The invention provided for a conveyor belt wherein chain links are assembled such that eye parts are inserted into the intervals between two eye parts in the opposite chain link, whereafter the transverse rod according to the invention is inserted from one side of the conveyor belt through the overlapping openings in both chain links. When the notches provided on the transverse rod adjacent the head portion come into contact with the end face of the chain link, i.e. the side of the chain link, the notches can be brought into engagement with slits provided in the outmost chain link by twisting the head portion and pushing it into the end portion of the chain link. When the notches are engaged in the slits the transverse rod is fixated such that it will not move sideward in relation to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt.
Locking arrangement for releasably locking a transverse rod to a chain link in a conveyor belt, where the conveyor belt is built from a number of more or less identical chain links, wherein each link possesses openings such that each chain link may be joined to a neighboring link in a hinge like manner by inserting said transverse rod, and wherein each chain link superposed with an opening is provided with at least one slit oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the transverse rod;
