Abstract
The invention relates to a starting apparatus for an i.c. engine comprising a driving clutch member (21) journalled and axially movable on a shaft, a bushing or the like (22), and cooperating with a second driven clutch member (23) on the flywheel of the engine. The axial movement of the driving clutch member, effected by pulling a starting rope (15), is provided by screw surfaces (25), when exposed to a relative rotary movement on the shaft, the bushing or the like. This movement is caused by a Bendix spring (27) braking the rotation of said first clutch member as it is wound in the rotary direction of the engine and fixed to the body of the starting apparatus. The spring is pretensioned to provide an axial, resilient force actuating the driving clutch member to return to its initial position when disengaged from the driven clutch member.
