  • Patent number: 8840497
    Abstract: A pulley device for a belt or chain tensioning or guide roller includes a pulley, a rolling bearing, and a spacer configured to support the rolling bearing and having a transverse mounting surface disposable against an external element. An attachment member includes a threaded portion with an outer diameter and a retaining ring is disposed on the attachment member and retains the attachment member axially relative to the spacer. The ring has an inner diameter lesser than the outer diameter of the threaded portion in a free state and opening such that the ring is radially deflectable. Preferably, the spacer has a recess extending from the mounting surface defined by a frustaconical surface tapering outwardly toward the mounting surface and a shoulder extending inwardly from the frustoconical surface, the ring being deflectable radially inwardly by the recess so as to be disposed generally against the shoulder of the recess.
