摘要:
A work apparatus has an engine and a starter arrangement for the engine. The starter arrangement has an actuating unit and a coupling unit for connecting to a crankshaft of the engine. The actuating unit is rotatably mounted about a rotational axis. A coil spring is arranged between the actuating unit and the coupling unit. The spring has a contact surface in its region located radially inwardly in relation to the axis. At least one stub projects into the interior of the spring. The stub has a support surface in its region located radially outwardly relative to the axis. To achieve a comfortable actuating force, in the non-actuated state of the starter arrangement, a distance, which increases in size in the direction of the axis of the actuating unit, is formed between the contact surface and the support surface in a section of the spring.

A recoil starter system and method. The system may include a drive member, a pulley member, and a spring member. The drive member may include a first retainer, and the pulley member may include a second retainer, the retainers being engageable to connect the drive member and the pulley member and to inhibit relative axial movement between the pulley member and the drive member. The spring member may be configured to absorb and limit the variations in the pulling torque produced by the engine resulting in a smooth and constant pull force.

A spring assembly is mounted on a crankshaft for a vehicle. A selector mechanism for the spring assembly selectively connects the spring assembly to the crankshaft. The selector mechanism is engaged in a first position to connect the spring to the crankshaft when the engine is shut-off such that the crankshaft winds the spring as it rotates. The selector mechanism is then engaged in a second position such that the spring applies a rotational force to re-start the engine. A method for braking the engine includes engaging the crankshaft with the torsion spring and winding the torsion spring with rotation of the crankshaft until the tension within the torsion spring is greater than the force applied to the crankshaft.

A system to a provide a power supply that converts mechanical energy stored in a structure (such as a coil, spiral, or gas spring), to electrical energy to power a vehicle starter motor. After a motorist inputs mechanical energy into the structure (e.g., stresses or winds the spring or compresses a gas), the mechanical energy is released to exert, preferably through a coupled gear mechanism, mechanical energy on a device (such as a generator, dynamo, alternator, or other electrical generating device) that converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy. Such a feature allows for electrical energy to be available to power a vehicle starter motor and thus start a vehicle's engine even when the normal battery is weak or dead.

A hybrid powertrain for a vehicle is provided that includes an engine having a crankshaft and a motor/generator operatively connected to the crankshaft. An elastic member is operatively connected to the crankshaft and configured to be wound by one of the engine or the motor/generator. A one-way torque-transmitting mechanism is operatively connected to a first end portion of the elastic member and configured to overrun prior to winding of the elastic member. The elastic member is configured to be releasable to allow unwinding of the elastic member to rotate the crankshaft to restart the engine. A method of starting an engine on a hybrid vehicle is also provided.

A manual starter for an engine includes a main housing, an output shaft, a spring housing, a spring, and an attachment unit. The output shaft is disposed at least partially inside the main housing, and is configured to supply a starting torque to the engine. The spring housing is disposed in the main housing. This spring is disposed in the spring housing, and is configured to receive an initial force from a starter cord and to supply the starting torque to the output shaft. The attachment unit is configured to selectively couple the spring to the output shaft before the engine has started and decouple the spring from the output shaft after the engine has started.

An engine start device having a first start mode in which the engine is started on a spot by executing a start operation of the engine, and a second start mode in which a necessary accumulated force is previously accumulated in to start in one time in an optional place at an optional timing. In the first start mode, an accumulated force, accumulated by a rotation of a rotation drive section allows the engine to be started on the spot. If switched to the second start mode, the rotation of the rotation drive section is exclusively accumulated and released in the optional place at a desired time so as to start the engine in accordance with a one-touch operation.

A starter device for an internal combustion engine has a drive element and a output element. The drive element enables driving the starter device in rotation. The output element is supported rotatably about an axis of rotation and has a coupling device for releasably coupling the starter device to the crankshaft. A coil spring is arranged operatively between drive element and output element in an axial direction between a first abutment at the drive element and a second abutment at the output element. The first and second abutments have a first spacing relative to one another at least at one circumferential location in a first area and a second spacing relative to one another in a second area. The first and second spacings are measured parallel to the axis of rotation. The first spacing is smaller than the second spacing. The first area is radially outside of the second area.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a recoil starter including: a case includes a support shaft formed thereon; a rope reel rotatably disposed on the support shaft; a recoil rope wound on the rope reel; a recoil spring that rotationally energizes the rope reel; a cam of an engine side; a power storing spring interposed between the rope reel and the cam; and a ratchet mechanism interposed between the rope reel and the cam. The ratchet mechanism includes: a ratchet shaft formed on the rope reel, a ratchet member having: a base portion oscillatably and slidably supported through an elongated hole on the ratchet shaft, and a ratchet pawl engageable with an engaging portion of the cam, and an energizer that energizes the base portion toward an uneven inner peripheral surface of the case.

A recoil starter includes a reel/cam unit defined with a rope reel wound with a starter rope and urged to pivot in a direction of reeling the starter rope, and a cam in a cylindrical shape for transmitting rotation of the rope reel to an output shaft on a side of an engine. A damper unit connects the rope reel and the cam, and a reel support shaft supports the rope reel and the cam. A draw-out preventing unit restricts the reel/cam unit from being moved along the reel support shaft. One side of the cam is extended to form a cylindrical extended portion, where the rope reel is fitted to an outer side of the cylindrical extended portion. The cylindrical extended portion is rotatably fitted to an outer side of the reel support shaft.
