A forming device for forming links in the shape of a Möbius strip includes a rotation module with an inner path. The forming device has a widening for 180° rotation of a strip introduced into the rotation module. The rotation module has an inlet suitable for one end of a strip, an outlet suitable for the strip and the inner path extends from the inlet to the outlet. The widening is adapted for rotation of the end of the strip 180° about its longitudinal axis. The device also includes a gas injector positioned at the inlet of the rotation module intended to drive the strip through the inner path of the rotation module.

An anchor point comprising a connecting means for connecting the anchor point to an object to be fixed and/or handled, with an eyelet bend connected to a base body and a connecting eyelet hooked into the eyelet bend for connecting an anchoring or lashing means. The connecting eyelet has a smaller radius in its bend hooked into the eyelet bend than in its other bend, and carries two dividing elements opposite one another with respect to their longitudinal axis projecting into the interior space enclosed by the connecting eyelet. The connecting eyelet carries a projecting movement limiting stop with respect to its central fiber opposite the dividing elements, in each case on the outside for limiting the depth of immersion of the connecting eyelet in the eyelet bend together with the dividing elements which project on the inside and are likewise designed as movement limiting stops. Due to the movement limiting stops, the maximum diameter of the section of the connecting eye carrying the movement limiting stops is greater than the clear width of the eyelet bend, wherein the contour forming the movement limiting stops is shaped so that there is essentially only line contact between the movement limiting stops and the eyelet bend in the stop arrangement.

The invention relates to the field of anchor chains, and more particularly an anchor chain (1) comprising a first plurality of links (3) and, at the end of the chain, a second plurality of links (4) comprising at least three successive links (4) in each of which at least one property selected from its bar diameter and the elastic limit of its material is substantially greater than in each of the links (3) of the first plurality, in order to improve the ability of the chain to withstand fatigue by bending of the links (4) in the second plurality.

A chain includes a plurality of interconnected chain links, wherein at least one of the chain links comprises a Turk's head braided core having at least two consecutive turns of at least one primary strand. The at least one primary strand includes polymeric elongated elements having a tenacity of at least 1.0 N/tex.

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 support and guiding apparatus for feeder lines having a feed pipe for excavation devices is disclosed. The apparatus has a support branch and a plurality of crosspieces connected with the support branch which includes ring chain having a first and a second series of rings linked to one another in an alternate manner, defining a longitudinal axis (X); a plurality of spacer elements coupled to rings of the first series of rings so that they cannot slide. Each of the spacer elements has a seat that houses a ring of the first series of rings by orienting it in a substantially stable manner on a first lying plane, a second seat and a third seat opposite to each other that partially house the rings of the second series of rings linked to the one housed in the first seat by orienting them on a second lying plane transverse to the first lying plane, each of said spacer elements being arranged to prevent the longitudinal sliding between the rings and to allow the rotation of the rings of the second series of rings only on the second lying plane around a rotation axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the chain and to the second lying plane.

A drive chain (2a, 2b) for a chain drive comprises a plurality of chain links (10, 20) and joints (30) respectively connecting two of the chain links (10, 20) forming the drive chain (2a, 2b). The drive chain (2a, 2b) further comprises a plurality of carrier elements (40), each of said carrier elements (40) being linked to one of the chain links (10, 20) or joints (30) and supporting at least two support/engagement elements (43, 44), which are configured for supporting the drive chain (2a, 2b) and/or for engagement with an appropriate turnaround element (50; 90) for driving the drive chain (2a, 2b).
