PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Edgings for Woven Belting.
We FRANK REDDAWAY, Managing Director, of F. Reddaway & Co. Limited,
and F. REDDAWAY & CO. LIMITED, of Cheltenham Street, Pendleton, Manchester,
in the County of Lancaster, Manufacturers of Woven Machine Belting and Hose,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our said invention relates to an improved edging for woven belting to protect
the same and render the margins of such beiting less liable to fray and catch,.
especially where a belt fork is used.
In carrying our invention into effect we so arrange that in weaving the belting,.
the margins or edges are reduced in thickness for a sufficient width on each side.
This may be done by reducing the warps, or by any other convenient means known.
to the weaver.
When the belting has been thus woven we lay strips of heated gutta-percha or
of a mixture of gutta-percha and balata upon each side of the said reduced margins
of the belting, and mould the same into a straight and even edging. These
edgings when dry are smooth and sufficiently hard to withstand the friction of the
belt fork and are moreover so elastic that they readily bend without cracking or
chipping. By reducing the thickness of the woven belting at the edges as set
forth, and providing a wide tongue or strip on each side forming part and parcel of
the belting we are enabled to apply a substantial edging of gutta-percha or
other suitable material, the applied edgings of material being firmly held by the
wide and secure woven faces of the said reduced side strips or tongues, and without
extending above the level of the belting on either side.

We FRANK REDDAWAY Managing Director, of F. Reddaway & Co. Limited,.
and F. REDDAWAY & CO. LIMITED, of Cheltenham Street, Pendleton, Manchester,

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 and accompanying drawings:
:-
Our said invention relates to improved edging for woven belting to protect the
same and render the margins of such belting less liable to fray and catch, especially
where a belt fork is used.
Our invention will be more easily understood by a reference to the accompanying
drawings in which Fig. 1. is a cross section of the improved belting and Fig. 2.
a plan of the same.

page_text: In carrying our invention into effect we so arrange that in weaving the belting a
the margins or edges a¹ a¹ are reduced in thickness for a sufficient width on cach
side. This may be done by reducing the warps, or by any other convenient means
known to the weaver.
When the belting has been thus woven we lay strips of heated gutta-percha bb
or of a mixture of gutta-percha and balata upon each side of the said reduced
margins a¹ a¹ of the belting, and mould the same into a straight and even edging.
These edgings when dry are smooth and sufficiently hard to withstand the friction
of the belt fork and moreover so elastic that they readily bend without cracking
or chipping. By reducing the thickness of the woven belting at the edges as set
forth, and providing a wide tongue or strip al a¹ on each side forming part and
parcel of the belting, we are enabled to apply a substantial edging 66 of gutta-
percha or other suitable material, the applied edgings of material being firmly
held by the wide and secure woven faces of the said reduced side strips or tongues
and without extending above the level of the belting on either side.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what we
claim is.
1. The improved edging for woven belts substantially as described and shown.
2. In woven driving belting, forming the same with reduced side strips or
margins and applying thereto edgings of gutta-percha and balata or edgings of
other suitable material or compound for the purposes and substantially as herein-
before described and shown.
