Abstract
The belt tension idler device increases tension on a belt. A mounting foot secures the belt tension idler to a vehicle. A rotating head that extends from the body of the device contacts the belt to maintain tension against the belt. A tensioning spring biases the device to maintain tension on the belt. The tension reduces slack thereby reducing vibrations from the belt and maintaining proper alignment of the belt.
