Rope starter for engines
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6545855
A rope starter for engines is described wherein the starter includes a pulley rotatable in a cranking direction and a rope recoiling direction having a helically splined connection with a driving member. Relative rotation between the pulley and driving member causes the member to move axially toward and from engagement with a driven member. And rotation of the driving member with the pulley upon engagement of the driving member rotates the driven member when the pulley is rotating in the cranking direction. A friction brake selectively resists rotation of the driving member and axial movement of the driving member. A friction brake restraining means selectively restrains the friction brake against rotation with the driving member. A brake operation delay means interposes between the friction brake and the friction brake restraining means delays operation of the friction brake when the pulley is initially rotated in the cranking direction and until the pulley has rotated approximately one half of a revolution.
