<p>The invention comprises a belt installation tool (100) comprising a substantially planar body (10). A belt engaging surface (20) extends substantially normally from a portion of the planar body (10). A pulley engaging portion (30) extends from the planar body (10) approximately opposite the belt engaging surface (21). A central bore (40) allows a tool to engage a pulley shaft. In use, the pulley engaging surface engages a pulley whereby the tool (100) is rotated by a pulley rotation about a pulley axis, thereby causing the belt engaging surface (21) to automatically urge a belt onto a pulley. The planar body (10) stabilizes the tool against the pulley as a belt is installed. The molded body may be fabricated by injection molding.</p> |
