Abstract
There is provided a chain apparatus made at least in part by additive manufacturing. The apparatus includes a pair of spaced-apart annular members. The apparatus includes an elongate member coupled to and extending between the annular members. At least one of the members comprises one or more self-draining internal chambers to allow for removal of residual material therefrom.
Claims23
A chain apparatus having an exterior and comprising:
- a pair of at least partially hollow, enlarged end members, each said end member having a connection aperture extending therethrough;
- and
- an at least partially hollow elongate member coupled to and extending between the end members, each said member comprising a plurality of internal chambers in fluid communication with said exterior.
A chain apparatus comprising:
- a partially hollow elongate member;
- and
- a pair of partially hollow enlarged end members coupled to and extending outwards at obtuse angles relative to the elongate member, with a first said end member coupling to and extending outwards from the elongate member at a location circumferentially spaced-apart from a second said end member, each said end member having a connection aperture extending therethrough.
A chain apparatus comprising:
- a pair of enlarged end members, each having a connection aperture extending therethrough;
- an elongate member coupled to and extending between the end members, the elongate member being hollow at least in part;
- and
- at least one support member positioned within and coupling to the elongate member, the at least one support member functioning to strengthen the elongate member, and the elongate member and the at least one support member being integrally interconnected so as to form a unitary whole.
