Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a chain that employs simple structures so as to establish contact surface pressures in accordance with various conditions of use, for the purpose of reducing frictional loss and preventing wear or damage to a chain guide member, as well as reducing order-related noise. The chainis formed by inner linksand outer linksalternately and pivotably coupled together in a longitudinal direction of the chain. The plurality of inner platesinclude an asymmetrical inner platehaving different edge shapes on upper and lower sides in a height direction of the chain.
