Placing tight belts on pulleys


Recommended Posts

From A. E. Holiday

 

We have a number of belts that are used very tight and in consequence are difficult to place on their pulleys. The small device shown in the illustration makes the task of placing a tight belt an easy one.

 

 

The device is made of 1/8 inch flat steel about 2 inches wide. It is bent at right angles at the ends, the bends being made so that the contrivance will fit the width of the pulley face. The ends are about 2 inches long. By starting the belt on the pulley and holding this iron the belt the belt can be run on the pulley without difficulty. To avoid accidents the belt should be run on by hand or at a very low speed.
