Abstract
A tensioning device for materials of tape form particularly adapted for metic printers and comprises a floating element situated between free sections of a paper tape installed in return fashion in a driving mechanism. The floating element is provided with displacement transmission elements formed by spiked belts of which the spikes are engaged in perforations in the tape. The tensioning of the tape is provided by a weight hooked to the floating element such that the tape section emerging from the driving mechanism is driven, via the floating element, by the tape section which enters the driving mechanism.
