Abstract
For enhanced durability, a traveling guide shoe for a roller chain has a cross-sectional shape with a base slide guide surface 12 which engages only the bottoms of the side link plates of the chain on a chain-incoming-end, a projecting rolling guide surface 13 which engages only the rollers of the chain at an intermediate portion of the shoe. The base surface 12 and the projecting surface 13 are connected with each other through a continuous transfer surface 13.
