Chain belt with two parallel chains having means for inhibiting relative movements of the chains

Year	Description
1994	Invention patented by Shigeru Okuwaki and Yukio Tomimura on April 7th, 1994. Abstract: A power transmission chain belt wherein sets of parallel links each including at least inner link plates are connected by pivot members to form each of at least two chains arranged in side-by-side parallel relationship with each other with a relative longitudinal offset distance, each pivot member having a first pin and a second pin which rolls on the first pin and whose rotation is prevented. The first and second pins extend through at least the inner link plates, and one of the first and second pins extends, preferably, the second pin, also through an outer link plate of each chain. The chain belt incorporates a mechanism which is associated with the end portion of the above-indicated one of the first and second pins, for inhibiting longitudinal relative movement of the chains.
