ABSTRACT:
A spark plug for an internal combustion engine includes a central electrode, and an earth electrode disposed in opposed relation to the central electrode on an axis of the central electrode to thereby form a spark gap between the central electrode and the earth electrode. The central electrode has a pillar-like portion provided at a distal end thereof disposed close to the spark gap, the pillar-like portion having a predetermined thickness corresponding to an intended lifetime of the spark plug. The central electrode also has a smaller-diameter portion disposed adjacent to a proximal end of the pillar-like portion, the smaller-diameter portion being smaller in diameter than the pillar-like portion. The pillar-like portion and the smaller-diameter portion are interconnected in a step-like manner. A step portion may be provided between the pillar-like portion and the smaller-diameter portion so as to limit the position of a spark discharge. The central electrode may have a pillar-like shape, in which case the central electrode is radially inwardly reduced intermediate opposite ends thereof to form the smaller-diameter portion, so that the distal end portion of the central electrode disposed close to the earth electrode is formed into the pillar-like portion.
