Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK E. WATTS, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO HUPP MOTOR GAR CORPORA- TION, OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, A CORPORATION OF ,VIRGINIA.
ENGINE-STARTER Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed December 14, 1917. Serial No. 207,026.
.the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to engine starters and has particular reference to the construction by means of which the starting motor may be conveniently mounted in relation to the engine casing. To this end the invention comprisesthe novel construction as hereinafter set forth.
7 In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a portion of the engine casing including the housing for the transmission gearing;
Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof.
In the construction of power units for motor vehicles it is usual to mount the starter on some portion of the engine cas ing so as to maintain the same in fixed relation to the mechanism which is driven in starting. \Vhere the driven member is on the fly-wheel, which is usually associated with the clutch and transmission mechanism, the starting motor must 'be mounted in relation to these parts. lVith the present construction I have devised a simple mounting and one in which the starting motor is accessibly positioned, by forming a flange on the housing for the transmission and flywheel and bolting the motor thereto. This has the advantage that the face of the flange on which the motor is mounted may be conveniently machined at the same time that the housing is set for the performance of other machining operations thereon.
In detail, A is the engine housing and B is the housing for the transmission gearing which is secured to the housing A by the flange G. aperturcd at D for clampingbolts.
The housiig B. is fashioned to receive the fly-wheel ,which as shown is provided with a peripheral gear F for engaging the pinion G of the starting motor H. The
mounting for this motor is formed by an ei'ctension I at one point in the flange U, which forms a bearing for the end flange J of the starting motor case, said'flange being apertured to register with apertures in the flange I and secured thereto by bolts Whexr the housing B is thus secured the driving shaft of the starting motor will extend parallel to the axis of the main crankshaft and adjacent to the gear F, so that the pinion Gr may be moved into or out of mesh with-the gear by sliding longitudinally on said shaft. The shaft and pinion will be housed in a portion of the housing B for the transmission gearing.
The construction being as described, the starting motor may be mounted or disengaged by the simple operation of securing or loosening the bolts K, and when mounted it is securely fastened in fixed relation to the fly-wheel and gear-wheel F.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. In an engine, the combination with the engine casing and an adjacent casing for housing a fly-wheel and transmission gearing, of a flange 0n the latter casing for securing the same to the engine casing, and a starting motor mounted on an extension of said flange.
- 2. The combination with an engine casing and an adjacent casing for housing the flywheel and transmission gearing, of a flange on the latter casing for securing the same to the engine casing provided with an extension at one point, a starting motor having a flanged end mounted on the extended flange of said housing, and means for securing said starting motor to'said flange.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
FRANK E. WATTS.
