摘要

A chain making plant for the manufacture of two chains at a time by means of a series of operating stations arranged along a substantially straight course. Two conveyor units are provided, each of which successively presents a depending portion of one chain to the operating stations. Each of the conveyor units comprises a carriage running on a track extending along the course and a transverse chain conveyor supported by said carriage. A stationary supporting structure is provided outside of the middle portion of each of the tracks, said structure including a chain wheel arranged at such height and such a transverse distance with respect to the discharge end of the transverse chain conveyor as to allow a sagging portion of the chain supported at one end by the discharge end of the transverse chain conveyor and at the other end by said chain wheel to turn freely about said chain wheel.
