Abstract

A device for tensioning a thin plate comprises at least two assemblies, each having tensioning means on one end of the plate and means for rotating the end about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the plate. When this axis does not pass through the center of the end, means for the transverse translation of the end are advantageously added to the assembly. The assemblies are arranged in such a way that the plate is in equilibrium under the tension effect. The device has particular application to the tensioning of a flat resistor for producing materials.
