BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
4 In the well known link chaln, such as a bicycle chain, ~
adjacent links are interconnected by means of pivot pins which 6 permit each link to be rotatable about the axis of the pin such 7 that the chain is movable on a sprocket around a curvéd path.
¦ While such chains have been employed for many years and are of g ¦ extremely well known design and construction, the chains are ¦ subject to frictional wear by reason of relative movement between 11 ~ the links and pivot pins. The wear of conventional link chains 12 ¦ results in loosening of the couplings of the links and unwanted 13 play which can detract fr performance and efficiency. In 14 addition, relative rotational movement of conventional links -~
¦ about the!associated pivot pins can be encumbered by the 16 ¦ presence of dirt and debris at the pivot points.

. '. ~' link with reqpect to adjacent links without need for pivot pins and without frictional movement between adjacent links. A
flexible, thin strip member is secured along an edge thereof to an end of a link, while the opposite edge of such strip is secured to the confronting end of an adjacent link to provide a' flexible and non-frictionally coupled link pair, the links of each adjacent pair being relatively movable about a transverse axis by flexure of the strip member. The strip members have tensile strength sufficient to provide a chain of intended strength while having sufficient flexiblity to accommodate angular movement of the links. The novel chain can be employed as a transmission chain or as a conveyor chain. For conveyor applications, a plurality of links is usually arrayed side by side to provide an intended width, the links being secured along the width of the conveyor by the flexible strip members. For transmission purposes, the chain can be of single link or multiple link width.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A link chain constructed and operative according to the invention is shown in Figs. 1 through 3, and includes a plurality of elongated links 10, each connected end to end with like links to provide a chain of predetermined length, and also laterally coupled to other like links to provide a chain of intended width. -Each link 10 includes first and second enlarged end portions 12 and 14, within which is secured for flexural vement a relatively thin flexiblestrip member 16. In the illustrated embodiment, strip member 16 includes enlarged edges 18 and 20 which are cooperative with corresponding slots 22 in the end portions 12 and 14 of links 10 for anchoring of the strip member to the associated links. Each link end portion includes an anchoring slot 22 or other means for anchoring an edge of the strip member to the associated link end. An outwardly flared opening 2g is provided in each link end portion to define a space within which the strip member 16 can bend or flex during movement of a link with respect to the adjacent link as the chain travels a curved path.
In the illustrated embodiment a plurality of links 10 are arranged and interconnected in side by side relationship to ~ . , .

A link end 14a 3 j, of link lOa is disposed adjacent to link end 12b of an adjacent 4 li link lOb, the end 14b of link lOb being adjacent end 12c of ' link lOc. Link end 12b is also disposed adjacent to end 14d of 6 i laterally adjacent link lOd. Link end 14b is also laterally 7 ¦1 adjacent to end 12e of link lOe. In like manner an array of ~ links are laterally and longitudinally coupled to provide a chain g ¦ of desired size. The adjacent link ends are interconnected by ¦ a strip member 16. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 3 11 ¦ a strip member 16a interconnects adjacent link ends 14a, 12b, 12 ¦ 14d and 12f. A strip member 16b interconnects link ends 12c, 13 1 14b, 12e and 14f. The strip members 16 each include side -14 i edges 18 and 20 and which are of enlarged cross-section and which Ij serve to anchor the strip member to the associated link ends.
16 ¦, The strip member 16a is secured at edge 20 within the correspond-17 ll ing anchoring slot 22 of link end 14a, while the opposite 18 ¦ edge 18 is secured within the corresponding anchoring slot of 19 I adjacent link end 12b. Similarly, the edge 20 of strip member ! 16a is retained within the anchoring slot of link end 14d w~ile 21 i' the anchoring slot of end 12f secures the edge 18 of strip 22 ! member 16a. It is seen that the strip member is secured to adjacent link ends at opposite edges such that relative anguTar 24 movement of the adjacent links is provided by flexure of the ! strips along the width. The strip members are slidably inserted, 2~ i as shown in Fig. 3, into the associated anchoring grooves 22 of 27 ,- the link ends to couple an intended plurality of links for a 28 ¦' given cha n configuration.
l, _5_ 1 In typical operation, the transmission or conveyor chain 2 1 is installed for movement through a closed path and is driven 3 1I by a sprocket while disposed at o.ne or more positions in the 4 ¦, travel path. During movement around a curve, the longitudinally 1! adjacent links 10 are angularly movable with respect to each othe~
6 1. by means of the flexural action of strip member 16. As seen in 7 ¦' Fig. 2, for example, angular movement o link lOa with respect 8 ¦, to link lOb is permitted by the flexing of strip member 16a which 9 ¦¦ is shown in engagement with the lower surface of opening 24. The ¦' configuration and dimensions of the flex space provided by open-11 1, ing 24 is determined in accordance with the degree of angular 12 ¦, movement required between adjacent links of a particular chain.
13 lj It will be appreciated that the novel chain suffers no sliding 14 ¦~ or rotational frictional contact between adjacent links since no 1( pivot pins are employed, as in a conventional link chain.
16 1 Relative movement between adjacent links is provided solely by 17 ¦ flexure of the strip members interconnecting the links.
18 1. In the embodiments described above, the end portions 12 and 19 ~, 14 of the links 10 can be cooperative with a sprocket wheel for 2~ ll propulsion of the chain. The end portions can be suitably con-21 1, figured in any well known sprocket tooth shape for intended 22 I mating with the sprocket wheel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A link chain constructed and operative according to the invention is shown in Figs. 1 through 3, and includes a plurality of elongated links 10, each connected end to end with like links to provide a chain of predetermined length, and also laterally coupled to other like links to provide a chain of intended width. -Each link 10 includes first and second enlarged end portions 12 and 14, within which is secured for flexural vement a relatively thin flexiblestrip member 16. In the illustrated embodiment, strip member 16 includes enlarged edges 18 and 20 which are cooperative with corresponding slots 22 in the end portions 12 and 14 of links 10 for anchoring of the strip member to the associated links. Each link end portion includes an anchoring slot 22 or other means for anchoring an edge of the strip member to the associated link end. An outwardly flared opening 2g is provided in each link end portion to define a space within which the strip member 16 can bend or flex during movement of a link with respect to the adjacent link as the chain travels a curved path.
In the illustrated embodiment a plurality of links 10 are arranged and interconnected in side by side relationship to ~ . , .

A link end 14a 3 j, of link lOa is disposed adjacent to link end 12b of an adjacent 4 li link lOb, the end 14b of link lOb being adjacent end 12c of ' link lOc. Link end 12b is also disposed adjacent to end 14d of 6 i laterally adjacent link lOd. Link end 14b is also laterally 7 ¦1 adjacent to end 12e of link lOe. In like manner an array of ~ links are laterally and longitudinally coupled to provide a chain g ¦ of desired size. The adjacent link ends are interconnected by ¦ a strip member 16. In the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 through 3 11 ¦ a strip member 16a interconnects adjacent link ends 14a, 12b, 12 ¦ 14d and 12f. A strip member 16b interconnects link ends 12c, 13 1 14b, 12e and 14f. The strip members 16 each include side -14 i edges 18 and 20 and which are of enlarged cross-section and which Ij serve to anchor the strip member to the associated link ends.
16 ¦, The strip member 16a is secured at edge 20 within the correspond-17 ll ing anchoring slot 22 of link end 14a, while the opposite 18 ¦ edge 18 is secured within the corresponding anchoring slot of 19 I adjacent link end 12b. Similarly, the edge 20 of strip member ! 16a is retained within the anchoring slot of link end 14d w~ile 21 i' the anchoring slot of end 12f secures the edge 18 of strip 22 ! member 16a. It is seen that the strip member is secured to adjacent link ends at opposite edges such that relative anguTar 24 movement of the adjacent links is provided by flexure of the ! strips along the width. The strip members are slidably inserted, 2~ i as shown in Fig. 3, into the associated anchoring grooves 22 of 27 ,- the link ends to couple an intended plurality of links for a 28 ¦' given cha n configuration.
l, _5_ 1 In typical operation, the transmission or conveyor chain 2 1 is installed for movement through a closed path and is driven 3 1I by a sprocket while disposed at o.ne or more positions in the 4 ¦, travel path. During movement around a curve, the longitudinally 1! adjacent links 10 are angularly movable with respect to each othe~
6 1. by means of the flexural action of strip member 16. As seen in 7 ¦' Fig. 2, for example, angular movement o link lOa with respect 8 ¦, to link lOb is permitted by the flexing of strip member 16a which 9 ¦¦ is shown in engagement with the lower surface of opening 24. The ¦' configuration and dimensions of the flex space provided by open-11 1, ing 24 is determined in accordance with the degree of angular 12 ¦, movement required between adjacent links of a particular chain.
13 lj It will be appreciated that the novel chain suffers no sliding 14 ¦~ or rotational frictional contact between adjacent links since no 1( pivot pins are employed, as in a conventional link chain.
16 1 Relative movement between adjacent links is provided solely by 17 ¦ flexure of the strip members interconnecting the links.
18 1. In the embodiments described above, the end portions 12 and 19 ~, 14 of the links 10 can be cooperative with a sprocket wheel for 2~ ll propulsion of the chain. The end portions can be suitably con-21 1, figured in any well known sprocket tooth shape for intended 22 I mating with the sprocket wheel. The invention can be alternative 23 'j ly implemented as shown in Figs. 4 and.5 in which a sprocket 24 ~,, tooth structure is provided at the central portion of:links 10 l between the enlarged end portions of the.links. - .
26 Referring to Fig. 4, a sprocket tooth 30 is joined to 27 . links 32a and 32b at a position centrally disposed between the 28 ' end portions thereof and extending transversely to the longitu-29 dinal axis of the lin~s. The tooth 30 can be integrally formed . . .
