ABSTRACT:
A shift lever mechanism for engine starting apparatus. The mechanism includes a pivotally mounted lever for translating axial movement of the plunger of a starter solenoid into axial movement of a pinion that is adapted to mesh with the ring gear of an engine. The part of the shift lever that is moved by the solenoid plunger has two opposed actuating surfaces that are located at different radial distances from the pivot point of the shift lever. These actuating surfaces are engaged by corresponding surfaces provided on a part movable with the plunger. When the plunger is pulled-in corresponding surfaces separate by an amount sufficient to permit a solenoid switch to open when the solenoid coil is deenergized and the plunger moved to a position to cause reengagement of the separated surfaces.
