Abstract

A toothed plate for a toothed-plate plate-link chain, wherein the toothed plate includes two teeth, each having an inner flank, and an indentation between the teeth. The indentation includes a transition between a tooth flank and a curved innermost region. The transition has a convex curvature and is positioned at a junction of one of the inner flanks and the innermost region.

Claims (3)

1. A transmission having a toothed plate-link chain, said transmission comprising: at least one toothed wheel, a chain adapted for torque-transmitting engagement with the toothed wheel, wherein the chain includes at least one toothed plate having a plate body, two teeth extending from the plate body and each having an inner flank defining part of an indentation between the teeth, wherein a transition from at least one of the inner flanks to an inner region of the indentation has a convex curvature, wherein the indentation has a concave curvature with a variable radius of curvature that changes continuously.

2. A toothed plate for a toothed plate-link chain, said plate comprising: a plate body, two teeth extending from the plate body and each having an inner flank defining part of an indentation between the teeth, wherein a transition from at least one of the inner flanks to an inner region of the indentation has a transition point having a sharp edge that defines a contour break, wherein the indentation has concave curvature with a variable radius of curvature that changes continuously.

3. A toothed plate in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the inner flanks each have a convex profile.
