Application 'April 26, 1934, Serial No.` '122,554
8 Claims.
This invention relates to fabrics of the woven coil wire type and has for thev primary object the provision of means located within the fabric and extending from opposite edges thereof inwardly of said fabric and terminating within the latter to provide the fabric with selvages adapted to prevent the fabric from tearing or becoming out of shape and which will not affect the flexibility of the fabric or materially increase the cost of manufacture thereof.
Another object of this invention is the provision of coil strands of the same formation as the coil strands of the fabric andscrewed into or interwoven with the strands of said fabric from opposite edges of the latter inwardly of the fabric to provide reinforcing selvages to the fabric with means also .cooperating therewith to strengthen the fabric at its selvages for maintaining the reinforcing strands in the -same plane with the strands of the fabric so that the reinforcing strands will not drop outwardly of the strands of the fabric during theuse of the latter.-
With these and other objects in view this invention consists in certain'novel features of construction, combination and'arrangement of parts to be hereinafter. more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding ofA my invention, reference is to be hadto the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view illustrating a fabric constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is a fragmentary plan view showing vthe reinforcing strands woven with one another and with the strandsof the fabric.
Figure 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a similar view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure. 1.
Figure 5 is a perspective view illustrating one of the reinforcing elements.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the .numeral 10 indicates a woven wire fabriccomposed of coiled wire strands l1 woven or screwed one into the other. The strands l1 may be of either right hand coiled formation or left hand coiled Vformationand the ends of said strands are suitably secured together in pairs either by welding, knuckling or in any other manner well known in this art. A fabric thus constructed is useful for many purposes and primarily for the making of endless conveyor belts.` The strands ll of the fabric extendtransversely of the belt when the fabric is employed for this purpose and if desired and at spaced intervals of the fabric, reinforcing rods 12 may be extended through the con-v volutions of pairs of the strands, as illustrated in Figure 1, by a single rod having its ends secured to the ends of the respective pair of strands,
.(Cl. 24S-6) yfor the purpose of reinforcing the fabric and aiding in preventing the fabric from shrinking or spreading out of shape due to excessive strains' or loads thereon..
To prevent tearing and to strengthen the fabric my invention is employed and consists of selvages for the fabric, as clearly shown in Figure 1. The selvages .are constructed from coiled wire strands 14 of the same formation as thestrands .11 and the strands 14 of each selvage are woven or screwed one into anotherand also into the strands 11. -The strands14 are approximately of the same length and much shorter than the strands 11 so that the inner ends of the strands 14 terminate within the fabric and alsowithin the convolutions of the strands 11. The outer ends of the strands 14 are connected in pairs by welding or knuckling. The outer ends of the .strands 14 terminate in alignment with the ends of the strands 11. The strands '14 afford maxi- Ymum strength to the fabric where employed therein and do not prevent such portions of the fabric which ha've the strands woven therein from flexing. The strands 14 due to their connections'in pairs will be prevented from working out of the fabric or transversely of the fabric to any appreciable extent.
The connected ends of the strands 11 and 14 and the connecting portions of the elements 15 form wear resisting edges to the selvages capable of effectively resisting wear and also materiallyr preventing the fabric from tearing at the edges when the fabric is employed in conveyor belts and which during use crowd or bear against guides and rollers placing thereon forces acting to wear or tear the belt.
Having described the invention, I claim:

I
5. In a metallic fabric, coiled wire strands of the same formation woven one into the other to form the fabric, coiled strands of the same formation as the first-named strands and of a shorter length than the latteriand woven therein and into one another to form selvages for the fabric, said second-named strands extending inwardly from opposite edges of the fabric and terminating within the fabric and within the convolutions of the first-named strands, said first-named strands having the ends thereof connected to group the first-named strands in pairs and the secondnamed strands having their outer ends'connected to group the second-named strands in pairs,
