<p>The disclosure relates to an improved chain hawse (4) having a radius of curvature (p) such that the interlink angle (x) is not more than 15°, preferably not more than 11°. According to one embodiment, the chain hawse (4) comprises an internal support element (11), on which the chain links (7, 8) are supported by two ridges (16, 17) that are relatively narrow and that are placed close together. Hereby the chain links (7, 8) are supported along their short sides near their points of interconnection and long side bending is prevented. According to another preferred embodiment, a support element (30) comprises a wedge-shaped structure with two slanting surfaces (31, 32) along which the planes of adjacent chain links (33, 34) are supported such that bending fatigue problems are mitigated.</p> |
