Abstract
A tensioner lever for an engine timing chain comprises a synthetic resin lever body including a shoe having a chain-contacting sliding surface, and a spring-receiving portion on the back of a shoe. A laminated sheet spring is fitted into a slot formed in the spring-receiving portion along the longitudinal direction of the lever. The synthetic resin lever body is pivoted on a pivot shaft mounted on an engine, and an end of the laminated sheet spring is locked into a groove in the pivot shaft so that the spring can be stressed and thereby exert a tensioning force on the chain through the tensioner lever.
