PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Manufacture of Adhesive Material for use on Driving Belts.
We, CARL GUSTAV THOENES and FRIEDRICH AUGUST THOENES, both of
Meissenerstrasse 81, Dresden, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
:―
For the purpose of preventing belts used for driving machinery from slipping off
the belt pulleys, and also for increasing the tractive force of the belts, adhesive fats
or materials have been used containing adhesive and resinous constituents.
These fats or materials have heretofore been exclusively sold and kept in sheet
metal boxes, barrels or other receptacles and their removal from such receptacles is
unpleasant, and in winter very disagreeable and also tedious on account of the
hardening of the material. Furthermore some of the material is always unavoid-
ably left behind in the receptacles and consequently lost, whilst the sheet metal
boxes which after the removal of the adhesive material therefrom are valueless, add
to the cost of such material.
Now this invention relates to the manufacture of adhesive material or fat (herein-
after called adhesive material) for the purpose mentioned in such a manner as to
obviate the foregoing drawbacks and to enable the adhesive material to be
completely utilized. To this end we employ an extremely durable adhesive
material of suitable consistency which is brought by casting, moulding or pressing
into a form in which it can be easily handled and applied to the belts, as for
example into the form of sticks or bars, having a round, oval, rectangular or
polygonal or other suitable form in cross section.
Furthermore for the sake of greater cleanliness and to avoid loss by the crumbling
away of pieces of the material, these sticks or bars are wrapped over part of their
length with sheet material such as tinfoil. Sticks or bars of adhesive material thus
made can be conveniently held in the hand and so that the end which is free from
tin foil can be readily applied to the inner side of the driving belt with relation
to the belt pulley and so that practically the whole of the adhesive material can
be utilized.

We, CARL GUSTAV THOENES and FRIEDRICH AUGUST THOENES, both of
Meissenerstrasse 81, Dresden, Manufacturers, 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 :-
For the purpose of preventing belts used for driving machinery from slipping off
the belt pulleys, and also for increasing the tractive force of the belts, adhesive fats
or materials have been used containing adhesive and resinous constituents.
These fats or materials have heretofore been exclusively sold and kept in sheet

ably left in the receptacles and consequently lost, whilst the sheet metal boxes
which, after the removal of the adhesive material therefrom, are valueless, add to
the cost of such material.
Now this invention relates to the manufacture of adhesive material or fat (herein-
after called adhesive material) for the purpose mentioned in such a manner as to
obviate the foregoing drawbacks and to enable the adhesive material to be
completely utilized. To this end we employ any durable adhesive material of
suitable consistency which is brought by casting, moulding or pressing into a form
in which it can be easily handled and applied to the belts, as for example into the
form of sticks or bars having a round, oval, rectangular, polygonal or other suitable
form in cross section. The adhesive material may advantageously consist of linseed
oil boiled with litharge to which may be added wax or ozokerite for the purpose
of making the same elastic.
Furthermore for the sake of greater cleanliness, and to avoid loss by the
crumbling away of pieces of the material, these sticks or bars are wrapped over
part of their length with sheet material such as tin-foil. Sticks or bars of adhesive
material thus made can be conveniently held in the hand so that the end which is
free from tin foil can be readily applied to the inner side of the driving belt with
relation to the belt pulley, and so that practically the whole of the adhesive material
can be utilized.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
The herein described manufacture of adhesive material for use on driving belts,
by casting, moulding or pressing material of the kind referred to into a form in
which it can be easily handled and applied, as for example into the form of sticks
or bars of suitable cross section, whether or not such sticks or bars be partly
covered with tin foil for the purpose specified.
