A plate link chain for a continuously variable transmission having cone pulleys includes a plurality of plates arranged transverse to a wrap-around direction of the plate link chain, a rocker pin and a securing element. The rocker pin extends transverse to the wrap-around direction, connects the plurality of plates to one another, and is arranged to absorb a force applied by the cone pulleys. The securing element is welded onto the rocker pin, forms a stop for a one of the plurality of plates transverse to the wrap-around direction, and has a nose protruding transverse to the wrap-around direction. The nose defines a contact point between the securing element and the one of the plurality of plates.

A number of dolly assemblies are connected in series with chain linkage sections to form an endless conveyor chain for the dolly assemblies to move objects along a track. Each dolly assembly includes a link attachment and a wheel assembly supported by the link attachment. The link attachment includes a base and a body portion. The body portion presents an open-loop partially surrounding an interior and extending between a pair of ends. The ends are spaced from one another to define an opening to the interior therebetween. The pair of ends are also formed in toward the interior to partially surround a respective pocket. Each pocket is configured to receive a portion of an endlink of a respective chain linkage section therein, and each one of the formed ends functions to prevent the endlink of the respective chain linkage section from becoming unhooked from the body portion.

A chain plate includes two end segments, and an intermediate segment between the end segments. One of the end segments has an extension portion extending away from a rod hole of the end segment in a lengthwise direction. A distance from a center of the rod hole to an edge of the end segment in the lengthwise direction is greater than a distance from the center of the rod hole to an edge of the end segment in a widthwise direction. An inner surface of the chain plate has a first inclined region corresponding to a peripheral region of the end segment, and a second inclined region corresponding to the extension portion and between the first inclined region and the rod hole. The intermediate segment is formed with a recess.
