2. A security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link comprises:

a central member having first and second ends, the central member being formed by a hollow elongated tube with openings at the first and second ends, the hollow elongated tube having a generally circular cross section; and

first and second connector members are each welded across a separate one of the opening providing a high strength security chain suitable for anti-theft applications, the first and second connector members each have a generally U-shape with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs are each welded within a separate one of a plurality of cutouts in the central member.

3. A high strength security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link comprises:

a central member having first and second ends formed by a hollow elongated tube having openings at the first and second ends; and

first and second connector members each welded across a separate one of the openings, each of the first and second connectors having a generally U-shape with first and second legs each welded to the central tube, wherein the first and second legs are welded to an inner surface of the central member.

4. The security chain of claim 3 , wherein the hollow elongated tube is curved such that the hollow elongated tube generally defines an arc between the first and second connector members.

5. A high strength security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link comprises:

a central member having first and second ends formed by a hollow elongated tube having openings at the first and second ends; and

first and second connector members each welded across a separate one of the openings, each of the first and second connectors having a generally U-shape with first and second legs each welded to the central tube, wherein the hollow elongated tube includes a plurality of cutouts, the first and second legs each being welded within a separate one of a plurality of cutouts.

6. A security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link comprises:

an elongated central member formed by a single solid rod having an outer surface; and

first and second connector members each disposed on a separate end of the elongated central member, each of the first and second connector members being formed by a three aided, rectilinear, generally U-shaped member formed of rectangular tubing having first and second ends, the first and second ends being welded to opposite sides of the outer surface of the elongated central member.

7. The security chain of claim 6 , wherein the elongated central member has a generally square cross section.

8. The security chain of claim 7 , wherein the first and second connector members lie in first and second planes, respectively, the first and second planes being oriented generally perpendicularly to each other.

9. The security chain of claim 8 , wherein the elongated central member is curved such that the elongated central member generally defines an arc between the first and second connector members.

10. A security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link comprises:

an elongated central member formed by a single solid rod having an outer surface;

first and second connector members each disposed on a separate end of the elongated central member, the first connector member being formed by a three sided, rectilinear, generally U-shaped member formed of rectangular tubing having first and second ends, the first and second ends being welded to opposite sides of the outer surface of the elongated central member, the second connector member being formed by an enlarged ring; and

wherein the first and second connector members lie in first and second planes, respectively, the first and second planes being oriented generally perpendicularly to each other.

11. The security chain of claim 10 , wherein the elongated central member has a generally square cross section.

12. The security chain of claim 10 , wherein the elongated central member is curved such that the elongated central member generally defines an arc between the first and second connector members.

13. A security chain, comprising:

a plurality of links interconnected, wherein each link is formed by:

an elongated central member having first and second ends; and

first and second connector members disposed on first and second ends of the elongated central member, respectively, the first and second connector members each being formed by a generally annular ring formed of rectangular tubing.

14. The security chain of claim 13 , wherein the first and second connector members lie in first and second planes, respectively, the first and second planes being oriented generally perpendicularly to each other.

15. The security chain of claim 14 , wherein the elongated central member is curved such that the elongated central member generally defines an arc between the first and second connector members.
