Abstract
A cranking device (10) for internal combustion engines, in which the mounting of a gear arrangement (15) with a free-wheel coupling (25), a power takeoff shaft (17) and a shifting pinion (26) as well as a starting relay (30) on a intermediate plate (21) is to be automated. It is proposed that the intermediate plate (21) and a bearing block (36) for the deflection lever (27) of the starting relay (30) form an assembly unit, on which on the one hand the gear arrangement (15) with the power takeoff shaft (17) and the shifting pinion (26) as well as the starting relay (30) can be pre-mounted, and in which on the other hand these parts can be joined together by the deflection lever (27) that is mounted in detent-lockable fashion on the bearing block (36).
