Abstract:
1. A carrier link of a conveyor chain intended to convey hanging product carriers comprising: two parallel walls connected by a partition wall, where the two parallel walls have a central opening, the central opening adapted to cooperate with a product carrier; a chain lock at least partially enclosed within a hollow space formed between the two parallel walls and positioned at the central opening, where the chain lock can assume an open state and a closed state, wherein the chain lock comprises two locking arms, each with a locking lug, wherein when in the closed state the locking lugs are adapted to secure the product carrier in the central opening such that the product carrier bears against the two locking lugs when the product carrier is conveyed hanging from the carrier link, and wherein the chain lock is substantially enclosed within the hollow space formed between the two parallel walls when the chain link is in the open state, and wherein the open state and the closed state are two fixed states in which the locking arms rest in an unloaded state without an spring mechanism to force the locking arms to change from one state to the other.
