Abstract
The specification discloses a chain link assembly and chain incorporating said assembly, the chain being especially adapted for use in enclosed track-type conveyors. The assembly includes a pair of identical, elongated link members fitted together and mating with one another. Each link member has chain pin or fastener receiving openings at either end and a bridge member adapted to engage, support, and space the opposite link member. One end of each link member at the same end of the assembly includes a curved surface with elongated chain pin receiving openings to allow articulation of the assembly at that one end. The opposite ends are planar.
