摘要:
One or more components of elastomer material in a tyre are formed by dispensing elastomer material through a nozzle of an extruder to form a continuous elongated element of flattened section that is laid in the form of coils disposed close to each other on a laying surface carried by a support element, while said support element is driven in rotation and suitably moved adjacent to a die of the nozzle. The nozzle is drivable in rotation by an actuator so as to modify orientation of the nozzle itself during formation of the tyre component.

A vehicle wheel tire includes a carcass structure, at least one annular reinforcing structure, a tread band, and a pair of sidewalls. The carcass structure includes at least one carcass ply, each including a plurality of elongated elements disposed around a cross-section profile of the tire. Each elongated element includes two side portions at mutually-spaced-apart positions and a crown portion that extends between the side portions. The at least one annular reinforcing structure includes at least one bead core. A fraction of the elongated elements is turned up around the at least one bead core. A method of manufacturing the tire includes preparing the elongated elements, disposing each elongated element on a toroidal support, applying at least one bead core at a region close to side portions of the elongated elements, and turning up ends of a fraction of the elongated elements around the at least one bead core.

During manufacture of a tyre for motor vehicles, one or more structural elements of elastomeric material, such as a tread band provided with a respective under-layer, are manufactured by laying a continuous elongated element on the carcass structure or other forming support, which elongated element is longitudinally divided into a first and second mutually-coupled portions that are obtained through extrusion of two different elastomeric materials coming from respective extruders leading to a common extrusion die. Laying of the coils takes place in such a manner that the first and second materials form a first layer and a second layer overlapping the first layer, respectively.

A tyre for a vehicle wheel includes a toroidal carcass including a central crown portion and two axially opposed sidewalls terminating in beads for mounting on a rim. Each bead includes at least one annular reinforcing core that includes a set of loops or spirals of metallic filament. The carcass is provided with a reinforcing structure including at least one carcass ply reinforced with metallic cords. Ends of the reinforcing structure are fixed to the reinforcing cores. The reinforcing structure includes a neutral profile intersecting cross-sections of fields that delimit the reinforcing cores. The profile includes a continuous curvature without points of inflection along the extension between the beads. At least one auxiliary reinforcing element is provided in at least one of the beads that partially extends within a respective field or in a radially inner portion of at least one sidewall in a position radially external to the field.

A method for manufacturing a tyre for vehicle wheels, includes a carcass structure having at least one carcass ply associated with axially opposite annular anchoring structures. The method includes the steps of manufacturing at least one pair of annular anchoring structures of the carcass structure and associating the pair of annular anchoring structures with the at least one carcass ply at axially opposite end flaps of the carcass ply. The step of manufacturing each annular anchoring structure includes the steps of manufacturing a bead core and coating the bead core with a reinforcement tape through an apparatus. The step of coating the bead core includes the steps of winding the reinforcement tape onto the bead core moving a tape deposition member with respect to the bead core. The step of manufacturing the annular anchoring structure further includes a step of loading the reinforcement tape onto the tape deposition member. This last step is carried out simultaneously with at least part of the step of winding the reinforcement tape onto the bead core.
