A bicycle chain consists of two parallell lines of oblong parts, called inner and outer plates. At each end of each plate there's a hole. One pair of inner plates and one pair of outer plates are stacked so that they overlap at one end, and a rivet is driven through the stack.
The rivet is a snug fit to the outer plates, but a loose fit to the inner plate. This allows the chain to move, in one direction, with the rivet acting as a hinge. Then you add another set and repeat the process.
