By being provided for stoping hitch roll 4 to turn back to the anti-blocking device that returns of mounting construction C1 with respect to plate 3 from effect structure C2, the invention enables and can solve this defect.According to the present invention, these are anti-returns to blocking device and

locking device

6 and 36 is discrete, and make in effect structure C2, to avoid hitch roll 4 around any rotation of pivot axis X6, particularly in the situation that locking

device

6 and 36 is unlocked when tension device 2 uses.

Roller support 9 is also provided with projection 98, and it extends back outstanding along the direction that is totally parallel to axle X4 and X6 towards plate 3 from surface 94.Preferably, projection 98 is integrated with roller support 9, and for example the two is by the molded single-piece that forms, and then the profile of projection 98 is defined in roller support 9 by machining.Alternatively, projection 98 can be to be attached to the discrete parts (for example inserting in the dedicated openings of roller support 9) on roller support 9.And projection 98 can have and is anyly suitable for shape of the present invention, and does not exceed scope of the present invention.In the example of Fig. 1 to 3, projection 98 has planar side, and it extends perpendicular to surface 94, and connects by 98a after plane, and 98a is parallel to surface 94 and extends after plane.

When tension device 2 is assembled, projection 98 is accommodated in the peripheral recess 37 on the outward edge of the supporting part 33 that is formed on exclusively plate 3.More specifically, recess 37 is formed in the part 33 at surperficial 331 places, on the radially relative edge of the axis X 36 of the front side with plate 3.Preferably, recess 37 is formed at the most on 1/4th of girth on the surface 331 of part 33.

In the example of Fig. 3, recess 37 comprises inclined-plane 37a, the front side of its slave plate 3 orientation, and tilting along chamber 37 so that the gap between inclined-plane 37a and surface 94 along with the end 32 of slave plate 3 away from and reduce.Recess 37 has parallelepiped section along comprising in the axial cross section of planar interception of axis X 6, and described section develops along plane of inclination 37a.Recess 37 is being for circular sector (circular sector), unless when cutting planes and plane of inclination 37a are when crossing about axis X 6 in cross section radially.

When tension device 2 is in effect structure C2, projection 98 is accommodated in chamber 38, and wherein their faces respect to one another abut each other, as shown in Figure 3.Thereby the machinery by described chamber 38 and projection 98 coordinates, hitch roll 4 is stoped automatically around any rotation of the pivot axis X6 being limited by screw 6 and chamber 93.In other words, chamber 38 and projection 98 form hitch roll 4 about the anti-blocking device that returns of plate 3.Chamber 38 formations belong to the protruding anti-of plate 3 and return to element, and projection forms the recessed anti-element that returns that belongs to hitch roll 4.Chamber 38 and projection 98 axially form with respect to axis X 6.

In this stage, it should be noted, in order to be converted to effect structure C2 from mounting construction C1 when

locking device

6 and 36 is unlocked, the operator X6 that hitch roll 4 and plate 3 must be paralleled to the axis divides out.Otherwise projection 98 abuts the inclined-plane 37a of recess 37, and can no longer stretch in chamber 38.If separated with plate 3, hitch roll 4 can be around axis X 6 pivotables, and projection 98 can low location relative to chamber 38.After making the more close plate 3 of hitch roll 4, in acting on structure C2, the

anti-blocking device

38 and 98 that returns stops hitch rolls 4 to turn back to mounting construction C1 automatically, and no matter

locking device

6 and 36 locks or releases, and needn't force operator that its instrument is remained in hole 97.Thereby operator is more practical and more do not handle tension device 2 not tiredly.

Finally, for tension device 2 being locked in effect structure C2, operator uses fastened tools (for example screw-driver) that appointment moment of torsion is applied on screw head 61.

Anti-return blocking device

38 and 98 therefore with

locking device

6 and 36 complementations, improve thus tension device 2 performance in time.
