ABSTRACT:
A apparatus for measuring tension in a strand such as a belt is provided with an elongated housing having a pair of opposite longitudinal ends and respective structures at the ends having structure edges facing transversely in the same direction and generally defining a plane. A two-arm lever is pivoted on the housing between the ends thereof and has an abutment arm extending transversely between the plates and a measuring arm extending generally longitudinally of the housing and having an arm edge lying between the structure edges and facing transversely opposite to the structure edges. A pivot supports the lever on the housing for angular motion about an axis transverse to the housing between two end positions with the arm edge lying on opposite sides of the plane. A spring is braced between the abutment arm and one of the housing ends for urging the lever into the end portion with the arm edge between the plane and the housing. A pointer on the lever cooperate with indicia on the housing to indicate the angular position of the lever.
