A shock absorber adapted for use with the swivel bracket assembly of an outboard motor or the like, is disclosed, which swivel bracket assembly permits rotation of the motor to clear an underwater object if and when a boat strikes such an object. The shock absorber has a two stage operation in that it permits a swivel bracket assembly to rotate and provides a counterforce that is initially lower, and after some degree of rotation, preferably sufficient to have the drive shaft housing clear the object, provides a higher counterforce to continued rotation.

A tiller arm for a marine propulsion device, the tiller arm comprising a first end adapted to be connected to a propulsion unit, a second end spaced from the first end, a longitudinal axis, and a selectively actuable switch including annular selectively deformable structure surrounding the axis, deformation of the deformable structure resulting in actuation of the switch.
摘要:
A fuel injected, internal combustion engine that is protected from detrimental ignition due to pocket sparking. The engine includes one or more cylinders into which fuel is injected by an injector. A spark plug is used to ignite the fuel-air mixture within the cylinder. The spark plug is designed with a base and a shell extending from the base to define a hollow interior. A central electrode is disposed in an insulative core and extends through the hollow interior of the shell. The shell is connected to a secondary electrode. A gap is formed between the electrodes for promulgation of a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture. The detrimental effects of pocket sparking are eliminated by placing a closure member between a terminal end of the shell and the nose of the insulative core. This closure member may be in the form of a lip that extends from the shell into proximity with the nose of the insulative core.
