MOTOR VEHICLE STARTER WITH IMPROVED DRIVE ASSEMBLY

摘要

The invention relates to a motor vehicle starter with a drive assembly comprising a pinion (1), a selector (2) and an engaging device with a conical clutch, for connecting the pinion to the selector (2), whereby the conical clutch has a first conical friction surface (8), fixed to the pinion and a second conical friction surface (8'), complementary in form to the first surface (8), fixed to the selector. The engaging device comprises an engaging piece in the form of a recess which has a base elongated by an annular sleeve extending axially towards one of the pinion/selector elements and elastic means (10) with an axial action pressing on a first stop, fixed to the engaging device, in order to engage with a second stop, fixed to one of the pinion/selector elements. The sleeve is fixed to the pinion or the selector and the relevant surfaces (8,8') are on the interior thereof.
