Abstract
An improved structure manual tensioner. The tensioner includes a primary member having a narrow plate shaped into a pair of large and small parallel support arms. The large parallel support arm has a cylindrical handle formed contiguous to its free end and a protruding tab with a catch hole and a rivet hole are disposed in the parallel section of its surface to provide for the assembly to the small parallel support arm, thereby enabling the saving of both material and space, while also providing for extremely comfortable manual grasping in a simple structure that prevents slippage. As such, the fabrication procedures of the present invention are simple and convenient, assembly and installation efficiency is increased, and the spindle and the secondary member are structurally straightforward and not difficult to produce.
Claims3
A manual tensioner comprising:
- a primary member and a secondary member;
- a spindle movably conjoins the primary member and the secondary member;
- the primary member comprises a pair of large and small parallel support arms, a cylindrical handle extends from a free end of the large parallel support arm, a protruding tab with a catch hole and a rivet hole are disposed in a section of a surface between the large parallel support arm and the cylindrical handle;
- a lower half of the small parallel support arm and the large parallel support arm are of similar dimensions and a free tip of the small parallel support arm is positioned against the large parallel support arm;
- the free tip of the small parallel support arm includes a tab at its top edge configured for insertion and positioning into the catch hole of the large parallel support arm, the rivet hole of the large parallel support arm is thereby aligned with a corresponding rivet hole of the small parallel support arm and conjoined by a rivet, enabling the large and small parallel support arms to be riveted into a single structural entity, the tab of the free tip of the small parallel support arm extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal length of the cylindrical handle;
- and
- the large and small parallel support arms each includes a spindle hole positioned away from the cylindrical handle to provide for the pivotable insertion of the spindle therethrough.
