ABSTRACT:
An endless chain for an apparatus which carries a plurality of articles to be treated around one or more article-treating drums, the chain and articles being continuously in motion. The chain is formed of a plurality of serially connected links which are joined to each other by pivotal connections, the axes of the pivotal connections being parallel to each other and parallel to the axes of the drums around which the chain travels. Each link has at least one cavity therein which receives the product to be treated, the cavity being of such shape that the product can be introduced thereinto and removed therefrom in a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the axes of the pivotal connecting means for the respective link. The chain travels upon a fixed guide upon which it slides, such fixed guide guiding the links laterally, the chain travelling between parallel fixed guides which prevent the escape of the articles from the cavities except at points where at least one of such latter guides is interrupted. The chain carries driving means which mesh with one or more sprockets mounted to turn about axes fixed with respect to the chain. The sprockets may be affixed to the article-treating drums coaxially thereof.
