ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to a flywheel for use with an automotive engine or the like. The flywheel of the present invention is basically a one-piece structure comprised of a disc portion and an integrally formed ring portion having gear teeth on its outer circumference. These gear teeth engage the pinion gear on the engine's starting motor and have appropriately positioned reinforcement thereon. This new construction does away with the need for attaching a ring gear to a separate stamped metal disc to form the flywheel, and also offers several manufacturing, performance, weight, and cost advantages.
