Tension or guide rail for a chain drive
First Claim
1. A tension or guide rail for a chain drive of an internal combustion engine, comprising a carrier formed from filled or reinforced plastics for carrying a slideway lining body of plastics which is connected to the carrier in form-fit and friction-locked fashion, the carrier and the slideway lining body having integral matching form-fit and friction-locking elements, the carrier and slideway lining body being separately prefabricated constructional plastic units, and the prefabricated slideway lining body is subsequently connected mechanically to the prefabricated carrier by means of the form-fit and friction-locking elements.
