Safety hook

A method and a device for bending a rod-shaped link blank into a substantially closed chain link, particularly while at the same time hooking the link blank into a chain end. According to the invention, the blank is brought into a first receiving position with one of its end portions located between, on the one hand, two rotatable abutment rollers disposed at a distance from each other and, on the other hand, a bending tool movable back and forth transversely between said abutment rollers. The bending tool is then brought to a position between the two rollers so as to bend said one end portion of the link blank. The link blank is then brought out from the abutment rollers and is placed in a second receiving portion with its other end portion located between, on the one hand, the abutment rollers and, on the other hand, the bending tool, and the bending tool is then again moved in between the rollers so as to bend said other end portion of the link blank, possibly while at the same time hooking said one bent end portion of the link blank into the last link of a chain end.

Method of bending a link blank into a chain link and a bending machine

A device for inserting a link stud into a chain link to permit subsequent fastening of the link stud in the chain link in the region of the stud and/or by welding same. According to the invention, a pivotably mounted arm is arranged in operative connection to a stud fastening station, the arm carrying at its free end an operable holding means for holding said link stud and being pivotable back and forth between a collecting position adjacent a link stud feeding device and a delivery position adjacent the stud fastening station, and the holding means is resiliently mounted at the free end of the arm so as to enable guiding of the holding means into a well-defined position relative to a chain link situated in the stud fastening station.

Link stud inserter

A method and a device for revolving the last chain link element of a freely hanging chain end. The chain link element is brought into contact with at least one rotating roller located under the chain end, said roller carrying the chain link element while making it rotate in its plane.
