Description: |
| Abstract:
In mending or splicing rubber belts, and also leather belts when very spongy or elastic, the hole made by the awl is liable to close up as soon as the awl is withdrawn, thereby interfering with or preventing the insertion of the lacing and greatly delaying the work.
It is also sometimes necessary to enlarge a hole after it is made by the awl, which cannot be readily accomplished where the stock of which the belt is composed is very stiff or hard.
Our invention is designed to obviate these difficulties; and to that end we make use of means which will be readily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation, the extreme simplicity of the invention rendering an elaborate description unnecessary.
Claim:
A belt-awl provided with a handle and series of holes adapted to receive lacings of different sizes, said holes. |
