The present invention relates to a side bow conveyor chain whose respective chain links are interconnected by a chain hinge which is adapted to be pivoted about a first and a second axis, said chain hinge comprising a pivot bolt which is arranged along said first axis, a pivot pin which is arranged along said second axis and through which the pivot bolt extends, and a reception sleeve, which extends along the second axis and in which the pivot pin is pivotable relative to the reception sleeve about said second axis. The reception sleeve is provided with lateral pivot openings which allow the pivot bolt to pass through. The stability of such a chain is improved by the features that inner and outer chain links are provided in alternating succession, that an inner chain link comprises a reception sleeve on either end thereof and at least one inner link plate interconnecting said reception sleeves, that an outer chain link comprises a pivot bolt and a pivot pin on either end thereof and at least two outer link plates interconnecting the same, and that each of the end faces of the at least two outer link plates laterally encompasses a reception sleeve of a neighbouring inner chain link. The inner and outer link plates, which are arranged such that they are set up on edge, extend vertically to the first axis when the chain moves straight ahead.
