Starting and charging apparatus
First Claim
1. A starting and generating apparatus comprising:
- a battery electrically connected to a vehicular electric load;
a vehicular generator driven by an engine for charging the battery;
a starter dynamo having a pinion engageable with a ring gear of the engine and an armature for rotating the pinion, the armature being constructed to rotate the pinion for an engine starting and to be rotated after engine starting by a rotation of the ring gear transmitted through the pinion for generating an electric power; and
electric storage means for supplying an electric power to the starter dynamo to drive the engine and for being charged by the starter dynamo after the engine starting.

Abstract
A starter dynamo having a pinion engageable with a ring gear and an armature for rotating the pinion is supplied at engine starting with an electric storage power from an electric double layered capacitor used exclusively for the starter dynamo. With this storage power, the armature rotates and, with this armature rotation, the pinion rotates. An engine ring gear is driven through the pinion to start the engine. After the engine starting, the ring gear rotation is transmitted to the armature through the pinion and the starter dynamo charges the electric double-layered capacitor. Thus, an electric storage power required for the next engine starting is charged in a short period of time.
