Articulated chain with sleeve joints arranged at an angle

An articulated chain with alternating inner chain links and outer chain links which are each connected to each other by means of a chain joint,

• each outer chain link comprises at least two outer link plates and two chain studs connecting them to each other, and
• each inner chain link comprises at least two inner link plates and two joint sleeves connecting the inner link plates to each other, the two joint sleeves forming a chain joint, wherein one chain stud of the adjacent outer chain links each extends through one joint sleeve of the inner chain link, and
• wherein the joint sleeves of the inner chain links are embodied as winding sleeves having a sleeve joint and are firmly connected to the inner link plates, wherein the sleeve joints of the two winding sleeves are positioned on the same side of a link plate's longitudinal axis and face each other, the sleeve joints are arranged at a distance to the link plate's longitudinal axis and at a distance to an upper apex or to a lower inflection point of the winding sleeve, wherein upper apex and lower inflection point are perpendicular to the centre, and wherein a quarter angle sector of the winding sleeve between the inner point of intersection with the link plate's longitudinal axis and the upper apex or the lower inflection point is subdivided into three sectors of approximately the same size each, and the sleeve joints of the two winding sleeves are arranged in a central sector.
