摘要:
Formation of a belt structure (2) takes place by laying down, directly on the carcass structure (3) of a tyre being processed (1), a laying layer (16) formed of a continuous strip-like element (16) of elastomer material directly coming from an extrusion die. The strip-like element (16a) has a differentiated thickness at its opposite edges to give rise to circumferential grip recesses (18) on the laying layer (16). Then, on the laying layer (16) a primary belt strip (6) is formed which is obtained by winding up of a continuous bare cord into coils (6a) disposed in axial side by side relationship. A cord of the high starting elongation type is preferably employed and it is wound up substantially in the absence of tensioning. A covering layer (19) made in the same manner as the laying layer (16) can be subsequently laid down on the primary belt strip (6).
摘要:
The present invention concerns a process for manufacturing a tyre. Said process comprises the steps of: a) providing an elastomeric layer on an outer surface of a toroidal support; b) manufacturing said green tyre on said toroidal support; c) introducing said green tyre supported on said toroidal support into a moulding cavity; d) introducing a fluid under pressure into the space defined between the inner surface of the green tyre and the toroidal support; e) curing the green tyre. Said process further comprises the step of the step of causing an electrical current to flow in at least a heating element provided to the outer surface of said toroidal support so as to obtain an at least partial precuring of said elastomeric layer. The present invention further relates to a toroidal support (10) which is provided with at least a heating element (20) covering at least a portion of the outer surface of said toroidal support, said heating element comprising, in a radial direction from the inside towards the outside of said heating element, athermally insulating layer (22) and an electrically resistive circuit (23). Preferably, the heating element (20) further comprises a protective layer (24) radially external to the electrically resistive circuit (23).

摘要:
A device for the moulding and vulcanization, in predetermined conditions of temperature and pressure, of an at least partially green tyre having a defined volume, said device comprising an outer shell and a collapsible inner support, in which said device also comprises a movable crown interposed between said inner support and said outer shell, said movable crown forming, with said outer shell, a cavity of controlled volume for the moulding and vulcanization of said tyre, the volume of said cavity adapting to the volume of the tyre it contains, so that said moulding pressure is maintained within a predetermined range of values. The invention also relates to a method of moulding and vulcanization at controlled volume.
