A conveyor (111) intended for travel along an intended direction on a given path and having laterally spaced and opposed sides (21,23) comprises a chain pin (25), a first link module (27) including a first plurality of laterally spaced eyes (31) which respectively have therein aligned first bores (33) receiving the chain pin, and which define a series of spaces, and a second link module (29) including a second plurality of laterally spaced eyes (41) which respectively have therein aligned second bores (43) receiving the chain pin (25) to prevent disconnection of the first and second modules, and which are received in the spaces between the first plurality of eyes so as to engage the first plurality of eyes in such manner as to directly transmit tension in the direction of conveyor movement between the first and second link modules (27,29) at laterally spaced multiple places between the conveyor sides (21,23). <IMAGE> |
