Abstract: Motor vehicle starter comprising a starter head provided with a pinion (1), a driver (2) and a coupling device with a conical clutch for coupling the pinion to the driver (2), in which the conical clutch comprises a first frustoconical friction surface (8) fixed to the pinion and a second frustoconical friction surface (8?) with a shape complementary to the first surface (8) and fixed to the driver and in which the coupling device comprises on the one hand a hollow-shaped coupling piece having. a bottom extended by an annular skirt directed axially towards one of the elements consisting of pinion and driver and on the other hand axially acting elastic means (10) bearing on a first stop fixed to the coupling piece for acting on a second stop fixed to one of the elements consisting of pinion and driver. The elastic means comprise axially deformable tongues (10b) and extend circumferentially.

Abstract: The starter for a motor vehicle comprises a starter head provided with a driver (12) and a pinion (1), an electric motor (M) provided with a shaft (101) able to drive a starter-head shaft (100), an electromagnetic contactor (2) extending parallel to the electric motor (M) above it and comprising a movable core (2d), a fork (13) mounted with articulation at its top end on the movable core (2b); the driver (12) comprises a groove for receiving the bottom end of the fork (13) delimited by two flanks (121, 122) whilst the starter head is locked in rotation by means of cooperation between the fork (13) and the driver (12) for its passage from its idle position to its position of meshing with the starting ring.
