BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to spark plugs and the means to increase compression in the combustion area of an internal combustion engine by extending the threaded section to protrude deep into the combustion dome.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Most spark plugs are designed to increase usage time by using special materials to keep said spark plug from fouling or wearing out. Some spark plugs are designed with different electrode tip formations to increase combustion efficiency.

The present invention is designed to increase the combustion pressure of most internal combustion engines. Extending the spark plug's threaded section into the combustion area or dome, less volume remains for said combustion area. With less volume in the combustion area the piston now squeezes the fuel vapors into a tighter space. This higher compression will yield an increase of power output in most gasoline engines.

The present invention distinguishes itself from any previous spark plugs by the extended threaded section and double nuts to lock in the preferred depth.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is an original design for a spark plug to be used as a `compression increasing` object. Said spark plug has a longer threaded section than any other spark plug, which is threaded deeper into the combustion chamber or dome.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows a side view of one embodiment of the maximum compression spark plug of this invention.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of another embodiment consisting of a surface gap maximum compression spark plug installed in a typical head of an engine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1 shows the basic layout of a compression increasing spark plug. Some of the parts are familiar in design such as, the insulator 1, the body or shell 2, the extended nose 5, the electrode 6, and the electrode tip 7. The style, size, or the material of the above said parts is not relative to the present invention.

The extended threaded section 4 and the locking nuts 3 are the parts that are unique to the present invention.

FIG. 2 shows a compression increasing spark plug installed in a basic internal combustion engine. The cylinder head 9, cylinder 10, and piston 11 represent the relationship of the location and placement to understand the means in which the present invention raises compression.

A pair of locking nuts 3 will be tightened against each other to lock on the extended threaded section 4. The locking nuts 3 also allows the user to adjust the amount of compression gained by varying the height of said locking nuts 3 which determines how deep the extended threaded section 4, the extended nose 5, and any electrode 6 extends into the combustion chamber 8 which lowers the volume of said area and makes the compression raise in the combustion chamber 8.

The surface gap electrode 12 would be a better choice due to its solid end, which allows for even higher compression than the hollowed end electrode tip 7 type spark plug.

The threaded section of a spark plug that inserted in to a cylinder head is extended to obtain space that will raise the compression of said combustion area. Generally, this spark plug should be designed to fill as much space as possible. This said protrusion would normally be cylindrical in shape and may contain any electrode tip and material combination including the surface gap type spark plug that would be preferred.
