Abstract: A power transmission chain consisting of at least a series of overlapping links held together by joints in front and back connections in the form of thrust shafts. Between said thrust shafts are arranged cooperation transmission pieces, which upon rotation transmit a corresponding rotation to the next thrust shaft as seen in the direction of the chain motion. In order to provide a chain which produces insignificant inertial forces, low power losses, low sound and vibration disturbances, low wear and which further allow a torque transmission with low prestress of the chain each thrust shaft is non-rotatably fastened to at least one transmission apparatus comprising a force and motion communicating transmission part, which cooperates with the transmission part attached to the next thrust shaft.
