Abstract
A link chain for a continuously variable cone pulley gear whose link pins connecting the individual chain links 1,2; 11,12 are formed as pairs of rocker members 25. The end faces of the rocker members 25 transfer the friction forces between the cone pulleys and the link chain. The rocker members are secured at least in part by retaining elements 20,33 against moving sideways out of the recesses in the chain links. One retaining plate 20,33 is allocated to at least the outside chain links of the chain defining the chain width. The retaining plate 20,33 is mounted on the outside of the outer chain link and is fixed on the rocker members associated with the chain link with a clamping seat 28-31; 44-47 which leaves the rocker faces free. The structural unit formed from at least one retaining plate 20,33 and the associated rocker members has a design which allows a change in the spacing of these rocker members in the chain longitudinal direction.
