Starter for an engine having a pinion moving member

摘要

A starter which reduces the number of parts for a pinion rotation regulation and provides an accurate magnet switch operation. A concave portion is formed on the bottom side of a plunger to store a spherical body set on the rear end of a cord-shaped member, e.g., wire. A male screw is formed on the inner wall of the concave portion, and a fixing screw that fixes the spherical body is screwed into this male screw so that the length of the cord-shaped member is adjusted. The length of the string-shaped member is adjusted so that when a plunger shaft moves upward and a lower movable contact contacts a terminal bolt, the claw of the pinion rotation regulating member fits into the notch on the outer circumference of a pinion gear. Furthermore, the claw is is fit into the notch via the wire when the plunger moves.
