DISTRIBUTOR FOR INTERNAL-COMBUSTION ENGINE

PURPOSE:To enhance general purpose usability, by limiting the flow direction of a primary current to the center direction of a shaft, which serves as the core of a pickup coil, so as to prevent an ignition coil from being influenced by a change of magnetic flux due to the primary current. CONSTITUTION:An ignition timing control device 21 provides terminals 22, 23 radially for a rotor shaft 9, directing an inflow direction of a primary side current Ic in an ignition coil toward almost the center of the rotor shaft 9. Consequently, the device, preventing magnetic flux generated by a magnet from being influenced by the magnetic flux generated by the primary current, gives no influence to voltage induced in a detection coil 12. In this way, the device 21, deflecting its output terminals 22, 23 to the center part, causes no necessity of a control circuit 13 to decrease its area, and a distributor, whichever side of right or left a negative pressure responsive operated device 2 is mounted to, that is, whichever direction of clockwise or counter clockwise a stator core 6 rotates, can use the same ignition timing control device 21, improving general purpose usability.
