Abstract: A motor starting assembly for starting a pull start motor includes a cup that is attachable to a flywheel of a pull start motor. A cylinder is insertable into the cup and the cylinder engages the cup when the cylinder is rotated in a first direction. In this way the cylinder can rotate the crankshaft of the pull start motor for starting the pull start motor. The cylinder disengages the cup when the when the rotational speed of the cup exceeds the rotational speed of the cylinder. In this way the cylinder facilitate the pull start motor to run without rotating the cylinder. An adapter is releasably attachable to the cylinder and a power drill thereby facilitating the power drill to rotate the cylinder when the power drill is turned on for starting the pull start motor.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a device for starting an internal combustion engine for handheld equipment such as chain saws, lawn mowers, lawn trimmers and the like, or for vehicles such as mopeds, boats or miniature aircraft. The starting device features an output element into which a starter torque can be introduced when the starting device is actuated. The output element is functionally connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine in order to introduce a crankshaft torque therein. The functional connection between the output element and the crankshaft introduces variable crankshaft torque into the crankshaft depending on the rotational angle of the crankshaft at a constant starter torque. This advantageously improves force or torque characteristics for largely operating the starter device independently of the compression phase and the expansion phase of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: An outer race support plate to which torque of a pinion gear is transmitted from a ring gear via a one-way clutch and thus rotates a crankshaft is provided separately from a flywheel and is mounted to the crankshaft not via the flywheel. As a result, impact noise produced when the one-way clutch engages is not directly transmitted to the flywheel. Accordingly, noise radiation from the flywheel can be suppressed, thereby enabling noise to be reduced.

Abstract: An inertia-drive starter is proposed, in the case of which a relay is not required to engage the pinion in the flywheel ring gear (47) of an internal combustion engine. With this starter, a pushing-forward of the driven shaft (33) to engage a pinion (45) in the flywheel ring gear (47) is brought about by means of a pole tube (9) located on the stator (5) of the starter motor (5, 7), which said pole tube executes a turning motion around the motor axis when the starter motor (5, 7) is energized. Means (55, 63, 77, 79) are provided that convert the turning motion of the pole tube (9) directly into an axial motion acting on the driven shaft (33).

The device includes an electric motor with a coupling mechanism, enables the electric motor to be coupled to the turbine and start the turbine in operation and thereafter, decouple from the turbine after the turbine of the engine has started rotating.

Abstract: A hydraulic starter for gas turbine engines comprises a one piece shaft located in a motor cylinder block and having an internally splined end that extends outside of the cylinder block and is adapted to receive a coupling shaft that in turn engages a turbine shaft, a clutch concentrically mounted about the shaft in the cylinder block and shaft bearings also concentrically mounted about the shaft in the cylinder block. The starter also includes a valve plate and at least one outer bearing, and may include a spring member. The valve plate and the at least one outer bearing support the cylinder block.

The starter mechanism being contained in a single case, coupled to a single gear attached to the model engines crankshaft. The starter case being sufficiently small so as to allow it to be mounted directly to the model toys internal combustion engine. An electrical starter motor attached to the starter mechanism case, for cranking the engine, operating from the internal batteries on board the model toy. A remotely controlled servo starting circuit that energizes the engines ignitor plug, allowing sufficient preheat time, and activates the starter motor, from signals provided by the radio receiver on board the model toy vehicle.

Abstract: A starter drive is disclosed for a starting system of an internal combustion engine. A pinion is rotatably mounted on the starter motor shaft for engagement with the ring gear on the fly wheel of the engine. A drive sleeve disposed coaxially of the shaft is coupled with the pinion through an overrunning clutch. A helical cam and follower are connected between the shaft and the drive sleeve for advancing and retracting the pinion according to the relative speeds of the drive sleeve and the shaft. A friction brake is provided for the drive sleeve to restrain it against rotation during advancing movement of the starter drive. The starter motor has a permanent magnet field and the armature is connected across an electromagnet by the starter switch when it is turned off to provide dynamic braking for the motor. The electromagnet coacts with the permanent magnet brake to disable the friction brake while the motor is slowing down.

Abstract: An internal-combustion starter assembly has a starter motor whose axially displaceable output gear meshes in a forwardly advanced position with an engine gear and which is out of mesh with this engine gear in a backwardly retracted position. Operating mechanism for this gear includes a control motor having a rotary output shaft carrying a cam with a noncircular cam periphery. A cam follower is radially engageable with this cam periphery and is coupled by means of a control rod and a link to the starter-motor gear to displace this gear between its advanced and retracted positions on rotation of the cam through 360.degree.. A control arrangement includes a start switch for operating the control motor to displace the starter-motor gear from its retracted position into its advanced position and then back into its retracted position, and for energizing the starter motor when the starter-motor gear is in the advanced position.
