Patent ID: 7973623

Claim:
A starter for engines comprising: a motor having an armature that generates torque, being energized from a battery by closing a main point of contact provided in a motor circuit; an output shaft to which the torque of the motor is transmitted via a clutch; a pinion gear directly connected with a perimeter of the output shaft via a helical spline engagement; a switch coil that is energized from the battery by closing a starting switch; a plunger that moves in an inner circumference of the switch coil in response to a magnetism that the switch coil generates; and an electromagnetic switch that opens and closes the main point of contact interlocked with a motion of the plunger and pushes out the pinion gear in a direction of an anti-motor side via a shift lever, wherein the electromagnetic switch is composed with one coil such that the switch coil and a starting circuit are separated electrically, and wherein the pinion gear is pushed out in the direction of the anti-motor side via the shift lever interlocked with the motion of the plunger without moving the clutch in the direction of the anti-motor side.
