Bi-Directional Belt Tensioner

US Patent:
7837582, Nov 23, 2010
Filed:
Aug 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/632703
Inventors:
Gary Smith - Wilmington NC, US
William McCotter - Wilmington NC, US
Thomas Hughes - Wilmington NC, US
Carl Cura - Wilmington NC, US
Assignee:
Fenner, Inc. - Manheim PA
International Classification:
F16H 7/12
US Classification:
474135, 474117, 474138
Abstract:
An assembly for maintaining tension in a drive belt features a housing mounted on a base. The housing contains a biasing element that exerts torque on the housing to bias the housing in a radial direction. A lever arm is connected to the housing and rotates with the housing in response to the bias of the biasing element. A pulley is connected to the lever arm and engages a drive belt in response to the bias force of the biasing element on the lever arm. The pulley deflects the shape of the belt to provide tension in the belt. In one embodiment, the apparatus allows the user to switch the position of the biasing element and alter the direction of torque on the lever arm. In another embodiment, the lever arm and pulley are removable from the housing and replaceable with other arms and pulleys having different configurations.

Tensioner Assembly With Sealed Pulley

US Patent:
8591359, Nov 26, 2013
Filed:
May 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/125398
Inventors:
Christopher B Ward - Marietta PA, US
Thomas E Hughes - Wilmington NC, US
Matthew B Neal - Wilmington NC, US
Assignee:
Fenner U.S., Inc. - Manheim PA
International Classification:
F16H 7/12
US Classification:
474135
Abstract:
A pulley assembly operable in connection with a tensioner assembly is provided for tensioning a belt. The pulley assembly includes one or more elements for sealing the pulley to protect the pulley assembly in harsh environments. For instance, the pulley assembly may include one or more shields for protecting the pulley from contaminants entering the interior of the pulley assembly that can lead to premature failure.

Rotary Tensioner

US Patent:
2010026, Oct 14, 2010
Filed:
Apr 13, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/422638
Inventors:
Thomas E. Hughes - Wilmington NC, US
International Classification:
F16H 7/12, F16H 7/08
US Classification:
474135
Abstract:
An assembly for maintaining tension in a drive belt features a housing mounted on a base. The housing contains a biasing element that exerts torque on the housing to bias the housing. An arm is connected to the housing and rotates with the housing in response to the bias of the biasing element. A pulley is connected to the lever arm and engages a drive belt in response to the bias force of the biasing element on the lever arm. The pulley deflects the shape of the belt to provide tension in the belt. A sealing element provides prevents migration of debris into the housing and provides a biasing force to impede translatory movement of a first half of the housing from a second half of the housing, while allowing rotation of the first half relative to the second half.
