ABSTRACT:
A power transmission chain is formed of a plurality of randomly oriented s of links. Pivot means connect adjacent sets of links by fitting into a pair of apertures in the links. Each of the links of the chain has a pair of toes separated by a crotch. Each of the toes is defined by an outside flank and an inside flank. The links of the chain are asymmetrical in configuration with some links being oriented in a first direction and other links being oriented in the opposite direction. The asymmetrical form includes a first toe having an inside flank of a first configuration and a second toe having an inside flank of a different configuration. The first configuration includes either a substantially straight surface or a surface of a different configuration.
