Patent ID: 11973323

Abstract:
A spark plug includes: a cylindrical insulator; a center electrode, held on an inner circumferential side of the insulator, protruding from the insulator toward a tip end side; a cylindrical housing holding the insulator on an inner circumferential side; a ground electrode forming a discharge gap between the ground electrode and the center electrode on the inner circumferential side of the housing; and a plug cover provided in a tip end portion of the housing to cover a pre-combustion chamber in which the discharge gap is arranged. The plug cover is provided with an injection hole that communicates the pre-combustion chamber to the outside. The ground electrode includes a discharge-side end portion that faces the discharge gap and a joining-side end portion that is joined to the housing. The discharge-side end portion is arranged further toward a base end side in an axial direction than the joining-side end portion is.
