ABSTRACT:
A heat shield for shielding the solenoid of an engine starter from heat generated by an internal combustion engine. The shield is formed of metal and has a front pair of deflectable spring arms and a rear pair of deflectable spring arms for securing the heat shield to a solenoid of an engine starter. The arms have arcuate portions that are adapted to engage the case of the solenoid and the arms are deflected apart when the shield is assembled to the solenoid. The arms then spring back toward each other to tightly grip the solenoid. The front pair of deflectable spring arms are equipped with ribs extending from the arcuate portions and bending around one end of the solenoid to prevent axial movement of the heat shield relative to the solenoid. The heat shield has a collar to engage another end of the solenoid and prevent axial movement of the heat shield relative to the solenoid. The heat shield has a spring finger that prevents the shield from moving beyond a proper assembled position.
