==IMPROVED CONTACT SURFACE OF THE SPARK PLUG JACKET - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055836 titled 'IMPROVED CONTACT SURFACE OF THE SPARK PLUG JACKET

==Simplified Explanation==

The present invention is a spark plug jacket for a combustion engine, designed to improve sealing towards a coolant cavity.

* Spark plug jacket has a contact surface for cylinder head of engine
* Contact surface has different angular offsets in first and second states
* First state without spark plug, larger angular offset
* Second state with spark plug, smaller angular offset

---

### Potential Applications
* Automotive industry
* High performance engines
* Large combustion engines

### Problems Solved
* Improved sealing towards coolant cavity
* Better contact surface with cylinder head
* Enhanced performance of spark plug

### Benefits
* Prevents coolant leakage
* Increases engine efficiency
* Reduces maintenance needs


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present invention pertains to a spark plug jacket, e.g. for a large or high performance combustion engine, and a corresponding method of manufacturing a spark plug jacket, in particular to provide an improved sealing towards a coolant cavity. accordingly, a spark plug jacket is suggested, comprising a contact surface for contacting a support surface of a cylinder head of a combustion engine, wherein in a first state, when a spark plug is not mounted in the spark plug jacket, at least a portion of the contact surface of the spark plug jacket defines a first angular offset to a contact surface direction defined by the support surface of the cylinder head and, in a second state, when the spark plug is mounted to the spark plug jacket, said portion defines a second angular offset, wherein the first angular offset is larger than the second angular offset.
