          Application 08/206,669                                                      


           in the Examiner’s Answer at page 6.  Thus, claims 1 through 5,             
            11, 12, 14 and 20 through 23 remain under appeal.                         


             The invention relates to an ignition device for an internal              
                combustion engine.  Electrical connections among coil                 
              windings, connectors, switching assemblies and integrated               
             circuits are made using integrated conductors instead of a               
                                 wire harness.                                        
            Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:              
               1. An ignition coil for an internal combustion engine,                 
                                     comprising:                                      
             a plurality of voltage transforming sections, each voltage               
                           transforming section including                             
             a plurality of windings having one of an end portion and a               
                                     terminal,                                        
                 at least one bobbin for aligning said windings, and                  
              a plurality of iron cores for magnetically coupling said                
                               plurality of windings;                                 
           a plurality of conductors connected to said one of the winding             
            ends and terminals of said plurality of voltage transforming              
                                    sections; and                                     
           a resin part for integrating said plurality of conductors as a             
                             first integrated conductor.                              



                                          2-2-
