Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A chain tensioning device, comprising: a pair of spaced blocks; said blocks having opposed surfaces configured for abutment with opposite sides of an endless loop chain; aligned apertures formed through each of said blocks; an elongated connecting bar extending between said blocks and through said aligned apertures; means for independently adjustably securing each of said blocks along the length of said connecting bar; a mounting standard perpendicularly attached at a central portion of said connecting bar; a base connected to said mounting standard; means for securing said base adjacent a chain to be tensioned. a support link secured to one of said blocks; a gear rotatably mounted on said link; an oil reservoir on said link; an output nozzle on said reservoir; and valve means actuated upon rotation of said gear for opening and closing said output nozzle to lubricate a chain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A chain tensioning device, comprising: a pair of spaced blocks; said blocks having opposed surfaces configured for abutment with opposite sides of an endless loop chain; aligned apertures formed through each of said blocks; an elongated connecting bar extending between said blocks and through said aligned apertures; means for independently adjustably securing each of said blocks along the length of said connecting bar; a mounting standard perpendicularly attached at a central portion of said connecting bar; a base connected to said mounting standard; means for securing said base adjacent a chain to be tensioned. a support link secured to one of said blocks; a gear rotatably mounted on said link; an oil reservoir on said link; an output nozzle on said reservoir; and valve means actuated upon rotation of said gear for opening and closing said output nozzle to lubricate a chain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The chain tensioning device of claim 1, wherein each of said opposed surfaces comprises a rectangular channel track having a central projection.
