    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an improved method of manufacturing a pneumatic tire using a bladderless curing system. The tire is built on an associated tire building drum (26) by the layering of multiple tire components on the drum (26); one of the components is an innerliner strip (28). In accordance with the disclosed invention, the innerliner strip (28) is formed with precured regions (32). The precured regions (32) are formed by curing the innerliner strip (28) at one or more regions intermediate of the ends (30) of the strip (28). The strip (28) is applied to the tire building drum (26) and the ends (30) are spliced to one another.

    Abstract: A mold 20 for curing a precured tread 10 to a tire casing 100 is disclosed. The mold 20 has a first annular portion 24, a second annular portion 44, a pair of annular portions 12,14, and an inflatable bladder 23 for insertion into the casing 100 when enclosed in the cavity 53 of the closed mold 20. The first annular portion 24 has a sidewall supporting member 27, the sidewall supporting member 27 having a bead forming end 29, and a tread supporting member 28 integrally attached and generally normal to the sidewall support member 27. The tread supporting member 28 has a smooth axially contoured annular surface for contacting the radially outer surface of the precured tread 10 and a first end 50 in proximity to the tread lateral end 48 of the second annular portion 44. The second annular portion 44 has a sidewall supporting member 47 and tread lateral end supporting member 48 the second portion 44 having a first end 50 and a second end 52. The first end 50 is adjacent to the tread supporting member 48 of the portion 44. The first end 50 is aligned with the first end 51 of the first annular portion 24 when the mold 20 is closed thus forming a cavity 53 for the precured tread 10 and casing 100. The preferred mold 20 has the first end 51 of the tread supporting member 28 located at or near the lateral end 50 located adjacent relative to the tread support member 48.

    Abstract: Method for providing precured innerliners (50) having a predetermined cross sectional profile for use as part of a pneumatic tire assembly used in a bladder-less shaping and vulcanizing mold. The innerliner (50) is formed from a continuous strip of elastomeric material (12) hot formed using a calender assembly (10) with a profiled calender roller (16). The formed strip is cured “in-line” in a press (38) having a profile matching platen (80) before being wound onto a tire building drum (48). After the pneumatic tire assembly is completed, the assembly is shaped and cured in a bladder-less mold, utilizing the precured innerliner as the impervious inner layer. Initially, the center region (62) of the innerliner is at least twice as thick as the lateral regions (72, 74). In the finished pneumatic tire, the innerliner exhibits a uniform thickness.

    Abstract: A segmented annular mold for forming a tread belt having a reinforcing belt structure, the belt structure having a radial thickness (t) is disclosed. The mold has a plurality of radially movable and outwardly expandable inner segments for forming the inner surface of the tread belt and a plurality of radially movable and contracting outer segments for forming the outer tread belt surface. The radially inner and radially outer segments form a mold parting line at a location radially outward of a midpoint of the belt reinforcing structure of the tread belt at a location greater than 50% (t) as measured from the radially innermost surface of the belt reinforcing structure. The radially inner segments have upper and lower lateral edge forming portions extending outwardly to the parting line. Similarly, the radially outer mold segments have upper and lower lateral edge forming portions extending inwardly to the parting line. The parting line is located at least radially outwardly of a radially inner second belt layer of the belt reinforcing structure.
