Abstract:
An injection molded plastic chain module comprising a substantially elongate conveying body and a hinge structure located at a bottom side of the module for hingedly connecting a front and a rear side of the module with adjacent modules. The conveying body comprises two wing shaped portions extending laterally away from the hinge structure, and comprising a respective top plate portion that defines a part of a supporting surface for supporting products to be transported, wherein each of said top plate portions has a thickness of less than ⅓ of the total thickness of the respective wing shaped portion. Further, each wing shaped portion comprises one or more downwardly extending supporting wall portions for supporting the respective top plate portion. The module may merely consist of a plurality of relatively thin plate and/or wall portions, preferably all having a substantially equal thickness.

Claim (Index 1):
An injection molded plastic chain module for a modular conveyor chain, comprising: a substantially elongate conveying body defining a supporting surface for supporting products to be transported on said conveying body, and a hinge structure for hingedly connecting the plastic chain module with other modules, wherein the hinge structure is located at a lower side of the plastic chain module, wherein the hinge structure comprises a first hinge structure portion, especially a hinge structure front portion located at the leading side of the module, which first hinge structure portion defines a first hinge pin receiving space for receiving a hinge pin, wherein the hinge structure further comprises a second hinge structure portion and a third hinge structure portion, especially two hinge structure rear portions located at the trailing side of the module, wherein said second and third hinge structure portions define a second hinge pin receiving space and a third hinge pin receiving space, respectively, wherein said second and third hinge structure portions are interspaced to receive a first hinge structure portion, especially a hinge structure front portion, of a consecutive chain module there between, wherein the substantially elongate conveying body comprises a central portion, wherein the substantially elongate conveying body further comprises two wing shaped portions substantially extending away from said central portion in a respective lateral direction, wherein bottom sides of said wing shaped portions are arranged to be supported by a guide track, wherein each of both wing shaped portions comprises a respective top plate portion defining a part of the supporting surface for supporting products to be transported, each of said top plate portions having a thickness being less than \u2153 of the thickness of the respective wing shaped portion, and in that each wing shaped portion further comprises one or more supporting wall portions for supporting the respective top plate portion, wherein the supporting wall portions extend substantially downwards from the respective top plate portion.
