摘要:
A device for handling a rubber-containing product web (20) intended for the manufacture of a tire, of the type comprising: an endless belt (24) for conveying the web (20), which belt is guided and driven by a set of rollers (R1 to R8) rotatably mounted about axes parallel to a direction (Y), termed the transverse direction, at least some of these rollers (R1 to R8) separating a carrier strand (24P) of the belt, which is intended to carry the web (20), from a return strand (24R) of the belt, a reel (28) for winding the web (20), which reel is arranged above the carrier strand (24P) and rotatably mounted about an axis substantially parallel to the transverse direction; and (Y), means (46) for temporarily diverting the path of the carrier strand (24P) between a normal path of the carrier strand (24P), substantially tangential to the reel (28), and a temporary path for winding the carrier strand (24P) around a sector of the reel (28) that is more than 90°.
