Clutched Starter Motor Assembly For Aircraft Piston
US Patent:
2004020, Oct 21, 2004
Filed:
Apr 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/418913
Inventors:
Eugene Chiappe - Granbury TX, US
Leven Staples - Granbury TX, US

International Classification:
H02K007/10
US Classification:
310/078000
Abstract:
A Starter Motor Assembly for a piston aircraft engine is constructed by placing a clutch mechanism between the armature of a DC motor and a gear-reduction assembly. The output of said gear-reduction assembly is an output shaft that engages with the starter adapter of the engine. Such construction provides low resistance to rotation of the output shaft by the engine's starter adapter to reduce potential wear and allows the use of a smaller and lighter motor than would be possible without the gear-reduction. In addition, the choice of a centrifugal clutch in the preferred embodiment prevents the motor from being damaged by overheating in a stalled (non rotation) condition as the clutch disengages below a chosen motor rotation speed.
Starter For Aircraft Piston Engines
US Patent:
2004008, May 6, 2004
Filed:
Nov 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/287021
Inventors:

Leven Staples - Granbury TX, US
International Classification:
H02P009/04, F02N011/00
US Classification:
290/03800R
Abstract:
A starter for a piston aircraft engine is constructed by placing the pinion-gear and drive clutch, the engagement solenoid and the driving motor in a linear arrangement, the motor driving the clutch via a geared shaft passing by the engagement solenoid. Such construction provides minimum diameter for a solenoid-engaged piston aircraft engine starter in order to fit the available space on existing aircraft originally designed to be equipped with centrifugally-engaged starters.
