More Information
Summary:A tensioner has a cylindrical member having multiple locking teeth, one or multiple locking pieces having locking teeth to be engaged with the locking teeth, and a locking piece receiving part to receive the aforementioned locking pieces. A shaft member is disposed inside the cylindrical member, and either the cylindrical member or the shaft member constitutes a thrust member that can be driven forward and backward by a biasing force. A ratchet mechanism allows the thrust member to move forward by the locking pieces riding over the locking teeth of the cylindrical member as they move in a reduced-diameter direction and constrains retraction of the thrust member by the locking pieces engaging with the locking teeth of the cylindrical member as they move in an increased-diameter direction. The locking teeth are all thread-like teeth having a lead angle.
