Chain link for continuous chain, has two chain connecting sections opposite to each in course direction and reinforcement element connected to chain connecting sections

摘要

The chain link (1) has two chain connecting sections opposite to each in a course direction and a reinforcement element connected to the chain connecting sections. The chain link is made from plastic. The reinforcement element is formed as a closed circulating loop (3). The two chain connecting sections (5a,5b) of the chain link are entangled by the loop. The loop is made from a fiber base element, which has a circulating fiber strand, a circulating woven fabric, a circulating knit-fabric or a circulating non-woven fabric, particularly glass fiber, carbon fiber, polymer fiber or metal fiber. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for manufacturing chain link; and (2) a continuous chain with an outer link.
