I'm designing this frame which will move back and forth on a static chain (illustrated in black). What is the component called that you attach to the end of the chain for further attachment to (for instance) that L-profile at the right?
I can't for the life of me figure out what it's called (being Norwegian), and "chain fastener" never give me any good search results. I work in NX6, so if someone could direct me to a CAD-library that has these things in STEP-format, I'd be forever grateful:)

Best regards

Haha, I'd never have been able to find that one out by myself:p

Thanks a lot!
