Abstract

724,522. Belt, rope and chain gearing. RENOLD CHAINS, Ltd., [formerly RENOLD & COVENTRY CHAIN CO.]. Dec. 4, 1952 [Dec. 28, 1951], No. 30337/51. Class 80 (1). A tensioning device com prises rollers 2 bearing agains a chain and carried on the end of a plunger 10 in a bore of a fixed housing 12. The plunger 10 is passed outwardly by a spring 20, the other end o which bears against a cylinder 18 sliding within a bore of the plunger. A helical groove 24 is formed on the surface of the cylinder 18 the upper wall 26 of which is plain whilst the lower wall 28 is serrated. A radially disposed pin 30 on the plunger 10 engages in the groove 24 whereby free move ment outwards of the plunge 10 under the spring pressure is allowed owing to the pin 3( running along the plain wall 26 of the groove 24 and rotating the cylinder 18 whilst inward movement of the plunger is pre vented by the pin 30 engaging in the serrations of the lower wall 28. In order to draw the plunger back into its housing 12 when required, for replacing a chain, for example, the cylinder 18 can be rotated by means of a key inserted through the bottom of housing 12, the pin 30 running out of the groove 24 and engaging behind the end face of the cylinder 18 to hold the spring 20 in compression. The action of the spring 20 can be assisted by oil fed through a spigot 35 which can also pass through a passage 36 to the bearings of the rollers 2. The rollers 2 may be replaced by a single wide roller for a belt, a toothed wheel for a chain or a grooved pulley for a rope or a pad for bearing against a chain may be provided. The cylinder 18 may surround the plunger 10 instead of working inside it and the pin 30 may be provided on the cylinder 18 and the groove 24 in the plunger 10. Both surfaces of the groove 24 may be smooth and the respective surfaces of the engaging pin may have different coefficients of friction, for example one surface might be of rubber. To allow some return movement of the plunger 10 to compensate for temperature expansion and unevenness of the chain the groove 24 may be of greater width and separate pins or projections can be provided for engaging the opposite walls. Specification 724,523 is referred to.
