ABSTRACT:
A tool to facilitate the tightening of a belt which operates between a power output shaft of an engine and a power generating device, such as a generator or alternator, which is mounted spaced from the engine. The power generating device is to be pivotally mounted with respect to the engine block. Each end of the tool of the first embodiment is specially configured into an L-shaped section. The long leg of the L-shaped section terminates in a hook with there being an elongated cut-out section adjacent the hook. The hook is to be inserted within a ventilating opening assembly provided within the power generating device and the tool then positioned so that torque can be applied to the power generating device tending to pivot such about its mounting bracket until the belt assumes a sufficiently taut configuration. The mounting bracket assembly is then fixed by appropriate fastening means to prevent pivotal movement of the power generating device with respect to the engine. In the second embodiment, only one end is operative. This operative end includes a planar cross plate mounted in an inclined manner relative to the longitudinal center axes of the tool. Either outer free end of the inclined plate is capable of functioning as a fulcrum point against the housing of the power generating apparatus. One fulcrum point is used for one type of generating apparatus installation, with the other fulcrum point to be used for another type of installation. Each fulcrum point works in conjunction with a hook formed at the outer end of the operative end.
