ABSTRACT:
A tensioner is used for reducing the slack of an endless belt wound between a driving rotating body mounted on a drive shaft and a driven rotating body mounted on a driven shaft. A tensioner comprises a base part having a sliding member fitted to the drive shaft or driven shaft with a frictional force, an arm part extending from the base part to a relaxed traveling line which is the return side line from the driving rotating body to the driven rotating body, and a contact member affixed to the arm part and abutting against the relaxed traveling line of the endless belt.
