Description: |
| Abstract:
The object of this invention is the production of an electric igniter for gas and similar engines which is comparatively simple and durable in construction and reliable in operation, which can be readily adjusted while the engine is running for varying the time of producing the spark, and in which the rock-shaft supporting the movable contact is relieved from undue wear.
Claim:
An electric igniter for gas-engines comprising stationary and movable contacts, a latch yieldingly connected with the movable contact, a rocking trip-lever, a pawl arranged on one end of the lever and adapted to engage with said latch, an actuating mechanism connected with the opposite end of said lever for oscillating the same, an eccentric upon which said lever is journaled and which is provided at opposite ends with trunnions, a bifurcated supporting-bracket provided with bearings on its members in which said trunnions are journaled, an adjusting-handle connected with one of said trunnions and provided with a segmental slot, and a clamping-bolt arranged in said slot, substantially as set forth.
