Abstract:
1. A starter comprising: a motor that generates torque by being energized; an output shaft that rotates by receiving the torque from the motor; a pinion movable body that includes a pinion for transmitting the torque of the motor to a ring gear of an internal combustion engine, and is provided on an outer circumference of the output shaft integrally with the pinion in a manner allowing movement along an axial direction of the output shaft, the internal combustion engine repeating alternately rotation in a negative direction and rotation in a positive direction immediately before stop of the internal combustion engine; a pinion-pushing means for pushing the pinion towards the ring gear; a motor current-supply means for turning ON and OFF energizing current flowing to the motor, the motor current-supply means operating separately and independently from the pinion-pushing means; and a shock absorbing device that is disposed on a torque transmitting path transmitting the torque of the motor to the pinion such that the torque of the motor is transmitted to the ring gear of the engine, the shock absorbing device comprising: wherein:
