Abstract
A belt assembly which, in operation, can be tensioned along a path, comprising a belt having a toothed surface and a oppositely located back surface and at least one unit fastened to the belt on the side of the back surface. Where the unit is fastened to the belt, parts of the belt are bent out of the path of the belt assembly in the direction of the unit. The unit includes a retention element which engages the toothed surface of the bent belt parts so that a pitch between the teeth of the belt located on either side of the unit is a whole multiple of the teeth pitch of the belt.
