STARTER MOTOR WITH INTERMEDIATE GEAR

摘要

A starter motor with an intermediate gear includes a retaining member free from being deformed or damaged due to the centrifugal force induced by the high-speed revolution of the intermediate gear of a starter motor driven by the ring gear of an engine. The retaining member is used to prevent a movable coupling for coupling an overrunning clutch and the intermediate gear from axially slipping out. A flange-like retaining member 67b for preventing the movable coupling 68 from axially slipping out is integrally formed on the diametral outside of the end portion of the boss 67a of the intermediate gear 67.
