PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Finishing Treatment of Belting.
I FRANK REDDAWAY of Cheltenham Street, Pendleton, in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer of Machine Belting, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the treatment of woven belting and of belting made of
woven material. Previously to my invention such belting has been painted with
ordinary oil paint. The object of my invention is to obtain a better surface and
finish and to increase the durability of the belting. I prepare a composition or
coating material by boiling linseed oil alone or in company with other matters until
it is inspissated that is to say until it is rendered viscid. I prefer to mix animal or
vegetable substances with the oil at a suitable stage in the treatment as for example
I incorporate with the oil either during or subsequently to the boiling operation
such substances as cork dust ground or comminuted leather wood pulp or flock.
Suitable colouring matter may also be added to the composition if desired.
When the composition has been reduced by the continued application of heat
to the condition of a viscid mass of the consistency of a stiff jelly it is spread
upon the belting with the aid of rollers. The belting is passed between rollers
which are heavily loaded and the composition is applied to the belting the rollers
spreading it over the surface of the belting and pressing it into the interstices so
as to produce a smooth or nearly smooth surface.. I prefer to first coat the edges
of the belting either with the same composition or with a suitable edging com-.
position and to allow such composition to dry or harden. I then coat the two
faces of the belting the hard edges acting to some extent to gauge the thickness of
the coating upon the faces of the belting. The belting is then stored or hung up
to age.
If considered to be desirable a second coating may be applied the same or
a similar composition or a coloured composition being used or the belting may be
finished by being painted in the ordinary manner.

Improvements in the Finishing Treatment of Belting.
I FRANK REDDAWAY of Cheltenham Street, Pendleton, in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer of Machine Belting, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement that is to say :-
My invention relates to the treatment of woven belting and of belting made of
woven material. Previously to my invention such belting has been painted with
ordinary oil paint. The object of my invention is to obtain a better surface and
finish and to increase the durability of the belting. I prepare a composition or
coating material by boiling linseed or other drying oil aloue or in company with
other matters until it is inspissated that is to say until it is rendered viscid.
I prefer to mix animal or vegetable substances with the oil at a suitable stage
in the treatment as for example I incorporate with the oil either during or
subsequently to the boiling operation such substances as cork dust ground or
comminuted leather, wood pulp, flock, hemp, flax or other fibrous material in a
state of subdivision or other suitable animal or vegetable substance or material.
Suitable colouring matter may also be added to the composition if desired.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is.
(1). The method of treating or finishing woven belting substantially as set forth.
(2). Treating woven belting with a compound of boiled inspissated drying oil
and cork dust ground leather, wood pulp, flock or similar animal or vegetable
substantially as set forth.
(3). In the finishing of woven belting combining boiled inspissated drying oil
with such animal or vegetable substances as herein indicated in fine subdivision and
applying the mixture to the belting with the aid of pressure rollers substantially as
set forth.
(4). In the finishing of woven belting coating the belting with a preparation of
viscid inspissated boiled drying oil and forcing such preparation into the interstices
of the belting with the aid of pressure rollers.
