Improvements in and relating to Traces, Applicable also to
Textile Driving Bands or Belts.
I, SAMUEL OGDEN of 23 West Mosley Street, Manchester in the County of
Lancaster, Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to Traces constructed or manufactured of woven bands or
belts or of textile fabric or fabrics and consists in preparing and treating such bands
belts or fabrics with certain materials and compounds for the purpose of preventing
or diminishing friction between the draught animal and the trace and the consequent
abrasion or other injury of the animal's coat or skin. Woven driving belts may be
similarly treated.
For the purpose of this Invention the bands belts or fabrics are impregnated, coated,
and painted with a material or compound which is insoluble in water and thus
renders the fabric impervious, which will create or produce a surface which will be
smooth and non-adherent at ordinary temperatures, and which will not wear off or
separate from the fabric. Among such materials or compounds are shellac, resin
and resinous gums, paraffin ozokerit vegetable wax spermaceti bees-wax and solid or
heavy non-volatile hydrocarbons or mixtures of these or some of these substances, to
which materials or compounds there may added powdered mica tale soapstono
graphite plumbago or similar substance.

Textile Driving Bands or Belts.
I, SAMUEL OGDEN of 23 West Mosley Street Manchester in the County of
Lancaster 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 :-
This invention relates to Traces constructed or manufactured of woven bands or
bolts or of textile fabric or fabrics, and consists in preparing and treating such bands
or belts or the traces manufactured therefrom with certain materials and compounds
for the purpose of preventing or diminishing friction between the sides of the draught
animal and the trace and the consequent abrasion of its hide or coat.
For the purpose of this invention the fabrics used in the construction of the band
or belt, the woven band or belt, or traces manufactured or constructed therefrom, are
impregnated coated or painted with a material or compound which will be insoluble
in water, which will not readily wear away or separate from the fabric, and which
will also produce a surface which at all ordinary temperatures will be smooth and
non-adherent to external bodies. Among such materials or compounds are waxy
substances such as ozokerit, paraffin wax, vegetable wax, belmontine, bee's wax and
spermaceti with which there may or may not be mixed or combined suitable resins,
gum resins, pitch and solid non-volatile hydrocarbons of similar character, and finely
powdered plumbago, silicate of magnesia, soapstone and similar minerals.
For traces to be used under ordinary conditions a mixture of ozokerit or other of
tho waxy substances with pitch may be employed, the relative proportions being
varied according to the hardness and colour desired to be secured. Three parts of
the wax to one part of pitch gives a useful result. For ordinary driving bands
plumbago in fine powder may be substituted for the pitch, or if a light colour is
desired, a mixture of one of the waxes with a powdered silicate of magnesia (talc, mica,
or steatite) may be employed. The powdered mineral substance or some one or more
of them may also be added to the waxy substance in addition to or in substitution for
the pitch or its equivalent resin, resinous gum or solid non-volatile hydrocarbon.
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 :-
Preparing and treating textile or woven traces, or the woven bands or fabrics from
which such traces may be constructed or manufactured, with the hereinbefore described
materials and compounds substantially as and for the purpose set forth and described.
Dated this 7th day of April A.D. 1887.
