<p>@ A starting device for gasoline engines which may be started by spinning the crankshafts (8) thereof, and comprising a torque transmission device (20) consisting of a male friction cone (22) adapted to be fixed in and turned axially by an ordinary electric drill device, and a matching conical female cup (24) adapted to be affixed concentrically to an engine crankshaft (8) and to receive the male cone (22) therein so that rotation of the latter rotates the former to start the engine. A novel connection of the cone to the electric drill permits misalignment of the drill axis with the crankshaft (8), and damps the application of rotary force to the cup (12) to void shocks to the system.</p> |
