Abstract
A plate-link chain composed of a large number of plates that form plate sets, where adjacent plate sets are hingedly connected to each other by pairs of rocker members. The rocker members of a rocker member pair have rolling surfaces that bear against each other. Some plate sets, preferably every second one, have a cover plate on their outwardly-facing sides, and the two rocker members associated with the plate set provided with the cover plates are received in receiving openings of the cover plates, and are pressed into them. At least one of the openings has relief cuts on both ends of a contact surface contacted by the rolling surface of the received rocker member, with the cover plate opening having a third relief cut.
