A chain link (12) for a laterally flexible conveyor chain (2) has a first and a second row of mutually parallel eye parts (13, 15) extending in transverse direction and having shaft openings (14 and 16, respectively) for the shafts (20) by which the chain (2) is assembled. The eye parts (13, 15) in each row are positioned with a mutual spacing in transverse direction which is greater than their width, and each of them is connected with the two most adjacent eye parts in the second row by means of two connecting members (17), which together form a V and each of which has a longitudinal slot (18) extending from the respective shaft opening and having the same height as said opening. Lateral projections (21, 22, 23) are provided on both sides of at least some of the eye parts (13, 15) in each row, said lateral projections extending within a region which is defined by the planes formed by the flush upper and lower sides, respectively, of the slots (18). Each of these lateral projections (21, 22, 23) has such an extent in transverse direction that it will be disposed at least in the vicinity of the opposed lateral projection on the adjacent eye part positioned on the same side of the common shaft (20), when the respective chain links (12) are in mounted position in a substantially stretched and straight conveyor chain (2). |
