Abstract:
A conveyor drive chain is equipped with pads of a high friction, resilient material. Each pad has a body secured to and overlying one link of the chain and has an extension at each end overlying the adjacent chain link. The extensions are wedge shaped, lengthwise of the chain, having one side face extending at an angle to the axis of the chain whereby the extension portions of two adjacent pads are seated side-by-side with the line of separation between them laterally inclined across the chain.
