Abstract:
A spark plug device that includes a spark plug and a sealing ring, and a method for producing the same. The spark plug may include a body, an insulator, a center electrode, and a ground electrode. The sealing ring is secured to the body in a captive fashion. A fastening section of the body has an outer diameter that is greater than an inner diameter of the sealing ring, which has been reshaped from a flat sealing ring blank into a conical sealing ring.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for producing a spark plug device, wherein the method comprises the following steps:\n preparing a spark plug that has a fastening section with a fastening section outer diameter and a retaining groove, the retaining groove has a groove diameter that is smaller than the fastening section outer diameter, and the spark plug also has a conical sealing surface; providing a sealing ring blank that has a center axis, two end surfaces, and a blank inner diameter, at least one of the two end surfaces is oriented essentially perpendicular to the center axis, and the blank inner diameter is greater than the fastening section outer diameter; sliding the sealing ring blank over the fastening section in an axial direction; and pressing the sealing ring blank against the conical sealing surface so that the sealing ring blank is reshaped into a sealing ring that has an inner section whose diameter is smaller than the fastening section outer diameter.
