PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Fastening for Belting.
We, STEPHEN PASFIELD, Machinist, of 103 Canal Road, Mile End, London, E.,
and ALBERT KNUDSON, Gentleman, of 61 Locksley Street, Limehouse, London, E.,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to an improved fastening for belting, and has for its object
a means whereby a secure fastening is obtained.
For this purpose I take a small plate or piece of malleable iron or other
suitable metal, to which are fixed four or other suitable number of studs or rivets.
These rivets are passed through the ends of the belting, so that such ends butt
each other.
Washers or burrs are then passed over the studs aforesaid, when they are
burred over.
Instead of the rivets being fixed to the plate aforesaid, holes may be formed in
said plate, and the rivets passed through and burred over at each side.
Dated this 24th day of May 1895.

We, STEPHEN PASFIELD, Machinist, of 103 Canal Road, Mile End, London E.
and ALBERT KNUDSON, Gentleman of 61 Locksley Street, Limehouse, London E.
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:-
The object of our invention is to produce a secure fastening for belting, and
in carrying it into effect, we provide a plate or piece of malleable iron; or other
suitable metal or material to which we attach four or any other suitable number
of studs, rivets or other projections of sufficient height above the plate that when
passed through the belt they will stand above the upper surface of it, sufficiently
to admit of a washer or burr being placed on and rivetted over.
The ends of the belt are "butt" jointed together and the projections on the
piece of metal are passed through holes made for the purpose in the ends of the
belt; washers are then put over the ends of the projections, and the ends rivetted
over, thus holding the ends of the belt between the washers and the plate carrying
the studs or projections.
Instead of the studs or projections being fixed to or forming part of the plate,
of malleable or other metal above mentioned, holes may be made in the plate and
rivets or pins passed through the plate and through the belt and burred over
washers as before mentioned.
In order to further explain our invention we annex a sheet of drawings in which
Fig. 1 shows a plan Fig. 2 a side view and Fig. 3 an end view of a fastening
constructed and applied in accordance with our invention.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is :-
1. In fastenings for belting a plate of malleable iron or other suitable metal or
material provided with fixed studs or the like, or loose rivets or the like the ends
of which after being passed through the ends of the belting are surrounded by
washers over which the ends of the studs rivets or the like are burred and so
fasten the belt between the under surface of the washer and the upper surface of
the plate, the whole substantially as and for the purpose described in the above
Specification and exemplified by the accompanying drawings.
