Abstract: The invention concerns a pallet for a conveyor chain comprising a chain and guide walls defining a path including straight portions and portions with maximum curvature, each pallet comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge and two lateral edges designed to co-operate with the guide walls. The leading and trailing edges of each pallet are configured such that the leading edge of a pallet, the trailing edge of an adjacent pallet, and the lateral edges of said pallets define with the guide walls, in the plane of the pallets, surfaces of dimensions greater than predetermined dimensions in one straight path portion as well as in a path portion with maximum curvature, so as to prevent an operator's finger form getting caught.
