Patented 'Oct- 8, 1935 narran sTaTEs PATENT oFFlcE BEitSUED BELTING Joseph Charles Pistilli, Meriden, Conn. v Application November 20, 1934, Serial No. 754,000

3 Claims. (Cl. 711-232) 5 same is composed of The invention relates to belting and more particularly to a polishing belt.

The primary object of the invention is the provision of a belt of this character, wherein the wire mesh screening and wire fabrics, these being arranged in a fashion so that the screening will be centrally located and the fabrics enveloping the same, while the e'dges of the screening are selvaged or reinforced to avoid leaving raw edges on the screening, and at the same time forming a crown at the intermediate portion of the belt between said edges of said screening.

Another object of the invention is the provision f a belt of this character, which is simple in its construction, thoroughly reliable and eincient in its purpose, novel in its make-up, strong, durable, and inexpensive to manufacture.

With these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which discloses the preferred embodiment of the invention, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a belt constructed in accordance with the invention, portions thereof being broken away to show the assembly of the screening and fabric making up the body of the belt.

Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional View through the belt.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing. v

Referring to the drawing in detail, the belt comprises a strip of wire mesh screening 5 having at its opposite longer edges a binding tape 6, this being turned over the finished or selvaged edges of the screening 5 and made secure by thread stitches 'l longitudinally directed. These tapes 5 serve as an edge binding for the screening strip 5.

Enveloping the screening strip 5 are the wire fabric stretches 8 and 9, respectively, the longitudinal edges of each meeting one another, as

at I0, the meeting edges of one stretch being at one side of the screening strip 5, while the meeting edges of the other stretch are at the opposite side of said screening strip, as will be clearly apparent in Figure 2 of the drawing, and 5 these meeting edges lll of the stretches are at the longitudinal center line of the strip 5.

Applied to the outer stretch 9 is a wire fabric strip H, its width being slightly less than the width of the belt under the complete assembly 10 thereof, and such strip I l is made fast by spaced parallel rows of thread stitches l2, these being passed through the stretches 8 and 9 and the interstices of the wire mesh screening 5, as will be clearly apparent from Figure 2 of the drawing. 15

it should be obvious that maximum strength is had under the assembly of the belt and longevity is assured, the belt under such assembly being adapted for polishing purposes.

The meeting edges of the stretches 8 and 9 are 20 joined together by thread stitches.

What is claimed is:

l. A belt of the character described comprising a wire mesh screening strip, fabric tapings at the longitudinal edges thereof to constitute bindings thereto, wire fabrics enveloping the said strip, and a wire fabric strip carried eX- teriorly of the outermost wire fabric.

2. A belt of the character described comprising a wire mesh screening strip, fabric tapings at the longitudinal edges thereof to constitute bindings thereto, wire fabrics enveloping the said strip, a wire fabric strip carried exteriorly of the outermost wire fabric, and longitudinal stitches extending through the wire fabric strip, the said wire fabrics and the screening strip.

3. A belt of the character described comprising a wire mesh screening strip, fabric tapings at the longitudinal edges thereof to constitute bindings thereto, wire fabrics enveloping the said strip, a wire fabric strip carried exteriorly of the outer most wire fabric, and longitudinal stitches extending through the wire fabric strip, the said wire fabrics and the screening strip and disposed in parallel relation to each other throughout the length of the belt.
