Abstract
A tensioning device in particular for bracing string sections of a string includes a traction element, which extends between an abutment and an adapter on the rear end of the string. A linear tensioning device is arranged in parallel relationship to the string for applying the tension force. A sliding brake engages the traction element in a self-locking manner in sole response to a tensile load applied by the linear tensioning drive to thereby allow the tensioning device to move on its own in a direction on the traction element.
