A method of limiting articulation of a chain joint in a chain assembly using plurality of chain plates. The chain plates prevent articulation of the chain assembly in one direction. The chain plates, as an example, include a neck portion and a body portion. The neck portion has a width less than a width between a pair of first side bars. The first side bars have end portions mounted on a chain barrel. The neck portion is attached to the first side bars. Also, a pair of second side bars are mounted on the chain barrel. The body portion of the chain plate has a width greater than a width between the second side bars. The body portion rest on top of a portion of the second side bars and prevents joint articulation of the second side bars in one direction during the movement of the chain assembly.
A method for limiting articulation of a chain joint in a chain assembly, the chain assembly having a wedge shaped chain plate with a neck portion and a body portion, the chain assembly having a pair of spaced apart, first side bars mounted on a chain barrel and a pair of spaced apart, second side bars mounted on the chain barrel, the steps including:
