Abstract:
A method for manufacturing the spark plug comprising bending a ground electrode that is joined to a metal shell, along a first die, the first die having an end portion to be pressed against an inner surface of the ground electrode, and a flat surface portion contiguous to the end portion via a curved portion bulging outward, the flat surface portion being formed to be orthogonal to an axial line and includes a first step of pressing the end portion of the first die against the ground electrode.

Claim (Index 2):
The method for manufacturing the spark plug according to  claim 1 , the method further comprising\n a second step of bending the ground electrode by using a second die which is a roller to be rolled on an outer surface, of the ground electrode, which is a surface on a side opposite to the inner surface toward the second end portion while pressing the outer surface, such that the ground electrode is fitted along the flat surface portion with the end portion of the first die acting as a fulcrum, wherein a position at which the second die is first pressed against the ground electrode in the second step is a position that is closer, in the direction of the axial line, to the second end portion than a position at which the end portion of the first die is pressed.
