Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] FIG. 1 shows drawing of the background art. The recessions and protrusions forming the linkage between link are rigid and inhibit flexibility in the free movement of the chain. Further the surfaces have a flatness which provides a greater surface area for contact with a wearer's skin.

[0011] FIGS. 2 and 3 shows the curvature of the chain links according to the present invention. The curvatures allow for smooth movement and minimum contact with the wearer's skin.

[0012] FIG. 4 shows another aspect of the chain link of the present invention.

[0013] FIGS. 5, 6, and 7 shows additional views of the chain link according to the present invention.
