Abstract
In a continuous press having two rotatably driven endless conveyor belts forming opposed, substantially linear spans defining a pressing zone with press platens applying pressure through the travelling spans to work carried therebetween with anti-friction roller means interposed between the platens and spans, the anti-friction roller means being endless loops of rotatably unpowered roller chains forming a bed interposed between the platens and the belt spans with the roller chain spans extending longitudinally with respect to the belt spans and being transversely packed together with each chain individually free to travel independently with respect to the others and the belt span wherein the chains are comprised of units of at least two equal diameter rollers installed in a cantilevered manner on roller pins, the roller pins being linked together by a chain of flat interposed links with adjacent rollers in the direction in which they run of the same length and having their outer end faces situated in a plane which forms the outer delimiting surface of the chain.
