[FTC]: Folding Chain Mechanism

Hi,
I have been trying to conceptually figure this out, but I have been having much trouble. Does anyone know if it is possible to create a folding chain mechanism? Something where it would be two layers of a conveyor-belt type mechanism where one was intially folded over the other, then the expand to form one long mechanism?

It seems to be that this is impossible because if it was one long chain, then the tightness of the chain would have to be changed. And also, it seems impossible to me to make to seperate mechanisms that fold together and then work in unison.

Anyway, someone let me know about this. Thanks!
