Improvements in Belting, and in the Method of Manufacturing such
Belting.
A communication to me from OSKAR E. HERKNER, of Freiberg, (Saxony), in the
Empire of Germany, Dentist.
I, EDMUND EDWARDS, of the Firm of Edwards and Co., Chartered Patent Agents
and Engineers, of 65 and 66, Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The present invention has for its object a new or improved artificial leather
belting, which is cheaper than ordinary leather belting, whilst equally serviceable.
The improved belting consists of a suitable strong felted webbing, which is
placed in a mixture of glue, wax, oil, turpentine and alcohol (the proportions of
which may be varied), at a temperature of about 80° Centigrade, and is left
therein, until it is entirely impregnated with the mixture. It is then pressed by
passing it between rollers, and is finally varnished and lacquered.
The belting thus made resembles ordinary leather belting, and is as strong as
the latter, and less liable to stretch.
