Chain Tensioner?

Could someone explain to me how a chain tensioner works? I understand how to link two wheels to one motor with a chain, and I know that a chain tensioner is used to make sure the chain doesn't slip, but I don't understand exactly what a chain tensioner is and how it accomplishes this.

Thanks,
~Gabriel
