Abstract
Abstract A support device for an alternator or generator includes a horizontal mounting plate which is laterally movable in relation to a driving source for the alternator or generator. The mounting plate is provided with a slot which receives and secures a bar from a generator support member or an alternator support member. The generator support member includes vertical arms in a channellike configuration with a chain attached to the arms to secure a generator therebetween. The alternator support member includes a rod on which an alternator may be positioned by means of an aperture through the alternator. A drive belt secured between the driving source and the alternator or generator is properly tensioned by appropriate lateral movement of the mounting plate.
