7744. Gallsworthy, F. March 31. Straps and bands.-Leather, hide, &c. with the hair left on is employed in the manufacture of belts, harness traces, &c. Two strips of leather &c. are joined, hair inwards, by means of cement preferably with a basis of india-rubber. The strips A1, A2 may have an intermediate layer or layers C, Fig. 5, of wire netting, canvas, &c. or of longitudinal cords d, Fig. 6, the hair being drawn between or over the strands. Instead of two strips, three or more with or without canvas &c., or one strip with canvas, may be used, the hair being inside in each case. The cement may be supplemented by sewing diagonally which engages a maximum of the hairs or by riveting. In joining the strips end to end, the roots of the hair are cut as little as possible.
