权利要求
1. An endless flight conveyor movable through a closed orbital path comprising: a plurality of conveying members spaced along said orbital path and extending transversely outwardly therefrom: a serial plurality of links extending between each two adjacent ones of said conveying members and along said path; at least some of said pluralities of links including a majority of first links and at least one other link; each of said some of said pluralities of links having sequential ones of said first links connected to each other and to said adjacent ones of said conveying members to pivotally move relative to each other only about axes extending generally in the same transverse direction as said conveying members; each of said other links being pivotally connected between two of said first links to pivotally move relative to said two of said first links cooperable therewith about axes extending substantially in the same transverse direction as said conveying member, and each of said other links having portions connected to each other to pivot about axes extending transversely outwardly from a portion of said path adjacent thereto and transversely of said first mentioned axes.
2. A conveyor chain as specified in claim 1 wherein each of said pluralities of links include a majority of said first links and at least one of said other links.
3. A conveyor chain as specified in claim 1 wherein each of said some of said pluralities of links includes only one of said other links.
4. A conveyor chain as specified in claim 1 wherein each of said some of said pluralities of links includes at least two of said other links.
5. A conveyor chain as specified in claim 2 wherein each of said pluralities of links includes only one of said other links.
6. A conveyor chain as specified in claim 2 wherein each of said pluralities of links includes at least two of said other links.
