ABSTRACT:
A chain (10) with a plurality of links (13) positioned in substantially pllel relationship with respect to each other where the links (13) having an aperture (15) located at each end. An end region (14) of the links (13) extends from the aperture (15) to the end of the links (13). A plurality of connecting elements (19) connect together adjacent links (13). The links (13) are interconnected in a three-link arrangement in which similarly located end regions (14) of the links (13) are offset and the pattern repeats every three links. The connecting elements (19) pass through the aperture (15) on one end of one of the links (13) and the aperture (15) on the opposite end of the adjacent links (13). The end region (14) of the links (13) extends substantially to the adjacent connecting element (19) whereby the material in the end region (14) of the links (13) is increased and substantially increases the strength of the chain (10).
