Patent CA-2101606-A1 (CA)
Title: Compound planetary gear apparatus for a motor vehicle starter motor
Inventor: SZALAY MICHAEL A
IPC: F02N15/04
Filed: 1993-07-29
Abstract: Abstract An apparatus for transferring rotation from an armature shaft of the starter motor of a vehicle to an output shaft is disclosed.  The apparatus comprises a pinion mounted on the armature shaft, a relatively stationary ring gear, a plurality of planet shafts, and a plurality of planetary gear sets.  Each of the planet shafts is connected to the output shaft and is orbitable about the armature shaft.  Each planetary gear set includes two planet gears mounted on an associated planet shaft.  One of the planet gears engages the pinion so that the rotation of the pinion is transferred to the first planet gear.  The other planet gear is rotatable with the first planet gear, and engages the ring gear so that the associated planet shaft orbits the armature shaft and imparts rotation to the output shaft sufficient to crank the engine.
