A watch chain is disclosed. The watch chain comprises a pin groove formed at a spaced inner surface with a certain depth; a plurality of outer connection pieces which have through holes passing through the inner side of the pin groove in the direction of the back surface; a plurality of central connection pieces which have pin holes at spaced portion with the left and right sides of the same being communicated; a connection pin which passes through the pin hole of the central connection piece an...

A tensioner for a chain, includes a tensioner piston bearing upon a chain and guided by a cylinder for movement in the direction of the chain. The cylinder and the piston define a pressure chamber for receiving hydraulic fluid, wherein hydraulic fluid is able to escape from the pressure chamber via a leakage gap. A control member is provided to at least reduce the leakage gap in size, when a pressure in the pressure chamber increases.

A food processing system for an elongated strand of food product, such as hot dogs or sausage links, provides aligned orientation of conveyor hooks and identical arrival time spacing between adjacent hooks at a reference loading point at a strand producing machine discharge station.

A link chain has multiple individual chain links arranged in a repeating sequence. A first chain link has two shank portions connected by two arc portions which define an interior space. One or more dividing elements project inwardly from an inside surface of a shank portion and divide the interior space into two movement spaces. A second chain link has two shank portions connected by two arc portions which define a movement space within its interior. The second link is linked to the first link ...

The present invention relates to a conveyor chain comprising inner chain links and outer chain links which are arranged in alternating succession and which are interconnected by respective chain hinges, a chain hinge comprising a sleeve of the inner chain link and a pin forming part of the outer chain link and extending through the sleeve. The functionality of such a conveyor chain is to be extended. For this purpose, at least one brush element is provided, which comprises at least one fastening...

A charm chain is comprised of an ornamental chain in a selected shape, multiple snaps and a lining band, snaps being respectively fixed to both ends of the ornamental chain and retain the lining band at the bottom of the ornamental chain for the charm chain to be adapted to a string bikini, a bra, a strap or any other accessories for ornamental purpose and safe use since the ornamental chain is prevented from directly contacting one's skin by means of the: lining band.

A chain drive comprises a chain having a plurality of articulating chain links and a toothed sprocket. The sprocket and the chain links have bearing surfaces that contact one another during meshing of the chain. The surfaces are disposed along the length of the chain between the apertures and to one side of a sprocket tooth. One of the bearing surfaces is arcuate so that during meshing of said chain link the bearing surfaces are brought into contact such that the instantaneous centre of rotation...

A chain cover is provided which can be mounted on a general-purpose roller chain, can be attached and detached to and from the chain, and will not impair bendability of the chain. Side covers for covering both sides of the chain extend from both ends of a top cover for covering a top of the chain. Each side cover has a shaft hole for receiving a coupling pin of the chain, a convex arcuate front edge that is concentric with the shaft hole, a concave arcuate rear edge opposed to the front edge, an...
