ABSTRACT:
An improved connecting link for a mining chain includes two half links and means for fastening them together. Each half link has a laterally extending bore for receiving the link pin at one end of the chain. At least one of the half links has a laterally extending wedge-shaped projection pointed toward the other half link, while the other half link has a mating recess with inclined walls corresponding to converging walls of the wedge-shaped projection. When assembled, the projection of the one half link snugly engages the recess of the other half link such that the pulling forces in the chain are transmitted directly from one half link to the other rather than through the fastening means. The fastening means can be removed even when the chain is operated between adjacent chains.
