Title:
STARTER HAVING A DRIVE MECHANISM PROVIDED WITH AN INTERMEDIATE ELEMENT FOR REDUCING FRICTION BETWEEN A CONTROL LEVER AND A DRIVER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/167254
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention mainly relates to a starter (30) having a drive mechanism for a heat engine of a motor vehicle comprising: a drive pinion (32) for meshing with a starter ring gear (35) of a heat engine, a driver (81) mounted on a drive shaft (33), a friction clutch (82) inserted between the driver (81) and the drive pinion (32) including a reaction element (91) rotatably secured to the drive pinion (32) and a pressure element (92) rotatably secured to the driver (81) which is mobile relative to the reaction element (91), and a control lever (65) comprising a portion, referred to as a thrust portion (174), capable of pushing the driver (81) in order to switch the clutch (82) from an unlocked state in which the driver (81) and the drive pinion (32) are rotatably uncoupled relative to one another to a locked state in which the drive pinion (32) and the driver (81) are coupled with one another. According to the invention, an intermediate element (181, 181') is mounted between the thrust portion (174) of the control lever (65) and the driver (81), said intermediate element being such that at least one portion of said intermediate element that is in direct or indirect contact with the thrust portion (174) of the control lever rotates at least three times slower than the driver when the clutch (81) is in the locked state.
