Abstract: The invention relates to a component made from a material consisting predominantly of renewable raw materials, the component having at least one hole with a longitudinal axis (A) and the material being locally compressed in the region peripherally adjoining the hole. According to the method, at least one pin, which comprises a substantially cylindrical shaft and a tip having a reducing diameter in the direction of the component, penetrates into the material, thus creating a hole in the component, and displaces the wood material radially and/or axially, so that the material in the region surrounding the hole is compressed. The tool used for carrying out the method is designed in the form of at least one pin having a cylindrical or polygonal shaft and a tip reducing in diameter in the direction of the component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a side bow conveyor chain whose respective chain links are interconnected by a chain hinge which is adapted to be pivoted about a first and a second axis, said chain hinge comprising a pivot bolt which is arranged along said first axis, a pivot pin which is arranged along said second axis and through which the pivot bolt extends, and a reception sleeve, which extends along the second axis and in which the pivot pin is pivotable relative to the reception sleeve about said second axis. The reception sleeve is provided with lateral pivot openings which allow the pivot bolt to pass through.
