Patent ID: 6997307

Claim:
A device for tensioning and loosening of an endless conveyor belt which is guided over deflection means, which is additionally supported between the deflection means by a support construction, wherein the device has displacement means for displacing of displaceable deflection means parallel to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt, the device comprising: support means, which are co-displaceable with the displacing of the displaceable deflection means parallel to the direction of travel of the conveyor belt, wherein the support means support the conveyor belt between the support construction and the displaceable deflection means wherein the support means are designed so that they support the conveyor belt throughout the entire region between the support construction and the displaceable deflection means, in which the conveyor belt is not supported by the support construction or the displaceable deflection means regardless of the displacement position of the displaceable deflection means.
