Recoil starter for backpack type power working machine
A recoil starter for a backpack type power working machine, which is capable of easily performing the starting operation of an internal combustion engine with the working machine being carried on the operator's back. In this recoil starter, the recoil rope and the recoil handle are disposed so as to be pulled down obliquely forward at an angle of 100° to 150° to the horizontal plane. The recoil handle is formed into a T-shaped configuration in side view, which comprises the grip portion and a laterally extended stopper portion which is formed on a distal end of the grip portion.
1. A recoil starter for starting an internal combustion engine to be mounted on a backpack type power working machine, comprising a recoil rope;
a recoil handle attached to one end portion of the recoil rope adapted to be pulled downward from a main body of the recoil starter;
a rope outlet port extending obliquely forward from a lower portion of the recoil starter thereby directing the rope outlet port toward an operator's back side;
wherein the recoil handle includes a grip portion;
wherein the recoil rope and the recoil handle are disposed so as to be pulled down obliquely forward at an angle of 100° to 150° to a horizontal plane;
wherein the recoil handle has a T-shaped configuration, comprising the grip portion and a laterally extended stopper portion at a distal end, as viewed in the pull-out direction, of the grip portion;
wherein a driving power source portion including the internal combustion engine of the backpack type power working machine is rotatably supported on a backpack frame so as to enable the driving power source portion to rotate about a vertical line; wherein the main body of the starter is disposed on the right or left side of the driving power source portion; and working means is disposed on the other side of the driving power source portion.
2. The recoil starter according to claim 1 , wherein the recoil starter is secured adjustably in position to the driving power source portion.
