Abstract
A device for monitoring belt tension includes two supporting elements for supporting a belt, a deflecting element between the supporting elements, at least one elastic element and a switch. A sufficiently high tension for a belt that is supported on the supporting elements and guided past the deflecting element may be displayed if the deflecting element has been moved in a predefined way against a restoring force of the elastic element, thereby actuating the switch.
