AN IMPROVED WOVEN BELTING
Year: 1884

page_text: I FRANK REDDAWAY of the firm of Reddaway and Company of Pendleton in the
County of Lancaster, Belting Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of the
said invention for "AN IMPROVED WOVEN BELTING to be as follows:-
My invention relates to the woven belting used in lieu of leather belting in the
trausinission of rotatory motion.
Such belting is usually male of cotton canvas or sail cloth. According to my
invention I use camel hair yarn and cotton yarn and I weave the belt comploto
the lifting of the warps being so arranged as to bring the camel hair to the outer
surfaces so as to obtain durable wearing surfaces on the belting.
In the making of a belting of average strength I use four cotton warps and four
camel hair warps in addition to two binding warps. The bolting is woven in a
manner similar to the weaving of hose piping but in the case of the belting the
weaving is double so that it may be said that one hose is woven inside the other
the two binding warps being raised and lowered into the sheds of the other warps
so as to bind all together. The upper camel hair warps are raised and the lower
camel hair warps are lowered twice as often as the cotton warps whereby the camel
hair face is obtained.

the following statement :-
My Invention relates to the woven belting used in lieu of leather belting in the
transmission of rotatory motion.
Such belting is usually made of cotton canvas or sail cloth. According to my
invention I use camel hair yarn and cotton yarn and I weave the belt complete the
lifting of the warps being so arranged as to bring the camel hair to the outer
surfaces so as to obtain durable wearing surfaces ou the belting.
In the making of a belting of average strength 1 use four cotton warps and
four camel hair warps in addition to two binding warps. The belting is woven in
a manner similar to the weaving of hose piping but in the case of the belting the
weaving is double so that it may be said that one hose is woven inside the other
the two binding warps being raised and lowered into the sheds of the other warps
so as to bind all together. The upper camel hair warps are raised and the lower
camel hair warps are lowered twice as often as the cotton warps whereby the camel
hair face is obtained.
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
1 claim is
1. In the manufacture of woven belting the employment of two sets of warps
one of cotton and the other of camel hair yarn.
2. Weaving belting for transmitting mechanical motion from four cotton warps
four camel hair warps and two binding warps.
3. The use in the manufacture of woven belting of cotton warps and camel hair
Warps the upper
and lower camel hair warps being raised and lowered twice as
often as the cotton warps in order to produce camel hair faces on the belting.
Dated this 9th day of October 1884.
