A tensioner for imparting tension to a chain having a body, a resilient chain guide element, at least one blade spring, and at least one bracket. The body of the tensioner has a surface with a profile of the path of a new chain and a groove found longitudinally along the length of the surface. The resilient chain guide element, on the surface of the body has a chain contact surface and two ends wrapped around the ends of the body, with the chain guide being sufficiently larger than the body, such that the chain contact surface is capable of being biased away from the body. The blade spring is present in the groove with its end in the containments means of the groove, biasing the chain guide out and away from the body. At least one bracket is fixedly attached to the body and has a pivot.

A tensioner for imparting tension to a chain having a body, a resilient chain guide element a support member and at least one blade spring. The body contains at least one groove on its surface adjacent to the resilient chain guide for containing a blade spring in compression. The length of the blade spring is less than the length of the support member.

A closed loop chain tensioner system having a drive sprocket, one or more driven sprockets, a first mechanical tensioner located adjacent a slack strand and a second mechanical tensioner located adjacent a tight strand. Each tensioner is independently pivotally mounted to the engine block. The mounting point may be located at any point along the length of each tensioner. The tensioners are then linked to each other by a rigid, solid link. This solid link enables the tensioners to act in unison, thus providing damping across both strands of chain in response to engine torsional variations.

A tensioner for imparting tension to a chain in a closed loop chain drive system of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The tensioner contains two tensioning devices, one for each strand of chain that traverses between a drive sprocket and at least one driven sprocket. The two tensioning devices are installed on a single bracket which is mounted to the engine housing at a single dampened pivot mount. The pivot mount is positioned equidistant from the mid points along the lengths of each of the chain sliding surfaces of each of the tensioning devices to substantially form an isosceles triangle.

An engine tensioning system including a pair of pivoting arms used to simultaneously tension two separate strands of the same chain in an engine timing system. The tensioner system includes a lever. The lever has a pair of fixed pins attached to an end located between the two strands of chain. The arms extend outside separate strands of the chain and carry shoes positioned to contact an outside portion of the chain are pivotally mounted to the fixed pins. Rotation of the lever causes the fixed pins to move laterally with respect to the chain strands and cause the arms to draw inwardly. The inward movement of the arms draw the shoes into contact with the chain strands and impart tension to the separate strands of the chain simultaneously.

A sprocket for engaging a power transmission chain and for limiting motion of the chain along the radial direction of the sprocket is disclosed. The sprocket supports the chain at the sprocket teeth to limit chain motion in the radial direction of the sprocket at the sprocket teeth. The support limits chain motion in the radial direction including motion induced by chordal fall.

A chain tensioner having a pair of tensioner arms with wear faces positioned to contact two separate strands of chain in an engine timing system. The tensioner includes an anchoring structure generally located between two sprockets interconnected by strands of power transmission chain. The anchoring structure houses a pair of parallel rods and an actuator. Tensioner arms are secured to the ends of the rods. One of the arms has a face positioned to engage an inside portion of a first strand of chain and the other arm has a face positioned to engage an outside portion of a second strand chain. The actuator pushes the arm in the inside position against the inside portion of the chain and the rods pull the arm in the outside position against the outside portion of the chain.

A unidirectional fluid flow check valve assembly is ideally suited for controlling gaseous fuel flow to pre-combustion chambers of internal combustion engines. The unidirectional fluid flow check valve assembly has an orifice plate having a center orifice biased against a valve seat by a spring. The valve seat has a plurality of ports unaligned with the orifice. A valve plate is held in confrontational relationship with the orifice plate and has a center port aligned with the orifice. The valve plate is sized and positioned to allow the orifice plate to move between the valve plate and the valve seat. All of the valve components can be assembled within a receptacle end of a male inlet housing. The inlet housing can then be threaded into a female outlet housing, forming a valve chamber therebetween. The combination of elements provides a valve that is easy to assemble, does not need valve seals, and prevents the orifice plate from floating during low pressure situations.

An apparatus for imparting tension to multiple strands of an endless loop power transferring member encircling a drive sprocket and at least one driven sprocket. A tensioner mechanism includes a slider assembly having a fixed body defining a slot, a slider body engaged within the slot for movement between opposite ends of the slot, and a spring urges the slider body toward one end of the slot. The slider body is operably engageable with at least one tensioning arm for driving the at least one tensioning arm to tension the power transferring member. A link assembly can include two link members pivotally connected to the slider body at first ends and individually connected at second ends to two tensioning arms.
