Redundant Magneto For Race Car

View page
US Patent:
59540370, Sep 21, 1999
Filed:
Jul 6, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/110583
Inventors:
French Grimes - Haywood VA
International Classification:
F02P 1500
F02P 900
US Classification:
123640
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a magneto having two sets of primary windings and no secondary windings which will allow the magneto to function as an ignition source even though one set of primary windings fail. Each primary winding provides current to an independent set of points, condensers, high voltage transformers, and then to a common distributor. The magneto will also continue to function even though one set of points, one condenser, one high voltage transformer or one secondary winding fails. The primary windings are formed, by winding two wires joined by insulation onto a common laminated core.

US Patent:
57043221, Jan 6, 1998
Filed:
Feb 6, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/796518
Inventors:
French H. Grimes - Haywood VA
International Classification:
F02P 702
US Classification:
1231465A
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to an articulated clamp for maintaining a distributor housing in a fixed rotational position on an engine block. The one piece articulated clamp allows the distributor to be removed and replaced very fast while maintaining the correct engine timing. The articulation allows for variations in engine block mounting surfaces without the need to reposition the articulated mounting clamp on the distributor shaft housing.
