Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a tensioning device (1) for chains, having a spindle body (2) which is provided with at least one spindle thread (11), and with at least two coupling elements (3, 4), wherein at least one coupling element (3, 4) comprises a coupling thread (3b, 4b) screwed to the spindle thread (11), and with a securing element (5) which is embodied to be transferable from a release position, in which the coupling thread (3b, 4b) can be rotated with respect to the spindle thread (11), to a securing position, in which a rotation of the coupling thread (3b, 4b) with respect to the spindle body (2) is blocked in a form-fitting manner. To provide a tensioning device with an easily operatable and secure release protection, the tensioning device (1) comprises at least one securing element (5) which creates a positive rigid body coupling between the at least one coupling element (3, 4) provided with a coupling thread (3b, 4b) and the spindle body (2) in the securing position.
