Abstract
A link chain conveyor has rollers on opposite sides of the chain, a track has a groove in which the rollers travel, in both the vertical or the horizontal orientation. The link chain has a U-shaped bracket which is pivotally connected at each of its ends to a conventional link chain adapted to receive a tooth of a sprocket wheel. The U-shaped bracket has conventional link chain connector means so that almost any existing link claim carried equipment may be connected thereto. This way, the inventive claim is compatible with existing link chain conveyor equipment.
