Abstract

A plate for a rocker joint chain, wherein the plate includes two longitudinal legs and two vertical legs that together surround a plate opening. The plate includes an indentation positioned on an outer edge of at least one of the longitudinal legs, and it includes at least one tab positioned on the outside contour of the plate. The plate configuration enables an easier determination to be made to ascertain a specified orientation of such plates within an assembled plate-link chain formed from a plurality of plates.
