ABSTRACT:
A tension gauge for accurately and visually indicating the tension on an elongated element, such as an automobile fan belt, even though such element is irregular in size or shape. The tension gauge has a frame and two spaced surfaces supported on the frame for engaging one side of the element. A spring-loaded first element engaging member is supported on the frame for applying a known force to the opposite side of the element at a point intermediate the surfaces. A second element engaging member is supported on the frame and is responsive to the deflection induced in the element by the force applied by the first member. An indicator on the frame provides a visual display of the deflection measured by the second element, such deflection being proportional to the tension on the element.
