1. An endless filter chain or the filtering of liquid with the object of removing solid objects from the liquid and comprising strainer elements and connecting links,wherein each strainer element extends in the conveyor direction of the chain and is delimited by two mutually parallel edges designated leading edge and trailing edge, respectively, and by two lateral edges extending perpendicularly to the leading edge and the trailing edge,wherein two successively arranged strainer elements are connected by means of one or more connecting links embedded substantially completely within the width of said strainer elements,each connecting link comprising pivot means having two parallel, spaced trunnions defining two parallel, spaced pivot axes which are perpendicular to the conveyor direction of the filter chain, whereby said connecting link may link together two successively arranged strainer elements with freedom for each strainer element to pivot relative to adjacent connecting links about a respective one of said pivot axes parallel with the leading edge and the trailing edge, the leading edge and the trailing edge on each strainer element comprising cylindrical tubes so that a small clearance with approximately unchanged width is maintained between the leading edge of a strainer element and the adjacent trailing edge on the immediately preceding strainer element.
