A cylinder of a combustion engine for a vehicle includes at least one intake duct and a spark plug which in turn includes a ground electrode. The spark plug is mounted in the cylinder such that during an operation of the combustion engine the ground electrode is cooled in as optimum a manner as possible by an airflow generated by the at least one intake duct. A spark plug and a method for manufacturing a cylinder of a combustion engine are also provided.

A spark plug includes: a metallic shell having a through hole extending in a direction of an axis; a cap covering an opening in the metallic shell; a melt portion formed between the cap and the metallic shell to join the cap and the metallic shell to each other; and a gap extending from a specific space which is surrounded by the metallic shell and the cap to the melt portion and interposed between the metallic shell and the cap.

A spark plug (20) for being threaded into a cylinder head (28) includes a shell (24) with threads (26) disposed at a predetermined angled relative to the ground electrode (34). The position of the threads (26) relative to the ground electrode (34) places the ground electrode (34) in a predetermined position in the combustion chamber (22) and relative to components of the engine, thus allowing the ground electrode (34) to provide a robust and reliable ignition. The threads (26) are formed by a thread forming apparatus (102) that includes an orientation tool (38) to position the ground electrode (34) relative to a thread forming apparatus (102), allowing the thread forming apparatus (102) to form the threads (26) at the desired angle (α).

Provided is a technique which realizes securement of gas-tightness and suppression of loosening of a gasket. A spark plug includes a tubular metallic shell extending in an axial direction, and an annular gasket provided around the metallic shell. The gasket is solid and contains copper as a main component and nickel in an amount of 0.1 wt. % or more. The gasket has a maximum thickness of 0.4 mm or more in the axial direction, and the gasket has a Vickers hardness of 30 HV to 150 HV.

A spark gap arrangement includes a discharge chamber, an electrode head and a contact connection arranged outside the discharge chamber. The electrode head is electrically conductively connected and mechanically coupled to the contact connection in such a way that, when the contact connection is removed from its position or when the contact connection reaches a preset position, the electrically conductive connection is interrupted, and the electrode head is mechanically decoupled from the contact connection so that the electrode head is movable in the direction of the discharge chamber interior and/or within the discharge chamber.

An assembly includes an engine main body, a spark plug and a gasket. The spark plug is mounted to the engine main body by tightening a male-threaded portion of the spark plug into a female-threaded portion of the engine main body with the gasket elastically deformed between a seat surface of the engine main body and a seating surface of the spark plug. The gasket is made of a metallic material whose yield stress or 0.2% proof stress is not lower than 200 N/mm2. The gasket has first and second contact surfaces respectively in contact with the seating surface of the spark plug and the seat surface of the engine main body. The first and second contact surfaces of the gasket are each formed as a part of a curved surface that has a convex shape, and are offset from each other in a radial direction of the spark plug.

A spark plug includes an insulating insulator and a metal shell. The metal shell includes a caulking portion, a seat portion with a tapering surface, a thread portion with a thread size equal to or less than M12, and a protrusion. The insulating insulator includes a lock portion locked to the protrusion, and is secured to the metal shell in a state held between the caulking portion and the protrusion.

A gasket is made of metal, has a solid annular shape, and is provided on the outer circumference of a metallic shell of a spark plug between an externally threaded portion and a seat portion of the metallic shell. A method of manufacturing the gasket includes a blanking step of blanking a flat plate of a metal material, thereby yielding a ring member which is to become the gasket, and an annealing step of annealing the ring member so as to lower the hardness of the ring member below that of the metal member, thereby yielding the gasket.

A spark plug includes an insulator, a terminal electrode, a center electrode, a resistor, and a glass seal layer. The terminal electrode has: a recess part opened to the front end side and having a depth in a center axis direction of the terminal electrode; and a flat part neighboring the recess part at its outer circumference side. The relationship 0.52≦B/A≦0.91 is satisfied, wherein A (mm2) represents an area of a region surrounded by an outline of an outer circumference surface of the terminal electrode, and B (mm2) which represents an area of a region of the terminal electrode surrounded by an outline of an inner surface of the recess part, in a cross section orthogonal to the center axis and located 0.1 mm away from a front end along the center axis to the rear end side.
