  • Engine starter
    Patent number: 4779470
    Abstract: An engine starter in which a driven gear driven by the rotor of a starter motor and an output shaft driving a pinion meshing with the driven gear of an engine are mutually connected through a unidirectional clutch. The gear driven by the rotor and the clutch member driven by the driven gear are rotatably supported by, but separate from, the output shaft. Connection between the driven gear and the clutch member for torque transmission purposes is effected through a torque damper whereby the transmitted torque will be damped and engine noise reduced.
