  • Conveyor chain
    Patent number: 6250459
    Abstract: A conveyor chain for conveying products comprises a plurality of links, each link having a body defining a supporting surface for the products that are to be conveyed. Two adjacent links in the plurality of links are hinged to each other by a spindle of predetermined axis parallel to the supporting surface and extending between side projections of a first link and a central projection of a second link. The two adjacent links are articulated together by a hinge pin on a predetermined axis intersecting the axis of the spindle and perpendicular to the supporting surface. The spindle passes through the hinge pin which is rotatable in a seat formed in the central projection of the second link. A flat part is housed in a depression in the body of the second link, is rotatable about the axis of the hinge pin and is fastened axially to the body of the second link by retention means.
