Abstract
In a braking device for a drive belt, sector-shaped damping elements are mounted near the swivel bearing of the braking device, in an annular section turned away from the drive belt. This arrangement permits the drive belt to be positioned very close to the swivel axis and saves space, particularly in engine blocks having a number of accessory items and little free space. The spring-loaded mounting of the braking device can be achieved by an axially adjoining flat coil springs in the area of the swivel bearing or by a helical spring in an offset position with respect to the swivel axis.
