Spark plug having a flame deflector for use in an internal combustion engine

摘要

A spark plug is provided with a plurality a flame deflecting plates depending from the housing of the plug to define a combustion chamber proximate to the electrodes of the spark plug. The plates may be radially disposed to direct combustion gases radially outward or angled to provide a spiralling motion to the combustion gases. An alternative embodiment provides a sleeve having the flame deflector plates depending axially therefrom in a similar fashion. A spark plug is threaded to internal threads of the sleeve such that the deflector plates are proximate to the electrodes of the spark plug.
