Abstract
The invention relates to a starter device () for starting internal combustion engines, comprising an electromagnetic toe-in mechanism which is used to displace an axially displaceable pinion shaft (), starter pinions () which are arranged in the front thereof, in addition to a start-stop mechanism which is embodied in such a manner that in a stop phase of the internal combustion engine, even when the internal combustion engine is stopped, said start-stop mechanism provokes a positioned state of the toe-in mechanism, such that during a subsequent starting of the internal combustion engine, the starter pinion () is already arranged in an advanced position, enabling power loss to be reduced. This is achieved by a maintaining mechanism () which maintains the electromagnetic toe-in mechanism in the advanced position and in a currentless manner during and/or after the stop phase.
