发明名称 Thermoforming Chain Rail Having Compact Anti-Torque Chain Support
摘要 A thermoformable web chain rail assembly is provided having a chain and a chain rail. The chain has a series of alternating and interconnected roller links and pin links. The pin links include at least one pin extending through an adjacent one of the roller links and the pin links. A terminal portion of the pin extends beyond the roller link and the pin link with a roller affixed for rotation about the terminal portion of the pin for each of the at least one pins. The chain rail has an upper conveying raceway and a lower return raceway. The upper raceway includes a first linear guide surface provided beneath the first roller of each chain link and a second linear guide surface provided above the second roller of each chain link.
