular collar locks the sleeve to the coil.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Cutting electrical power losses and radio frequency signals from high tension leads in internal combustion engines utilizing, for example, capacitor discharge ignition systems, requires high voltage coils be in close proximity to the spark plugs. The high voltage coil boot 12 shown in FIG. 1 comprises a sleeve 18 of resilient electrical insulating material such as neoprene and provides a means for connecting a spark plug 14 to an ignition coil 16. The sleeve 18, the annular top 24 and bottom 22 (FIGS. 3 and 4) and collar 26 of the boot 12 are molded as one unit and require no connectors.
The boot l2 fits loosely over the top of the spark plug 14 and is held in place by the top 24 which rests on the spark plug until the ignition coil 16 is secured thereon. The annular bottom. ring 22 provides a seal against moisture and dust while its resilience provides a shock mounting for the coil 16. Of course, the dimensions of an individual boot are determined by the sizes of spark plugs and coil involved.
When the sleeve 18 is initially assembled on the plug, the collar 26 projects from outside the wall of the boot as in FIGS. 2 and 3, and has a circumference at its greatest diameter approximating that of the annular bottom 22. As the spark plug mounted boot is inserted into the coil 16, the ramp 32 of the collar 26 facilitates the assembly of the parts. However, because the diameter of the collar at the base of the ramp portion is greater than the diameter of the bore of the coil an interference fit results between the boot and coil bore 13 at the collar 26 making it difficult to complete insertion. As additional force is applied, the collar 26 is forced inwardly against the spark plug 14 with the air vent 36 preventing the formation of an air cushion, or pocket, above the collar inside the'coil core, and consequently insuring a tight seal. When insertion is complete, the spark plug terminal 11 fits into coil clip 30 and provides a necessary electrical contact for operation. The use of electrical insulating material such as neoprene prevents arcing and current drain, and provides heat insulation between the coil and plug by the physical separation of the two.
In the connected state with the spark plug in the boot and the boot in coil bore 13, the collar 26 is deformed inwardly. A sealing lip 38 (FIG. 1) projects from the inner wall of the tubular sleeve and tits below a spark plug rib 40, where a recess 42 acts as an annular detent. This sealing lip 38, 38a results from deflection of the collar portion 26 caused by the structure of the inner wall 34 of the coil bore 13 when the spark plug, boot and ignition coil are connected and prevents disengagement of the spark plug. The sealing lip 38 also provides sealing means for preventing moisture and dust from fouling the spark plug and acts as a shock mounting, in essence, by floating the coil 16.
The effectiveness of the boot depends upon the relative circumference, resilience and breadth and shape of the collar portion 26 (FIG. 2) or 48 (FIG. 5). Disengagement of the spark plug from the coil may be affected by the cross-sectional shape of the collar. FIGS. 2 and 3 show one embodiment where an arcuate portion 44 intersects with ramp 32. Another embodiment shown in FIG. 5 utilizes a sawtooth corner on collar 48. The sharper the intersection of side 46 with ramp 50 of collar 48, the more difficult disengagement of the coil 16 from the spark plug 14 and boot 12 (FIG. 1) or 52 (FIG. 5) becomes. In other words, the smaller the angle at the intersection of side 46 and ramp 50 the more difficult to extract the spark plug.
Additional insulation, sealing and shock mounting is provided by the top 24 which provides a loose fit for the boot around clip 30 of the coil 16 and over the top 11 of the spark plug before the coil is mounted.
What this invention provides, therefore, is a means for successfully mounting a high voltage coil on a spark plug while providing insulation, sealing from moisture and dust, and shock mounting.
