| 20100089354 | STARTER FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING AN ELECTRICALLY INSULATING INSULATING PART, INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING A STARTER, RETAINING FLANGE - A starter for an internal combustion engine, particularly for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, having a housing, on which a mounting flange is developed that can be associated with the internal combustion engine, at least one insulating part being associated with the mounting flange, such that no electrical connection exists between the starter and the internal combustion engine. An internal combustion engine, particularly for a motor vehicle, has a starter as described above. A retaining flange for an electric motor, particularly for a starter of a motor vehicle, the retaining flange being developed as an insulating part, and is made up at least partially of an electrically insulating material and/or has at least one electrically insulating insulating element situated on the retaining flange. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100213713 | STARTER DEVICE - A starter device for cranking internal combustion engines, that has a terminal for starter control, having an electric starter motor, there being an electric supply line from a plus terminal of the starter device to the plus terminal of the starter motor, and the starter motor having an electrical ground return line at a minus terminal of the starter device, in which the ground return line is interrupted by a switch in the case of an electrical potential-free terminal for the starter control. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20120086219 | CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION FOR STARTING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD OF A STARTER CONTROL - A circuit configuration is described, for starting an internal combustion engine, using at least one starter, which includes a starter motor, an engaging relay, a switching relay and a control relay, the control relay being able to be controlled by an ignition switch, the engaging relay being able to be controlled by the control relay and a current path of the starter motor being able to be switched using the switching relay. In order for the starter, for starting an internal combustion engine, to operate more accurately, and thus to achieve a longer service life, the switching relay is able to be controlled as a function of the occurrence of a specified event, at least in the switching-off process. This has the advantage that the switching relay is able to interrupt a current path from the starter motor earlier in time, especially a main current path, so that energizing in the reverse direction is avoided. Consequently, the switching relay is able to release the current path of the starter motor specified in such a way that in the switching-off process, during the disengaging of a starter pinion, pinion bounce is clearly reduced, or even eliminated. In the switching-off process of the starter, a motion of the starter pinion back in the direction towards the ring gear, after the disengagement, is avoided. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120173129 | Method for operating a starter controller, computer program product, and starter controller - In a method for operating a starter device having a starter motor for starting an internal combustion engine, the starter motor is switched on and off via a starter controller having a switching relay when the starter motor is acted on by electrical power from an electrical energy store. The starter motor is controlled by the starter controller in a power-regulated manner during the starting operation. | 07-05-2012 |
