Abstract
Conveyor chain comprising a plurality of identical chain links (1) which are interconnected by means of transversely extending hinge pins through eye parts in the front edge and the rear edge of each chain link, and each chain link is designed with a top plate (2) arranged to support the items to be transported, said top plate being provided with fingers (5) and intermediate recesses (6) for engagement with the fingers and recesses of adjacent chain links. Each chain link comprises at least one cover face (12) at one of the edges (4) of the chain link, said face being situated at a level below the top plate (2) and such that the face may slide under the fingers of an adjacent chain link when the conveyor chain turns. The result is an introduction of 'bottoms' in the openings occurring by running in curves with chain links with fingers.
