Abstract
An apron-conveyor chain is to be improved, which comprises chain links interconnected at hinge points and transport plates arranged on at least one side of said chain links and provided with a flat transport surface. The hinge points are provided with at least one sleeve and one bolt, and said transport plates form an apron conveyor in common and are each firmly connected to a bolt included in a hinge point. The apron-conveyor chain is in particular characterized by the feature that each transport plate is firmly connected to two neighbouring bolts of two neighbouring hinge points.
