A method and an apparatus for sticking a belt-like member, wherein a belt-like member prepared by cutting a raw material of the belt-like member on a conveyor at two front and rear locations, is conveyed by the conveyor, wrapped around a cylindrical drum and stuck to the drum. The inclination angle of the cut line at the leading end of the belt-like member is measured at the time of cutting, the inclination angle of the cut line at the trailing end is measured at the time of cutting, and by comparing the inclination of the cut line at the trailing end with the inclination angle at the leading end, an amount of correction for the inclination angle is calculated. After cutting at the trailing end, the trailing end portion is attracted and held by an attracting device, and by rotating this attracting device on the basis of the aforementioned amount of correction for the inclination angle, the inclination angle of the cut line at the trailing end is corrected so as to coincide with the inclination angle of the cut line at the leading end. While maintaining this corrected condition, the belt-like member is wrapped around the cylindrical drum and stuck to the drum. The belt-like member after completion of wrapping has its leading end edge and its trailing end edge surly coincide with each other, and a step-shaped deviation or the like would not arise.

A tire building method and apparatus applies a length of tred stock to a belt package or to a green tire carcass. The belt package or green tire carcass is mounted to a cylindrical building drum. The tread stock is then loaded outer face down onto an elongated, inclined servicer extending toward the drum. The stock is conveyed downwardly along the servicer to a delivery point located beneath the drum. The servicer is pivotally raised to bring the stock into contact with the materials on the drum, the stock at such point being directed to the drum to contact a lower portion of the drum along a line tangent to the periphery of the drum. During conveying of the stock along the servicer, the stock is retained in a centered position by engaging a groove or ridge formed along the outer side of the stock. Upon arrival of the stock beneath the drum, the drum is rotated, whereby the stock is adhered to the materials thereon and lifted away from the servicer onto the drum.

A device for connecting steel cord web sections, consisting of steel cord webs having steel threads disposed in a longitudinal direction, to form a steel cord web with steel threads disposed at an angle to the longitudinal direction of the original steel cord web. This device comprises a conveyor belt means having a plurality of narrow belts for feeding the steel cord web sections and retaining means for clamping the seam portions of the steel cord web sections to be connected. Also included are means for bringing together and joining, at a connecting point, the connection faces of the seam portions of the steel cord sections to be connected.The improvement of this invention lies in the conveyor belt means comprising an incoming conveyor belt having an upper section extending beneath the connection point and an outgoing conveyor belt having a plurality of narrow belts spaced with respect to one another for advancing the steel cord web which is produced. The outgoing conveyor belt extends beneath the connection point where the incoming conveyor belt and the outgoing conveyor belt interlock with one another beneath the connection point. Also, retaining means is positioned above the conveyor belt means.

An adjustable edge trimmer for removing the marginal excess of rubber from a longitudinally moving sheet of elastomeric material. The edge trimmer is biased into contact with the moving fabric and is free to follow the cord edge while maintaining the same cutting pressure in its movement. The cutting angle is independently adjustable irrespective of the transverse slant of the carriage that carries the edge trim cutter.

A method is disclosed for accurately and readily forming a continuous band of rubberized fabric having transversal reinforcing metal elements by butt-splicing wherein a first and second piece of rubberized fabric having transversal reinforcing metal elements are positioned such that the initial end of the second piece is a predetermined distance from the terminal end of the first piece on a common plane with the reinforcing metal cords running parallel to the ends of the pieces, butt-splicing the pieces, without overlapping, by mutually approaching the pieces, obtaining a uniform accumulation of the rubber of the rubberized fabric about the reinforcing cords as well as a local thickening of the latter at a zone symmetrically situated with respect to the contact surface of the ends and whose width is proportional to the pre-established distance wherein the pieces are bound by the operating parts of the splicing apparatus, releasing the pieces from the operating parts of the splicing apparatus and winding up the continuous band on a collecting drum. An apparatus for producing the continuous band is also disclosed where the operating parts have a base element and a movable ledger capable of locking the pieces of rubberized fabric on a common plane by a series of fingers.

Abutting edges of various plies wrapped about a tire building drum in the assembly of unvulcanized tire components are spliced together with a hand-held tool which features a pair of freely rotatable, oppositely slanted wheels mounted so that the angular peripheries of the wheels cooperate with the slanted mounting to urge adjacent ply edges together as the wheels are moved straddlingly along and on either side of the two abutting edges; the tool desirably and additionally featuring means for imparting heat to said wheels so that the unvulcanized stock is softened, enhancing the merging together of the stock edges as urged together by the hand pressure transmitted to the stock by the wheels.

Between the creel rack and the embedding stage of a wirereinforced fabric making machine, particularly a machine made by Berstorff, is inserted a tensioning device for the wires which is common to many wires of each layer. The device as shown has a pair of spaced-apart, grooved, braked, rollers with their axes mutually positioned by swivelling link arms so that the rollers may be moved from condition in which the common plane of their axes is vertical (to facilitate threading of the generally horizontal wires when the machine is being set up) to one where the wires are made to execute an S bend round the rollers and thus drive them in common against the braking resistance.

A METHOD OF MAKING A GLASS REINFORCED RUBBER-LIKE MATERIAL BY DRAWING AN ARRANGEMENT OF PARALLEL GLASS CORDS TOGETHER AND THEN BETWEEN TWO CONVERGING LAYERS OF SAID RUBBER-LIKE MATERIAL TO EFFECT A COMBINING OF THE TWO LAYERS WITH THE PARALLEL GLASS CORD SANDWICHED THEREBETWEEN.
摘要:
A device for folding strips of rubber-coated cord fabric so that the folded strips can be used as belt inserts in vehicle tires. The unfolded strip is fed down an inclined table into a folding zone where it is pinched between upper and lower pairs of rollers, both motor driven. Pressurized jets of air impinge upon the underside of the fabric at spaced intervals, and force the central portion of it upwardly into a folding gap between the upper pair of rollers. The upper rollers are smooth surfaced so as to achieve more intimate contact with the tacky rubberized fabric, and therefore drag the fabric into the folding gap to complete the folding operation. The lower rollers are grooved for less intimate contact, but temporary driving engagement with the fabric, and they can be driven at a different surface speed than the upper rollers to assist in conveying the fabric toward the entrance of the folding gap. Axially spaced bearings and rolling reinforcements for the lower and upper rollers respectively are yieldably and adjustably mounted. The upper rollers are mounted on a pivotable rack which is raised by an air cylinder to permit the insertion of the fabric, and then lowered by the cylinder to perform the folding operation.
