PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Belting.
1, GEORGE EDDISON STEAD of Skinner Lane Works, Leeds in the County of
York, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention relates to belting for driving and other purposes and consists in
improved combinations of leather and textile materials in forming belts, the object
of my invention being to protect the edges of textile belts against wear in the strap
forks and increase the adhesion of the belts on the pulleys while preserving a
uniform thickness of the belts.
In carrying out my invention I preferably make a belt of textile materials
thinner at the edges than over the rest of the width either by weaving it with
additional warp threads in the middle part or folding it of duck or canvas as
ordinarily used for belts with additional folds in the middle part, or by sewing one
or more woven or folded belts to another of greater width, so as to obtain a belt
thinned down or rebated at each edge for some distance either on both face and
back or on the back only. In the former case I fold a strip of leather over the
thin part on each edge so as to fill up the thinned part level with the rest and sew
the leather near to its own edges and the textile belt together with thread or wire,
the middle part when folded or composed of several layers being sewn together
in the usual way.
When the textile belt is made thinner at the back of the edges
only, I place a belt of leather broader than the textile belt on the face of the same
and fold its edges over the thinned edges of the textile belt and sew the whole
together using by preference wire for the folded over part of the leather and thread
for the middle part.
Instead of making the textile belt thinner on the edges as herein before described,
I in some cases form it of uniform thickness and after folding leather strips or a
broader belt of leather over the edges press the same by rollers to a uniform
thickness and sew it in this state before the textile belt is impregnated with paint
or other ingredients.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Belting.
I, GEORGE EDDISON STEAD of Skinner Lane Works, Leeds in the County of
York, Manufacturer, 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 :-
My invention relates to belts for driving and other purposes and consists in
improved combinations of leather and textile materials in forming said belts, the
object of my invention being to protect the edges of textile belts against wear in
the strap forks and increase the adhesion of the belts on the pulleys while
preserving a uniform thickness of the belts.
On the drawing appended hereunto
Figs. 1 and 2 show sections of my improved belt in two modifications and Fig. 3

page_text: In carrying out my invention I make a belt of textile materials preferably
thinner on the edges than over the rest of the width either by weaving it with
additional warp threads in the middle part, or folding it of duck, canvas or other
material ordinarily used for belts with additional folds a a¹ in the middle part as
shewn by Fig. 1, or by sewing one or more narrower woven belts to a broader
one b¹ as shewn by Fig. 2, so as to obtain a belt thinned down or rebated at each
edge for some distance either on both face of back, as shewn by Fig. 1, or on the
back only, as shown by Fig. 2. In the former case I fold a strip of lether c, Fig. 1,
over the thin part on each edge so as to fill up the thinned part level with the rest
and sew the leather near to its own edges and the textile belt together with thread
or wire, the middle part when folded or composed of several layers being sewn
together in the usual way. When the textile belt is made thinner at the back only
I place a wide strip of leather d, Fig. 2, broader than the textile belt, upon the
face of the same and fold its edges over the thinned edges of the textile belt and
sew the whole together, using by preference wire for the folded over part of the
leather and thread for the middle part.
Instead of making the textile belt thinner on the edges in the manner hereinbefore
described, I in some cases fold or weave it of uniform thickness and after folding
leather strips (Fig. 1) or a broad strip of leather (Fig. 2) over the edges, press the
whole by means of rollers to a uniform thickness, reducing thereby the thickness of
the textile belt on the edges, and sew it together in this state before the textile
belt is impregnated with paint or other ingredients.
The leather face or edges increase the adhesion of the textile belt on the
pulleys.
Belts made as herein before described may be provided with eyelets as described
in the Specification for my Patent No. 2915 of 1892.
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 :
Firstly, the combination with a textile belt made thinner on the edges at the
face and back of leather strips folded over the thinned edges and sewn thereto so
as to produce a belt of uniform thickness, substantially as hereinbefore described.
Secondly, the combination with a textile belt made thinner on the edges at the
back only of a broad leather strip placed on the face of the belt and folded over
the edges so as to produce a belt of uniform thickness, substantially as hereinbefore
described.
