Abstract
A belt tensioning apparatus for tensioning a belt that extends between a driving shaft and driven shaft which are immovably supported with respect to one another. There is a flat spring, the free end of which bears against one run of the belt at a point between the two shafts. The opposite end of the spring is rigidly fixed so as to orient the spring within the plane of the belt such that the spring elastically deflects the belt run into a taut condition. A second leaf spring supported for cooperation with another belt run. Plural flat springs backing up the first mentioned springs for increasing the force applied thereby to the belt runs.
