<p>An apparatus for gripping a chain comprises a body (12) which allows passage of the chain (1). The body has first and second chain gripping devices (20), both adapted to grip the chain to restrict or prevent movement of the chain relative to the body (12). These first and second gripping devices (20) are arranged in the body (12) in respective first and second angular orientations which are offset with respect to one another, whereby the first and second chain grippingdevices (20) are adapted to grip respective links of the chain having different angular orientations. An associated method is also described.</p> |
