The protrusion 363 of the chain link 362 is pressed into the groove 35 of the push member 350, so that the push member 350 is fixed to the chain 360. If it is necessary to add the push member 350, the additional push member 350 can be simply installed by pressing the chain link 362.
상기 장력조절수단(320)은 상기 체인(360)에 장력을 부여하기 위하여 마련된 것이다. 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 실시예에서, 체인(360)의 일측은 스프라켓(310)과 맞물려 있고, 체인(360)의 타측에 장력조절수단(320)이 마련된다. 장ㄹ력조절수단(320)은 스프라켓(310)으로부터 일정거리 이격되어 바디(141)에 대해 고정된 상태로 설치된다. 본 실시예에서, 장력조절수단(320)은 전체적으로 반원의 형상을 가진다. 장력조절수단(320)은 원호형상의 가이드부(321)와, 절개부(322)를 포함한다. 상기 가이드부(321)는 체인(360)의 원활한 회전이동을 돕는 역할을 한다. 본 실시예에서, 상기 장력조절수단(320)은 고무와 같은 탄성재질로 제작된다. 체인(360)의 장착 및 분리 시에는 작업자가 가이드부(321)의 외주면을 눌러 압력을 가함으로써, 절개부(322)의 빈 공간을 압축시킨다. 이에 따라, 가이드부(321)의 외주면이 절개부(322)를 향하여 내측으로 이동하게 됨으로써, 체인(360)에 가해지는 장력이 해제될 수 있다. 따라서, 작업자는 체인(360)을 용이하게 바디(141)에 설치하거나 바디(141)로부터 분리시킬 수 있다. 한편, 가이드부(321)의 외주면이 눌러지지 않은 일반적인 상태에서는, 가이드부(321)는 외주를 향하는 방향으로 탄성력을 제공한다. 이에 따라, 체인(360)에 장력을 부여하게 된다. 그러므로, 체인(360)은 바디(141)로부터 이탈되지 않고 안정적으로 회전이동할 수 있다.The tension adjusting means 320 is provided to impart tension to the chain 360. As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, one side of the chain 360 is engaged with the sprocket 310, and the tension adjusting means 320 is provided on the other side of the chain 360. The tension adjusting means 320 is spaced a certain distance from the sprocket 310 is installed in a fixed state with respect to the body 141. In this embodiment, the tension adjusting means 320 has a semi-circular shape as a whole. The tension adjusting means 320 includes an arc-shaped guide part 321 and the cutout 322. The guide part 321 serves to help smooth rotational movement of the chain 360. In this embodiment, the tension control means 320 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. When mounting and detaching the chain 360, the operator presses the outer circumferential surface of the guide part 321 to apply pressure, thereby compressing the empty space of the cutout 322. Accordingly, the outer circumferential surface of the guide part 321 is moved inward toward the cutout 322, so that the tension applied to the chain 360 can be released. Thus, the worker can easily install the chain 360 to the body 141 or separate from the body 141. On the other hand, in a general state in which the outer circumferential surface of the guide portion 321 is not pressed, the guide portion 321 provides an elastic force in the direction toward the outer circumference. Accordingly, tension is applied to the chain 360. Therefore, the chain 360 can stably rotate without departing from the body 141.
