Abstract (en)
An apparatus for transferring rotation from an armature shaft (12) of the starter motor of a vehicle to an output shaft (16) is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a pinion (20) mounted on the armature shaft (12), a relatively stationary ring gear (22), a plurality of planet shafts (24,26,28,30), and a plurality of planetary gear sets (32,34,36,38). Each of the planet shafts is connected to the output shaft (16) and is orbitable about the armature shaft (12). Each planetary gear set includes two planet gears (44,46) mounted on an associated planet shaft (28). One (44) of the planet gears engages the pinion (20) so that the rotation of the pinion (20) is transferred to the first planet gear (44). The other planet gear (46) is rotatable with the first planet gear (44), and engages the ring gear (22) so that the associated planet shaft (28) orbits the armature shaft (12) and imparts rotation to the output shaft (16) sufficient to crank the engine. <IMAGE>
