A conveyor chain (10) for conveying articles is proposed. The chain includes a sequence of links (20), each link defining a support surface (42, 130) for the articles to be conveyed. Each link is hinged to a preceding link in the chain by means of a pin (80) having a first axis and is pivotable with respect to the preceding link by means of a sleeve (90) having a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. Said sleeve is coaxially rotatable with respect to a gudgeon (100) which is coaxial to the second axis and crossed by the pin. Said gudgeon is coupled with a plate-like element (120) adapted to be hold into a seat (47) of the link in such a way to be flush with said support surface. The shape of the plate-like elements and the coupling thereof with the respective gudgeons is such that the plate-like element associated with a link extends to cover the gudgeon of the subsequent link in the chain when the chain configuration is substantially planar.
