Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tensioner comprising a base having a shaft, an adjusting member rotatably engaged within the shaft, a pivot arm pivotally engaged with a shaft exterior, a torsion spring engaged between the base and the pivot arm, a pulley journalled to the pivot arm, a pulley axis of rotation B-B that is laterally offset from a pivot arm pivot axis A-A, the adjusting member configured for rotation about a fastener having an axis C-C, the axis C-C is laterally offset from the axis A-A, and a rotary member rotationally engaged with the pivot arm, the rotary member in a first position allows rotation of the adjusting member about the fastener, and upon rotation of the rotary member to a second position the rotary member limits movement of the pivot arm in a predetermined range with respect to the adjusting member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A tensioner comprising: a base having a shaft; an adjusting member rotatably engaged within the shaft; a pivot arm pivotally engaged with a shaft exterior; a torsion spring engaged between the base and the pivot arm; a pulley journalled to the pivot arm, a pulley axis of rotation B-B that is laterally offset from a pivot arm pivot axis A-A; the adjusting member configured for rotation about a fastener having an axis C-C, the axis C-C is laterally offset from the axis A-A; and a rotary member rotationally engaged with the pivot arm, the rotary member in a first position allows rotation of the adjusting member about the fastener, and upon rotation of the rotary member to a second position the rotary member limits movement of the pivot arm in a predetermined range with respect to the adjusting member. 2. The tensioner as in claim 1 , wherein the rotary member comprises a notch for cooperatively engaging the adjusting member. 3. The tensioner as in claim 1 , wherein the adjusting member comprises a tool receiving portion. 4. The tensioner as in claim 1 further comprising a fastener having an axis C-C, the adjusting member rotatable about axis C-C.
