POWER TRANSMISSION CHAIN AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND POWER TRANSMISSION DEVICE

摘要

A power transmission chain of the invention includes: plural link plates individually including through-holes and arranged in a chain advancing direction and a chain widthwise direction and with predetermined spacing; and plural pins inserted through the through-holes for flexibly interconnecting the link plates. Since the link plates are arranged in the chain widthwise direction with the predetermined spacing, a respective pair of adjoining link plates are prevented from coming into friction contact with each other during the operation of the power transmission chain. Hence, the power transmission chain may be prevented from suffering the decrease of power transmission efficiency.
