DEFINITION

Classification: 198/730

(under subclass 728) Apparatus wherein the closed-loop assemblage comprises a plurality of connected segments, each segment including: a) a portion thereof that serves as a means for engaging and moving a load, and b) a portion thereof that serves to hold the means in load-moving position, and c) a portion thereof that serves to connect each segment with its preceding and its succeeding segment, and each segment being formed as a single unit.

(1) Note. Each segment may be formed by shaping a single blank, or by permanently assembling a number of pieces into a single unitary assemblage (as by welding, bolting, rewetting,

etc.), provided that each segment can be connected to its preceding and its succeeding segment without the use of additional interconnecting elements.
