13 Claims.
This invention relates in general to mechanical starters for internal'combustion engines, and
more particular to those engines 'of the marine' outboard type. v
One of my principal objects is to provide improvements in a safety device to protect the starting mechanism from damage, as well as the operator from injury, due to a kick-back or in back-firing during the starting operation.
More particularly stated it is my object to pro*- vide an improved ratchet means between the starting mechanism and the motor that is both dependable in operation and relatively cheap to construct, and can easily be attached to any coriventional type outboard motor.
It is my further object to provide a ratchet means between the starter and the motor, whereby, during the starting operation the same are engaged, and means whereby during the operation of the motor, centrifugal force acts to disengage the motor from the starter, and a re-engagement is prohibited until the motor comes to rest.
A still further object of my invention is to provide an improved starting cord handle, a methody of attaching same, and an efcient anchoring member for attaching the starting cord lto the cord pulley to which the cord is easily applicable to facilitate replacement.
In the drawing:

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a side view of a cup-shaped engagement plate.
Fig. 6 is an end view of the handle with cover removed.
Fig. 7 is a fragmentary cross section of an anchoring member by means of which the inner end of the cord is anchored.
Fig. 8 is a cross section of the cord.
Like parts are designated by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
Fig. 2 shows the upper portion of a conventional outboard motor with ily wheel I3, drive shaft I4, and frame or housing I5 to which my starter cross section the device is fastened by means of screws I6. The exterior of the device consists of a lower annular casing I1 and an-upper casing I8 which is rotatively mounted to casing I1, an integral annular rib I9 of casing I8 beingl recessed in an annular groove 20 of casing I1 and secured therein by an annular band 22 which is secured to casing'l1 by screws 23. A ball detent25 is recessed in socket 24 of casing `I8 and is held in pressure engagement midway between the casings I1 and I8 by spring 26, under confinement in bore 21. Rotative movement between the casings I1 and I8 is ordinarily prohibited by detent 25, but under conditions of undue stress between the members, as for example in a case of backi-ring of the motor, detent 25 will bedepressed into bore 21 and casing I8 Will be free torotate to save the parts from injury.
Within the casing is a rotatively mounted driving unit 33' provided with a rewinding spring, and a driven unit 62'. 'Ihe driving unit 33' is provided with a pulley to accommodate a starting cord I2 and a depending cup-shaped element 38 with peripheral teeth and adjacent peripheral channels. Driven unit 62 is secured to and rotatable with the motor crank shaft and carries oscillatable pawls for engagement with the ratchet teeth of unit 33.
Construction of the unit is as follows.
'Unit 33 is rotatably mounted from casing I8 on shouldered stud 34 and is comprised of a hub 33, to which is riveted a circular plate 39, and a depending cup-shaped plate 38 with notched periphery. Plate 39 is provided with an integral annular rib 39', to which is secured annular plate 46 to provide the pulley. Plates 39 and 4U are preferably marginally divergent to guide the starting cord I2 into the pulley groove.
When the motor is at rest the pawls assume the position shown in Fig, 4 with their long arms resting against nut 64, due to the springs 15, which are interposed between pins 13 and 61 biasing the pawls to rotate them in a clockwise direction as viewed in Fig. 4. The short arms of pawls 'I2 extend into the peripheral notches of element 38, thus providing an engagement between the starter mechanism and the motor during the clockwise rotation of the starting unit 33 as viewed in Figs. 3 and 4.
Cord I2 is comprised of a stranded bronze core 51, Fig. 8, and a braided cotton cover 56, and is anchored by means of anchoring member 5I to plate 39, said member being hooked to plate 39 through an opening therein near the inner wall of the pulley groove. Member 5I is provided with a bore, 53, a smaller bore, 54, and a notch, 52. The braided covering, 56, is cut away to expose a portion of the stranded bronze core, 51, which is drawn through bore 54 and soldered in said notch. The shank of the member is flattened to provide pressure contact between the cord covering the bore 53.
The free end of cord I2 passes through a substantially tangential opening I9', Fig. l, in casing I8 and is provided with a handle I i, the shaft of which is provided with a center bore leading to a recess 42, in an integral grip, where said cord terminus is disposed in a'flgure eight position and securely held in placer by plate I0, fastened by screws I0', said screws extending through the inner loops of the figure eight to prevent slippage of the cord.
The operationof the device is as follows:
An outward pull of handle II unwinds cord I2, winds up recoil spring 30, and rotates central unit 33' in a clockwise or engine starting direction as viewed in Fig. 1. Teeth 3 during this operation are engaged with pawls 12, hence a like rotation is imparted to the motor through unit G2', and the motor is started in this manner. With the starting of the motor, the short arms of pawls 12 will trail over teeth 9 until centrifugal forcer due to motor rotation becomes greater than the tension exerted on the pawls by springs 15, at which point the pawls are oscillated outwardly about pins 13 to contact lugs 8 I, in which position they rest until the motor is stopped, or the speed thereof becomes retarded to a point at which the said spring tension overcomes the outward thrust of centrifugal force and moves the pawls toward positions for re-engagement with teeth 9.
When the cord handle is released, spring 30 unwinds, with resultant rotation of central unit 33 in a counter-clockwise direction, Fig. 4, thereby winding up the cord until handle Il is disposed in the casing opening I9'. A shank of handle II isprovided with a terminus 64' of .substantially frusto-conical shape, said terminus being Somewhat elliptical rather than circular in cross-section, as viewed in Fig. 8, socket I9 of casing I8 being complementary thereto whereby to hold handley II non-rotatably in a positionto facilitate its grasp by the operator.
