BELT DRIVE, ESPECIALLY FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES, TO DRIVE ACCESSORIES IN AN AUTOMOBILE

摘要

The belt drive disclosed in the invention normally has at least two belt pulleys (10, 11), wherein a tensioning pulley (16, 17) tensioned by spring force is mounted on both the return strand and the load strand, that is, on both opposite ends of the pulleys. This makes it possible to transmit torques in both directions and to also use the generator of an internal combustion engine as a starter.
