Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a cover structure in a power transmission device comprising a casing having an open side, a driver shaft rotatably supported by the casing, a driven shaft rotatably supported by the casing and drivable by the driver shaft, a power transmission mechanism housed in the casing for transmitting rotative power from the driver shaft to the driven shaft, a starter mechanism housed in the casing and engageable with the driver shaft for starting an engine, and cover means covering the open side of the casing. The cover means comprises a plurality of cover members, a cover member which supports the starter mechanism being securely coupled to the casing, the remaining cover member or members being coupled to the casing through a resilient member or members.
