  • Tensioning device
    Patent number: 7429226
    Abstract: A traction mechanism, in particular for driving the camshafts of an internal combustion engine, is provided. The mechanism includes a drive wheel, a driven wheel, a traction element and first and second tensioner slide rails. One slide rail can be subjected to a clamping force by a first clamping device that is supported both on the slide rail and externally. The first slide rail is connected to the second slide rail in a manner that transmits a defined force or displacement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 21, 2006
    Date of Patent: September 30, 2008
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventor: Andreos Tryphonos
  • Belt assembly with a tensioning device
    Patent number: 7390276
    Abstract: A belt assembly, particularly for driving camshafts of an internal combustion engine, includes a driving gear, at least one driven gear, a belt, and a first and a second tensioner blade that are joined to one another for transmitting a defined force and motion. One tensioner blade can be subjected to the action of tension force by use of a first tensioning device supported on the tensioner blade on one side and externally on the other, and the tensioner blades can be subjected to the action of tension force by use of a second tensioning device both with regard to one another as well as with regard to a case of the internal combustion engine.
