ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a conveyor chain with a plurality of chain rollers, for conveying individual items or similar material handling applications, in which respectively two chain rollers are arranged coaxially at a predetermined distance with respect to one another on a common chain pin in such a way so as to be able to rotate, whereby side bars laterally arranged on the chain pins are used to connect respective sequentially arranged chain rollers, and the individual chain components are adapted to form an endless chain. The chain also includes conveyor rollers on those chain pins which are respectively arranged between two adjacent chain rollers of the chain, and these conveyor rollers have a larger diameter than the chain rollers. Recess-like depressions which are formed between two adjacent conveyor rollers in the chain are filled by bridge-forming space members which are secured on the respective chain pins, or on sleeves. Each space member is made of two components, with the two space member components being arranged in joint-like relation. Respective space member components on the upper side form a bridge part, and crosspieces branch forwardly therefrom in the direction towards the other space member component as well as downwardly into the recess-like depression. The crosspieces of two cooperating space member components engage one another in a manner such as gear teeth meshing in a gear wheel arrangement.
