Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a drive belt tensioning system that comprises drive assembly detachably attached with mounting bracket. The drive assembly comprises assembly plate, driving mechanism rigidly affixed to the assembly plate, and driving pulley shaft protruding through assembly plate. First axis of rotation of the driving mechanism perpendicular to the assembly plate defines center of rotation of the drive assembly. The driving pulley shaft is positioned at first radial distance from the center of rotation of the drive assembly. The mounting bracket defines shaft aperture sized to receive the driving mechanism and radial driving pulley slot that extending circumferentially around a portion of the shaft aperture and sized to receive the driving pulley shaft. An application of torque causes arcuate motion of the driving pulley shaft in the radial driving pulley slot such that distance between the driven pulley and the driving pulley is altered.
