Abstract: A lateral chain link for conveyor belts, particularly for food, includes a substantially U-shaped body wherein the front portion is shaped to be inserted between two facing end parts of a rear portion of a facing identical link. The front portion has two longitudinally extending symmetrical slots for the passage and traverse of an end portion of a first rod-like element of a conveyor belt. The rear portion has an opening on one of its end parts, for inserting an end portion of an additional rod-like element. The outer rear end part has a contoured lateral tab for meshing with a toothed wheel, or belt, of associated entrainment means, and has a lower tipping-preventing side wall. The link is constituted by two parts which are mutually joined with a reversible fixing component: a first part includes the U-shaped body, and the second part includes the lateral tab and lower tipping-preventing side wall.

Abstract: A link of a side chain for conveyor belts, particularly for food, of the type comprising a substantially V-shaped body, the rear portion of which has, on each end part, a hole for the insertion of an end portion of a rod-like element; the outer rear end part has a lateral tab that is contoured to mesh with a wheel or belt provided with teeth of associated driving means. The lateral tab is formed so as to be crossed by the axis of the holes for the rod-like element.
