Abstract
An internal combustion engine having a power generating device, and a transmission link connecting the power generating device to an accessory operated by the power generating device, the transmission link being tensioned by a tension adjusting device which pivots, during tension relaxation, around an imaginary center of rotation, and during a tension increase, around a stop, such that the two elastic rigidities achieved for both rotations are in a ratio of at least two.
