PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pegs or Fastenings for Securing Together Parts of
Leather, Rubber, Canvas, Cardboard, or other Flexible Material,
or Combination of Materials, other than what is employed in
the Manufacture of Coverings for the Feet.
I, THOMAS GARE, of the Gare Machine Co. Ltd., of Hopes Carr, Stockport, in
the County of Chester, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
This invention has for its object to produce a fastening which is of general
applicability in the manufacture of belting, hose-piping, saddlery, or in securing
together other parts of leather, rubber, canvas cardboard or other flexible material
or combination of materials other than what is employed in the manufacture of
coverings for the feet, and which fastening is much more secure, durable, lighter,
flexible and in the long run cheaper.
To this end the improvements consist in the use and application for the said
purposes of a fastening made of cane in the form of pegs, inserted either by hand
or machine.
These cane pegs may be formed in suitable lengths from either split or unsplit
cane, which owing to its natural shape facilitates a simpler production of pegs and
owing to its long fibres and toughness combines flexibility and strength in the peg
and render the same not liable to shrink or swell through climatic influence.
The said pegs I preferably cement into their holes, the porousness of the cane
greatly assisting such operation, and increases the preservation of the peg.
Dated this 2nd day of November 1892.
