Seal for a starter motor drive

摘要

An improved drive arrangement for a starter motor includes a rubber cushion 26 between a drive plate 28 and a pinion 22. The rubber cushion 26 has seals at inner and outer locations, which seal against the drive plate 28. In this way, the area between the drive plate and the rubber cushion is sealed to prevent contaminants from reaching the area and harming the connection between the drive plate and cushion.
