A starter pinion shifting arrangement comprises a solenoid switch 32 having a hook 33 which can be pulled by an electromagnetically actuated plunger 10 through a compression spring 17, and a shift lever 5 connected between the hook and a pinion movement until 3 slidably mounted on a support shaft and including a pinion 21 engageable with a driven gear. A clearance 34 is provided through which the hook can be pulled by the plunger, when the hook is in the stopped position in which the pinion is in a stop-abutting position when the engagement with the driven gear. An elastic member 26, which is flexed through said shift lever by the compression force of the compression spring when the pinion movement unit is in the stop-abutting position with the driven gear, may be disposed between the shift lever and the pinion movement unit. The compression spring may comprise two parallel-mounted springs, of which both act to urge the pinion towards the driven gear when the pinion is in abutment with the driven gear, and only one acts when the pinion is in the stop-abutting position in which the pinion is in engagement with the driven gear. |
