Supporting chain e.g. steel joint chain, for use in supporting device for supporting press band, has end pieces accommodating safety unit such that chain is formed in planar manner in two sides pointing transverse to conveying direction

摘要

The chain has individual chain links (21) that are connected with each other and form a planar surface, where the links are formed from chain spikes (24) with a number of chain plates (25). The plates connecting the spikes with each other are kept on the spikes by a safety unit that is attached to the free ends of the spikes. End pieces (27) are arranged at the free ends of the spikes, where the pieces are formed for accommodation of the safety unit such that the chain is formed in a planar manner in two sides pointing transverse to a conveying direction of the chain.
