Abstract

A device for applying tension to an endless chain, belt or the like comprises a ratcheted plunger having a substantially planar face disposed in substantially perpendicular relationship to the axis of movement of the plunger, and a chain or belt-engaging lever having a pad with a convex face arranged to contact the substantially planar face of the plunger. Vibrational forces exerted by the lever on the tensioner are substantially parallel to the axis of movement of the plunger, so that wear of the plunger and plunger guide are significantly reduced.
