PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Woven Leather Belting, and in Woven Leather
Cloth of all kinds.
GEORGE HURN 43, Sydner Road, Stoke Newington, London, N. Manufacturer
in the County of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
For the manufacture of woven and quilted or stitched leather belting for
driving machinery of all descriptions, and woven and quilted or stitched woven
leather cloth of all kinds. I may mention that I am the inventor and patentee of
woven leather belting, &c. (Patent dated the 23rd December 1865, No. 3334) and
in manufacturing such, 1 find that by quilting or stitching the belting in zigzag and
parallel lines near each selvage, I am enabled to produce a fabric of greatly
increased strength, by securing more firmly together the warp and weft, rendering
it so firm and compact, and preventing any stretching at the selvages, which is of
the utmost importance when the belting is severely strained on the machinery.
The woven leather fabrics of all kinds to be quilted or stitched obliquely,
transversely, or any desirable form.

Improvements in Woven Leather Belting, and in Woven Leather
Cloth of all kinds.
GEORGE HURN 43, Sydner Road, Stoke Newington, London, N. Manufacturer
in the County of London 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 improvements consist in the quilting or stitching the woven leather belting
and the quilting or stitching woven leather cloth of all kinds for various useful
purposes and the like. In manufacturing, I find that by quilting or stitching the
belting in zigzag and parallel lines uear each selvage, I am enabled to produce a
fabric of greatly increased strength, by securing more firmly together the warp
and weft, rendering it so firm and compact, and preventing any stretching at the
selvages, which is of the utmost importance when the belting is severely strained
on the machinery.
I also propose to quilt or stitch the belting in the centre, or other positions, in
zigzag or parallel lines, obliquely, transversely, or any other form to produce the
strongest and most perfect belting.
The belting to be woven entirely of tanned leather, skin, or hide, or in
combination with hemp, flax, cotton, silk, wool, hair, or any animal or vegetable

page_text: fibre, or any metallic wire, as iron, steel, brass or copper and the like when found
desirable.
The quilting or stitching to consist of hemp, flax, cotton, silk, or any vegetable
fibre, or animal substance, or any metallic wire as iron, brass, steel, or copper and
the like according to the light. or heavy texture of the belting.
The woven leather cloth when employed in the manufacture of boots and shoes,
hats, caps, gaiters, coverings for furniture, portmanteaux, travelling bags, and
fancy articles, to be quilted or stitched when necessary, as is the fabric termed belts
or belting as before described.
The woven leather cloth when employed or used for fancy and artistic purposes,
to be dyed, painted, stained, varnished, or enamelled when requisite.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
iton and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1st. The quilting or stitching of the belts or belting, and the combination of
the various materials described when necessary or requisite, thus obtaining greater
strength, greater working capacity and endurance.
2nd. The quilting or stitching applies equally to the lighter kinds of woven
leather cloth of all kinds for numerous useful and artistic purposes as described,
vastly improving their appearance, giving additional strength, and much greater
endurance.
GEORGE HURN.
