Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a kick lever for starting an engine with improved wear resistance.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For small engines such as motorcycles, a kick lever is attached to the front end of the engine's kick shaft, and the kick lever is stepped on with the foot to rotate the kick shaft, ranking the engine crankshaft and So that it can be started.

Generally, as shown in FIG. 3, the kick lever A is configured such that a shaft hole E at a base end of the kick lever A is rotated by a predetermined angle on a support shaft D of a shaft fitting C fixed to a tip of a kick shaft B. It is pivoted as much as possible and can be folded inward when not in use. The kick lever A is made of a light alloy in order to reduce the weight, and the shaft hole E has an upper surface with a bottom so that mud or the like does not enter. In order to make the shaft hole E bottomed, it is necessary to stop the drill at a predetermined position for cutting, and it takes time to take out cutting chips and the workability is poor.

Therefore, there is a kick lever in which a base hole of a kick lever is formed as a through hole to improve workability of the shaft hole, and a cap is press-fitted into the upper end of the shaft hole. See, for example, JP-A-59-201968.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since the kick lever is made of a light alloy to reduce the weight, the material is soft, and there is a disadvantage that the fitting portion of the shaft hole and the support shaft is gouged and worn to cause looseness.

In view of such a point, the present invention has a shaft hole at the base end of a kick lever as a through hole, and an iron-based bowl-shaped cap is press-fitted at the upper end, and the tip of a spindle of a shaft fitting is attached to the inner circumference of the cap. The purpose of the invention is to obtain a kick lever for engine starting that is fitted to the to improve wear resistance and has good workability.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the kick lever for starting the engine of the present invention has a shaft hole, which is provided at the base end of the kick lever, which is provided at the base end of the kick lever in a predetermined manner on a support shaft of a shaft fitting attached to the tip of the kick shaft. It is mounted so that it can be rotated at an angle. An iron bowl cap is press-fitted into the upper end of the kick lever shaft hole, and the tip of the shaft of the shaft fitting is fitted to the inner circumference of the cap.

[0008]

[Action]

 The kick lever is rotated outward to take it out, and the tip of the kick lever is stepped on with a foot to rotate the kick shaft, thereby cranking and cranking the crankshaft of the engine. Since the shaft hole at the base end of the kick lever is a through hole, it can be easily cut. Further, since the tip end portion of the support shaft of the shaft fitting is fitted to the inner circumference of the iron-based cap press-fitted into the upper end of the shaft hole, the cap is iron-based and is resistant to wear, and wear resistance can be improved.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The kick lever 1 is made of a light alloy by casting or the like, and has a shaft hole 2 vertically penetrated at the base end. The upper part of the shaft hole 2 is stepped and has a large diameter, and a ferrous bowl-shaped cap 3 is press-fitted therein. A shaft fitting 5 is fastened to the tip of the kick shaft 4 of the engine. The shaft fitting 5 is made of steel and has a support shaft 6 provided thereon. The shaft hole 2 of the kick lever 1 is inserted into the support shaft 6, and the tip portion of the support shaft 6 is fitted to the inner circumference of the cap 3. A pin 7 passed through a lateral hole of the kick lever 1 is fitted in a circumferential groove 8 of the support shaft 6 to prevent the kick lever 1 from coming off the support shaft 6. The kick lever 1 can be rotated around the support shaft 6 by a predetermined angle so that it can be folded and pulled out. Then, the ball 10 inserted into the lateral hole 9 of the support shaft 6 is fitted into the groove 11 of the kick lever so as to maintain moderation. An oil seal 12 is fitted into the lower end of the shaft hole 2 to prevent the applied grease from leaking.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this case, an iron-based bowl-shaped cap 3 is press-fitted into the upper end of the shaft hole 2 provided through the base of the kick lever 1. A small diameter portion 13 is provided at the tip of the support shaft 6 of the shaft fitting 5 attached to the end of the kick shaft 4 so that the small diameter portion 13 can be fitted to the inner circumference of the cap 3. Others are the same as those shown in FIG.

The kick lever 1 is bent outward and the tip of the kick lever 1 is stepped down by a foot to rotate the kick shaft 4, crank the crankshaft of the engine, and start the engine. The shaft hole 2 of the kick lever 1 is a through hole, which facilitates cutting. And the cap 3 press-fitted into the upper end of the shaft hole 2 can prevent the intrusion of mud. Further, since the inner circumference of the iron-based cap 3 is fitted to the tip of the support shaft 6 of the shaft fitting 5, it is resistant to wear and wear resistance can be improved.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, since the present invention is configured as described above, the shaft hole 2 at the base end of the kick lever 1 can be used as a through hole to improve the machinability of the cutting work, and press fit into the upper end of the shaft hole 2. The cap 3 can prevent the invasion of mud. Further, by making the cap an iron-based material and fitting the inner circumference to the tip of the support shaft 6 of the shaft fitting 5, it is resistant to wear and wear resistance can be improved.
