Abstract
A device for positioning the individual links of a length of chain having nks to be welded is disclosed. The device is used in connection with a chain welding machine wherein a length of chain is advanced step-by-step upwardly over a vertex defined by a saddle at which a welding station is located and then downwardly. The saddle is advantageously formed of a generally cylindrical, horizontally extending bolt affixed to the machine and which has a flattened top portion to which each chain link to be welded is advanced then erected for welding. Alternate links arrive at the flattened top of the bolt with the planes of successive links arranged at inclinations of 45.degree. to either side of a vertical plane containing the axis of the length of chain under the influence of the shape of the saddle and gravity.
