TH65479A - Linear tension factor - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (11/10/45) This invention consists of a tensioner with a pulley as part of its axis and housing. This housing is further comprised of a guide. The guide is attached to a sliding rod on the base. The guide and the rod restrain the housing to move along a predetermined linear path. The rods are perpendicular to the horizontal from the two axes defined by the pulley. The pulley load remains perpendicular to the vertical from the axis of movement of the guide. The guide and rod have predetermined coefficients of friction; thus, the cumulative effect is an asymmetrical damping effect. Next, a coupling is connected between the housing and the cam body. This cam body is rotatably connected to the base. A gravity element, such as a torsion spring, gravity the cam body against the belt load through the coupling. The radius of the cam body is variable to maintain a constant belt load as the tensioner pulley moves in accordance with changes in load. This invention comprises a tensioner with a pulley as part of its axis and housing. The housing is further comprised of a guide. The guide is attached to a sliding rod on the base. The guide and the rod restrain the housing, allowing it to move along a predetermined linear path. The rods are perpendicular to the horizontal axes defined by the pulley. The pulley load remains perpendicular to the vertical axis of movement of the guide. The guide and rod have predetermined coefficients of friction; therefore, the cumulative effect is asymmetrical damping. A coupling is then connected between the housing and the cam body. This cam body is rotatably connected to the base. A gravity element, such as a torsion spring, gravity the cam body on the belt load side through the coupling. The radius of the cam body is variable to maintain a constant belt load as the tensioner pulley moves in accordance with changes in load.
