Abstract: A starter having a one-way clutch connects with an output shaft via helical spline. A braking member is provided in a bearing portion of a center case adjacent to an end of the center case away from the motor. The clutch moves toward the rear via a lever when the starter is stopped, and a flange portion, provided at a rear end of a barrel portion, presses against the braking member. As a result, the rotation of the clutch stops within a short time period.

Abstract: In a starter, a motor rotation shaft and an output shaft are connected through a reduction device. The output shaft is held rotatably by a rear bearing. The bearing has a plurality of through holes between the inner surface and the outer surface. A housing of the starter has a holding part for holding the bearing. A groove is formed annularly in the inner peripheral surface of the holding part. The groove is communicated with the through holes of the bearing. A seal member is press-fit in the holding part in proximity to a pinion gear side of the bearing. The seal member prevents foreign substances from entering the bearing surface of the bearing and inhibits the flowing out of lubricant from the bearing.

Abstract: According to the present invention, in a winding structure of a starter, in which a shunt coil 1 is wound around a bobbin 2 shaped like U in a cross section, the shunt coil 1 wound around the bobbin 2 is taped and fixed at a plurality of places together with the bobbin 2, and the shunt coil 1 is placed into a yoke of a starter in this state, the bobbin 2 has a notch 6 which is formed with a depth larger than a winding height of the shunt coil 1 on both of side winding frames of the bobbin 2 at a taping position.

Abstract: In electrically connecting a starting motor and a magnet switch, a lead wire is shaped into a substantially V-shape. Then, the lead wire is arranged in a molding die and a sleeve is integrally molded with the lead wire. A seal portion of the sleeve fluid-tightly engages with insertion portions of a yoke and an end frame of the motor. While assembling the starting motor and the magnet switch, it is unnecessary to manually bend the lead wire during connection of the lead wire. Therefore, deformation of the seal portion is decreased, thereby maintaining the starting motor to be waterproof and facilitating the assembly of the starting motor.

Abstract: A starter for an internal combustion engine is comprised of an armature, a motor case, a planetary gear speed reduction mechanism connected to an armature shaft, a frame and a partition plate disposed between the motor case and the frame. The partition plate has an armature-shaft hole and a chamber-connection passage between the armature shaft hole and the armature shaft for connecting the motor chamber and the speed reduction chamber. An undulating circumferential groove is formed between the partition plate and the frame to connect the speed reduction chamber and the outside. A long water drainpipe is removed from a starter for a recreational vehicle.

Abstract: A starter for an internal combustion engine includes a planetary gear speed reduction mechanism, a pinion and a pinion drive shaft, a motor, a front housing having a plurality of fastening holes disposed at a circumference and a center casing having approximately the same outside diameter as the motor housing. The center housing is disposed between the motor housing and the front housing to align a motor shaft, the planetary gear speed reduction mechanism and the pinion drive shaft. The diameter of the motor housing is a maximum outside diameter of the fastening bolt less than the diameter of a circumference on which the fastening bolts are formed. Therefore, fastening bolts can be easily inserted into the fastening holes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing alicyclic hydrazine derivatives, tetrahydropyridazine and hexahydropyridazine which are useful as intermediate starting materials such as medicines and agricultural chemicals. Especially, the present invention provides; a process for producing an alicyclic hydrazine derivative or its hydrohalogenic acid salt, which comprises reacting a hydrazine hydrohalogenic acid salt with a doil compound or an alicyclic ether compound in the presence of an excessive inorganic acid existing in a free form or in the form of an acid addition salt; a process for producing tetrahydropyridazine from 1-aminopyrrolidine, which comprises oxidizing 1-aminopyrrolidine with an oxidizing agent to form tetrahydropyridazine; and a process for producing hexahydropyridazine, which comprises oxidizing 1-aminopyrrolidine with an oxidizing agent, synthesizing tetrahydropyridazine, and thereafter, hydrogenating the tetrahydropyridazine in the presence of a base.

Abstract: A method of producing a choline having a high purity without containing by-products by using a molecule-inclusion complex of the choline as a starting material. A choline inclusion complex without containing by-products is obtained by reacting an aqueous solution of the choline containing, as by-products, those cholines to which are added ethylene oxides with host molecules such as of 1,1'-bis-.beta.-naphthol, and is further reacted with a carbon dioxide gas in order to obtain an aqueous solution of a choline carbonate and/or a choline bicarbonate of a high purity, which is then subjected to the electrolysis using a cation-exchange membrane as a diaphragm, in order to obtain an aqueous solution of the choline of a high purity without containing by-products. The choline that is obtained is a strongly basic compound having a high purity and is very useful as a photoresist-developing solution.

Abstract: A starter comprises a planetary gear reduction mechanism including an internal gear provided with a cylindrical chamber, a rotary disk, and a friction disk for restricting the rotary disk. The rotary disk is prevented from angularly moving with respect to the internal gear through an elastic member. When a larger load is applied to the internal gear which the elastic member cannot absorb, the rotary disk is released from the friction disk to angularly move to absorb such larger load.

Abstract: A starter switch device controls the application of an electric current from a power source to a starter motor and drives a pinion for transmitting the rotation of said starter motor to engage with a ring gear of an internal combustion engine. The starter switch device includes a shaft provided movably in the axial direction thereof, and open-close operation of electrical contacts for communicating the power source with the starter motor and also the driving of the pinion are carried out via the shaft. Further, there is provided a motor for driving this shaft, and the shaft and the motor are connected through a mechanism for transforming the rotation of the motor into the linear movement of the shaft.
