Improvements in the Construction of Belting for Machinery, and in
Attachments for the same.
I THOMAS CUDLIPP Manufacturer of Laundry machinery of 8 Church Street,
Edgeware Road, in the county of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of the said
Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF BELTING FOR MACHINERY
AND IN ATTACHMENTS FOR THE SAME :-
"
My improved belting is constructed wholly of metal, such as iron, copper, and
preferably steel, cut or otherwise formed into strips or bands of various widths as
may be desired, the ends of the belts being united by one of the following methods,
which are given merely as examples as many others producing equivalent results
may be advantageously employed.
1. The ends of the belting to be united may be furnished with slots into which flat
metal hooks are passed, the hooked ends being afterwards hammered down.
2. The ends of the belt where the connection is to be made are bent outwards, and
a wire frame of parallelogram form is passed over the upturned ends of the belt, these
ends are then hammered down.
3. The ends are connected by a hinge rivetted to them, or they may be formed
into a hinge themselves.
4. The ends are provided with slots interlaced through which, is a flat metal ban
whose ends when the strip is in situ, are beaton down.
5. Round metal books of elongated form are passed through holes made in the
ends of the belt, and then knocked down.
6. The ends of the belt are lapped one over the other, and are then laced together
by passing wiro through holes made in the belt, or the ends may be rivetted together
through these holes.
7. The ends of the belt are united by a fish plato, rivetted to the belt.
S. Slots are made in the ends of the belt, which are lapped one over the other, and
are united by studs passed through the slots. When inserted in these openings, half
a turn is given to the studs and the ends are fixed.

I THOMAS CUDLIPP, Manufacturer of Laundry machinery of 8 Church Street
Edgware Road in the county of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of the said
invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF BELTING FOR MACHINERY
AND IN ATTACHMENTS FOR THE SAME, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My improved belting is constructed wholly of metal such as iron, copper and
preferably steel cut or otherwise formed into strips or bands of various widths as
may be desired, the ends of the belts being united by one of the following methods
which are given merely as examples as many others producing equivalent results may
be advantageously employed.
1st. The ends of the belting to be united, may be furnished with slots a. into which

page_text: flat metal hooks b. are passed, the hooked ends c. being afterwards hammered down
vide Fig. 1.
2nd. The ends d. of the helt where the connection is to be made are bent outwards
and a wire frame e. of parallelogram form is passed over the upturned ends of the
belt, the ends are then hammered down as in Fig. 2.
3rd. The ends are connected by a hinge
into a hinge themselves see Figs. 3 and 4.
rivetted to them, or they may be formed
4th. The ends are provided with slots interlaced through which is a flat metal band g.
whose ends when the strip is in situ are beaten down vide Fig. 5.
5th. Round metal hooks . of elongated form are passed through holes made in the
ends of the belt and then knocked down as in Fig. 6.
6th. The ends of the belt are lapped one over the other and are then laced together
by passing wire through holes made in the belt or the ends may be rivetted together
through these holes see Fig. 7.
7th. The ends of the belt are united by a fish plate i of metal or other substance
rivetted to the belt see Fig. 8.
8th. Slots are made in the ends of the belt which are lapped one over the other
and are united by studs ; passed through the slots. When inserted in these
openings half a turn is given to the studs and the ends are fixed vide Fig. 9.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim
The construction of metal belting for machinery consisting of strips or bands of
copper, iron and preferably steel, united by any of the methods herein described and
illustrated by the Figures 1 to 9 inclusive, or by any other suitable means.
