ABSTRACT:
An endless power transmission chain includes link assemblies made up of spaced apart cylindrical pins connected at their opposite ends to parallel outer link plates. Spaced apart inner link plates interconnect the link assemblies and are provided with self-lubricating bearings for journalling the interconnected pins to provide a flexible chain assembly. Chain rollers or bushings of polyurethane or similar resilient non-metal material are rotatably mounted on the link pins between the inner link plates and are directly engageable with the chain sprocket teeth for deflection to provide distribution of chain load over a greater surface area of the sprocket teeth as well as between adjacent teeth engaged with the chain. The chain includes centrally mounted bracket members secured to the link pins for connecting the chain to a series of spaced apart foils or blades for a fluid dynamic power generating apparatus using a translating foil or blade system.
