Patent ID: 7789079

Claim:
An improved combined ignition coil and rocker arm cover assembly for internal combustion engines having Distributorless Ignition Systems, said assembly being mountable to the head of said internal combustion engines, comprising in operative combination: a. an elongated, longitudinally extending, open-bottom shell housing, having generally an inverted-U shape in vertical cross-section, a pair of spaced vertical longitudinally extending side walls that are joined at each end by end walls that are continuations of and join the respective side walls, the bottom of said side walls being configured to sealingly engage the head of an internal combustion engine in mounted position; b. said shell housing having a horizontal partition wall spanning between said vertical side walls and disposed medially between the open bottom and a flattened top of said housing; c. said partition dividing said housing into an upper coil chamber and a lower rocker arm chamber to provide a “coil-over” mounting arrangement; d. said upper coil chamber being divided into a removable lid member and a coil mounting recess along a parting line disposed medially between said partition and the surface of said lid; e. said upper coil chamber including a plurality of apertures in one longitudinal side wall through which plug wires may be fed to coils mounted in said coil chamber; f. a coil mounting bracket configured to receive a plurality of coils mounted in generally parallel relationship thereon so that coil sockets can be directly accessed and engaged with plug wires through said side wall apertures; g. said side wall apertures being disposed in said side wall so that said apertures are substantially horizontally and medially split by said partition line such that approximately half the aperture is in the lid and half is in the coil recess side wall above said horizontal partition wall h. a pair of upstanding bosses disposed extending upwardly from said horizontal partition wall adjacent opposed longitudinal ends of said coil mounting recess, said bosses being threaded to receive mounting screws for securing said coil mounting bracket thereto; and i. a conduit extending from an aperture in said lid through said coil chamber and exiting through said horizontal partition, said conduit being isolated from said coil chamber and providing dual function of oil fill and crankcase vapor exhaust.
