Improvements in the Manufacture of Woven Belting.
We, WILLIAM TERRY and FESTUS RAWNSLEY, both of Dudley Hill, Bradford,
in the County of York, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
-
This invention relates to the manufacture of woven belting of the class for
which Letters Patent No. 5020 dated 9th March 1895 were granted to the present
applicants, and the improvements specially refer to the manufacture of such belts
of wide width or broad belting.
The making of belting according to the specification above referred to, so far
as the general manufacture and average width of belting has proved an invention
of great utility, but for belting of considerable width, say over 7 inches, and
consequent extra thickness, a difficulty occurs in crowding into the reed of the
loom the requisite number of threads for the core or straight warp.
Now according to the present invention the core or straight threads are divided
into two or more equal parts or lairs, the one lair being arranged above the other,
the divisions between the two or more lairs being occupied by weft threads..
The upper and under surfaces or enclosing fabrics are of the weave as described
and illustrated in the specification referred to, and the centre threads which
divide the two or more lairs of core threads are so interlaced with the threads of
the outer fabrics as to form an intervening fabric between each two of the two
or more lairs of the core threads and to bind such fabrics together and to enclose
the core threads between the fabrics, and thus by dividing the core threads into
lairs one above another, the reed affords ample space for such threads.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Woven Belting.
We, WILLIAM TERRY and FESTUS RAWNSLEY, both of Dudley Hill, Bradford,
in the County of York, Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement:―
This invention relates to the manufacture of woven belting of the class for
which Letters Patent No. 5020 dated 9th March 1895 were granted to the present
applicants, and the improvements specially refer to the manufacture of such belts
of wide width or broad belting.
The making of belting according to the specification above referred to, so far

page_text: as the general manufacture and average width of belting has proved an invention
of great utility, but for belting of considerable width, say over 7 inches, and
consequent extra thickness, a difficulty occurs in crowding into the reed of the
loom the requisite number of threads for the core or straight warp.
Now according to the present invention the core or straight threads are divided
into two or more equal parts or layers, the one lair being arranged above the other,
the division between the two or more layers being occupied by weft threads.
The upper and under surfaces or enclosing fabrics are of the weave as described
and illustrated in the specification referred to, and the centre threads which
divide the two or more layers of core threads are so interlaced with the threads of
the outer fabrics as to form an intervening fabric between each two of the two
or more layers of the core threads and to bind such fabrics together and to enclose
the core threads between the fabrics, and thus by dividing the core threads into
layers one above another, the reed affords ample space for such threads.
Such being the nature and object of our said invention, the following is a com-
plete description of same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, in
which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of our improved belting.
Fig. 2 is a plan or view shewing the healding draft.
At D, D are shewn two layers of core or straight threads divided by weft
threads F. There are two other weft threads G, H, outside each layer of core
threads and the said threads G, H, are by the threads A, 1, 2, 3 interwoven and
so form the surface fabric, whilst the threads B, 1, 2, 3 form the other surface
fabric, and at C, C are binding threads which as shewn by the drawing Fig. 1
tie the surface fabrics A, B to the central weft threads F and to the weft
threads H, H, the whole falic being thus knitted or interwoven together.
.
In Fig. 2 the horizontal lines represent the shafts or healds for lifting the
warps, the core or straight threads D D being lifted in series as bracketed.
CC are the binding threads and 1, 2, 3 are the ordinary warp binding threads
producing the face. The vertical lines represent the warps, and these warps are
lifted by the shafts or healds on which they converge.
The binding threads of the fabric A may be interwoven with the threads H, H
of the fabric B and vice versa instead of with the threads F as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that
what we claim is:-
(1) The improved manufacture of driving belts wherein is combined two or
more layers of core threads D, D divided by weft threads F the said core threads
and dividing weft threads being enclosed by outer surface fabrics the whole
being tied and interlaced by binding threads C as herein described and sub-
stantially as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
(2) The improved manufacture of belting wherein are two or more layers of
core threads divided by weft threads and enclosed by outer fabrics the whole
being tied and interwoven by binding threads C which interweave or interlace
with the threads H H as herein described.
