Reinforced tensioner guide having a pressing member pressing against the reinforcing plate

摘要

A tensioning guide for a chain, belt or the like comprises a synthetic resin guide body 110 having a shoe 111 on which the chain slides, and a slotted plate-receiving portion integrally moulded on the back side of the shoe for receiving a reinforced plate 120. The plate-receiving portion is composed of a pair of opposed longitudinally extending walls 112a. A convex pressing member 113, integrally moulded with one of the walls 112a protrudes into the slot through a partially cut-away portion of the wall and exerts a resilient pressing force on the reinforcing plate 120. The guide suppresses shock noises due to movement of the components during operation.
