ABSTRACT:
A chain drive includes an endless chain formed of forked links and trained about a drive sprocket and a return sprocket. Each sprocket includes circumferentially arranged teeth and a polygon which radially supports the chain links as they travel about the sprockets. The drive sprocket engages the links only with the leading flanks of the sprocket teeth, while the return sprocket engages the forked links only with the trailing flanks of the sprocket teeth.
