A tensioning device for imparting torsional bias to a shaft. The tensioning device includes a coupling member of resilient material having a first end and a second end. The first end of the coupling member is connected to the shaft for rotation therewith. A driven member is connected to the second end of the coupling member such that the driven member is relatively rotatable with respect to the shaft. A drive member is associated with the driven member for selectively rotating the driven member to any of a number of infinitely variable positions. The tensioning device is effective to rotate the shaft to a desired position and to store torsional force in the coupling member when the second end of the coupling member is rotated with respect to the first end of the coupling member. The tensioning device includes a torsion indicating member for indicating the amount of torsional force being applied to the shaft by the coupling member.
