Abstract

The present invention provides an interlocking chain (110) capable of withstanding high localized tensile loads, reducing frictional losses and engagement noise, improving operational safety, and extending service life. The chain includes a pair of reciprocally driven inner and outer chain members (120, 130) that engage with each other to unite. The connecting pins (125) of the inner chain member are spaced apart by a first distance (P1), and the connecting pins (135) of the outer chain member are spaced apart by a second distance (P2), the first distance being smaller than the second distance. At least one of the inner chain member and the outer chain member includes specific pairs of link plates (122,132) whose combined plate thickness measured in the chain width direction is smaller in an interlocking portion (111) than a combined plate thickness measured in the chain width direction in a connecting portion (115).
