IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MACHINE BELTING
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOHN VINCENT TAYLOR of the Castle India Rubber Works, Warrington in
the County of Lancaster India Rubber Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MACHINE BELTING
to be as follows :-
My invention relates to the manufacture of that class of belting used for driving
machinery, which consists of a combination of woven cloth and india rubber; the
object of my invention being to prevent the stretching of such belting and generally
to improve its manufacture and durability.
The invention consists principally in a method of preparing and stretching the
belting cloth and combining woven wire cloth therewith in the manner following;
that is to say.
I first prepare the wire cloth by coating it on both sides with india rubber
solution by means of a spreading machine or by a friction calender in such a
manner that the rubber dough is forced through the pores of the wire. I then
take the belting cloth previously damped and stretch it lengthwise in a suitable
stretching machine so as to take as much "stretch out of the cloth as is
practicable without weakening or otherwise injuring the same.
The cloth having been thus stretched is then coated with india rubber solution
on both sides and folded round the sheet or strip of prepared wire cloth or gauze.
If required an outer coating of sheet india iubber is then applied after which
the whole is vulcanized under pressure and finished in the usual manner, but
where an india rubber surface is not required, the outer coating of sheet india
rubber may be dispensed with.

I JOHN VINCENT TAYLOR of the Castle India Rubber Works Warrington in
the County of Lancaster India Rubber Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF MACHINE BELTING
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 the manufacture of that class of belting used for driving
machinery which consists of a combination of woven cloth and india rubber; the
object of my invention being to prevent the stretching of such belting and generally
to improve its manufacture and durability.
The invention consists principally in a method of preparing and stretching the
belting cloth and combining woven wire cloth therewith in the manner following:-
that is to say.
I first prepare the wire cloth by coating it on both sides with india rubber

I then take the belting cloth previously damped and stretch it lengthwise in a
suitable stretching machine so as to take as much "stretch" out of the cloth as is
practicable without weakening, or otherwise injuring the same.
The cloth having been thus stretched is then coated with india rubber solution
on both sides and folded round the sheet or strip of prepared wire cloth or gauze.
Having done this I then by means of a sewing machine connect the whole
together by two or more rows of stitches according to the width so as to prevent
any unequal strainage.
If required, an outer coating of sheet india rubber is then applied, after which
the whole is vulcanized under pressure and finished in the usual manner, but where
an india rubber surface is not required the outer coating of sheet india rubber may
be dispensed with.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The manufacture of machine belting from stretched cloth in combination with
wire gauze substantially in the manner herein before described.
