ABSTRACT:
To reduce a sliding resistance of a tensioner lever of a transmission chain and to suppress any flapping vibration in a free span portion of the transmission chain, a tensioner lever (1,11) has a tensioner sprocket (2,12) disposed in registry with a bent portion of a transmission chain C having a minimum bent radius of curvature. The tensioner sprocket is pressed by the tensioner lever against the slack run of the transmission chain to form the bent portion, and a shoe member (3,13) is mounted between the tensioner sprocket and a proximal end (1', 11') of the tensioner lever to slidably guide the free span portion of the run.
