The abstract describes a method for manufacturing a soldered product. The process involves using a cylindrical soldering iron with a through hole to supply a thread solder piece to the solder object. The thread solder piece is made up of a core containing a flux and a coating member containing a solder alloy. The flux contains a rosin with an acid value as its main component. The thread solder piece is then heated with the soldering iron to melt it at the solder object portion. Finally, the melting object of the thread solder piece is cured to solder the solder object portion.

The abstract describes an ignition coil that consists of a coil unit, a joint, and a spring. The joint connects the coil unit to a spark plug, and the spring is inserted into the joint to create an electrical connection between the coil unit and the spark plug. The joint is made of electrically insulating material with rubber elasticity. The spring has three sections - a base section, a head section, and an intermediate section between them. The intermediate section is wound more tightly than the other sections when the spring is not under load. This design helps to reduce the risk of corona discharge in the ignition coil and improves the productivity of the ignition device.
