Abstract

A chain guide for a stenter comprises head pieces and end pieces, each carrying a respective return wheel for the associated chain, each head piece being pivotally connected to an associated guide rail so that it can be swung out about a vertical axis and each end piece being displaceable outwardly while remaining parallel to the guide rails. The arrangement allows vertical chain reversal while still allowing clips to be carried by the chain and to engage and disengage a web satisfactorily.
