Abstract
A pull start assist device may include a frame with a base and a longitudinal member. The longitudinal member may include a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis displaced from the first pivot axis. The device may also include a pedal arm with a pedal on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled to the first pivot axis of the longitudinal member. A swing arm may be provided with a handle receiver on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled to the second pivot axis of the longitudinal member. A connection link maybe used to connect the swing arm and the pedal arm, whereby a pull start handle of a powered tool may be supported by the handle receiver and the pedal displaced by the foot of a user, actuating the swing arm and starting the powered tool.
Claims20
A pull start assist device, comprising:
- a frame including a base and a longitudinal member, the longitudinal member including a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis displaced from the first pivot axis;
- a pedal arm with a pedal on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled directly to the first pivot axis of the longitudinal member;
- a swing arm with a handle receiver on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled to the second pivot axis of the longitudinal member;
- and
- a connection link connecting the swing arm and the pedal arm, whereby movement of the pedal of the pedal arm of a set displacement causes a greater displacement of the handle receiver of the swing arm.
A pull start assist device, comprising:
- a frame including a base, the frame including a first pivot axis and a second pivot axis displaced from the first pivot axis;
- a pedal arm with a pedal on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled directly to the frame at the first pivot axis;
- a swing arm with a handle receiver on a first end and a second end pivotally coupled to the second pivot axis of the frame;
- and
- a connection link connecting the swing arm and the pedal arm, whereby a set displacement of the pedal of the pedal arm results in a greater displacement of the handle receiver of the swing arm.
