摘要： A starter for cranking an internal combustion engine is composed of an electric motor, an output shaft driven by the electric motor, a pinion gear unit helical-spline-coupled to the output shaft, and a magnetic switch for supplying electric power to the electric motor in an ON-and-OFF fashion and for engaging or disengaging the pinion gear unit with a ring gear of the engine. The pinion gear unit is made by fixedly connecting a pinion gear, a rotation-restricting ring and a bearing member together. These components are separately formed from one another and then assembled to a unitary body of the pinion gear unit. Therefore, they can be forged with simple dies, or may be manufactured by other methods such as machining.

摘要： In a rotor of a rotary electric machine, a rotor core is formed by helically winding a material sheet. The material sheet forms teeth on a first side of a middle connecting portion and projections projecting from a second side of the connecting portion in a direction opposite to the teeth. The material sheet is one of a pair of material sheets formed in a single base sheet in a form of belt. In the base sheet, the material sheets are arranged such that the projections are intermeshed with each other. The material sheet is helically wound such that the projections are located at an inner diameter side of the rotor core.

摘要： A starter solenoid switch according to the present invention includes a first and a second set of contacts that are disposed between a battery and a starter motor in parallel with each other. The first and the second sets of contacts are so configured that the second set of contacts is closed to supply a lighter electric current to the starter motor before the first set of contacts is closed to supply a heavier electric current to the same. The second set of contacts is composed of a second fixed contact and a second movable contact, one of which includes a low-resistance portion at one end thereof and a high-resistance portion that contains more carbon than the low-resistance portion. The low-resistance and the high-resistance portions are serially disposed along a conducting path of electric current from the battery to the starter motor, thereby ensuring reliability of the starter solenoid switch.

摘要： A pinion gear of a starter is engaged with a ring gear of an internal combustion engine by restricting rotation of the pinion gear while driving a motor at a low speed. After the engagement is established, the motor is driven at a full speed by supplying a full current, thereby cranking up the engine. After the engine is cranked up, the engagement between the pinion gear and the ring gear is released. In order to prevent the motor from being driven at the full speed before the pinion gear fully engages with the ring gear, rigidity of a crank bar for restricting the pinion rotation is made sufficiently high to generate a spring-load that exceeds a force for driving a plunger that closes a switch for supplying the full current.

摘要： A pinion gear of a starter is engaged with a ring gear of an internal combustion engine by restricting rotation of the pinion gear while driving a motor at a low speed. After the engagement is established, the motor is driven at a full speed by supplying a full current, thereby cranking up the engine. A crank bar for transferring movement of a plunger in a magnetic switch to a pinion-rotation-restricting member is divided into two or three portions. After the divided portions are assembled to the starter, they are connected together to form a solid piece. In this manner, a process of assembling the crank bar into the starter is simplified.

摘要： A method of manufacturing a yoke includes a step of cutting a steel plate into a rectangular sheet having a plurality of first dovetail convexities at one end thereof and a plurality of second dovetail convexities at the other end, a step of rolling the rectangular sheet into a cylinder to fit the first dove tails and the second dove tails to each other and a step of punching border portions of the first dove tails and the second dove tails. The second dovetail convexities are formed to be the same in shape as the first dovetail convexities so that they can fit to the first dovetail convexities. A smooth-faced yoke can be manufacture without using an expensive welder.

摘要： In an armature, a slot insulation paper provided in a slot of an armature core protrudes from an insulation plate in the axial direction. A part of the slot insulation paper that faces an outer peripheral surface of a coil end is cut out to expose the outer peripheral surface of the coil end. A reinforcing ring is fitted at the axial outside of the armature core to surround the exposed outer peripheral surface of the coil end. Accordingly, the reinforcing ring is disposed close to the armature core in the axial direction. Therefore, a straight portion of the coil end is shortened by an amount of cut of the slot insulation paper, and as a result, the axial length of the armature is shortened.
