Abstract
An engine stopping device for stopping an internal combustion engine provided with an ignition system energized by a generator driven by the engine. The stopping device comprises a switch for making ineffective at least one of the elements of the ignition system, an actuator for actuating the switch into the operated state and a retaining device for retaining the switch in the operated state until the engine is brought to a standstill. Although it takes time for the engine to be brought to a standstill, the operator just has to give the actuator one touch operation, such as pressing a button, and may release the actuator before the standstill. Subsequent starting of the engine requires no extra operation.
