    摘要: A carcass sleeve is situated in a radially external position with respect to a toroidal forming drum, arranged in a first radially contracted operative condition. The carcass sleeve is shaped according to a toroidal configuration while the forming drum is positioned inside the carcass sleeve. During shaping of the carcass sleeve, the forming drum is radially expanded up to a second radially expanded operative condition. Upon completed shaping, the carcass sleeve is coupled to the forming drum in the second operative condition. The forming drum, coupled to the shaped carcass sleeve, is arranged in proximity to at least one device for building at least one belt layer at a radially external position relative to the shaped carcass sleeve.

    摘要: A green tyre (2) for bicycles is built, comprising at least one carcass ply (4) having axially opposite end flaps (4a) engaged with respective bead cores (5) and a tread band (6) applied in a radially outer position around said at least one carcass ply (4). The green tyre (2) removed from the building drum, is profiled so as to translate the tread band (6) in a radially outer direction with respect to the bead cores (5), so as to impart a cross-sectional convex profile to the tyre (2) in a radially outer direction. The profiled tyre is engaged by means of a transfer member (31) while the tyre itself is mechanically restrained so as to maintain at least partly said cross-sectional convex profile in the radially outer direction.

    摘要: A green tyre (2) for bicycles is built, comprising at least one carcass ply (4) having axially opposite end flaps (4a) engaged with respective bead cores (5) and a tread band (6) applied in a radially outer position around said at least one carcass ply (4). The built tyre (2) removed from the building drum, is profiled so as to translate the tread band (6) in a radially outer direction with respect to the bead cores (5), so as to impart a cross-sectional convex profile to the tyre (2) in a radially outer direction. The profiled tire is engaged by means of a transfer member (31) comprising a gripping device (30) which holds it hanging and loads it into a vulcanisation mould (101) by axially positioning an axial centreline plane (M) of the green tyre at an axial reference (51) arranged at a predetermined height along a reference axis (K) of a central body (103) of the vulcanisation mould (101).

    摘要: In the production of tyres for vehicle wheels in which at least one colored label (200) is provided on at least one of the sidewalls of the tyre, a green tyre is arranged inside a vulcanization mold comprising a first half-shell (50), a second half-shell opposite to the first half-shell (50) and a crown of circumferential sectors configured to air-tightly couple with the first half-shell (50) and with the second half-shell when the vulcanization mold is closed. Each label (200) comprises a layer of colored cross-linkable elastomeric material. Each label (200) is arranged in a predetermined position on a first support surface (50a) defined in at least one of the aforementioned first and second half-shell. The green tyre is arranged inside the vulcanization mold so that one of the sidewalls of the green tyre rests on such a support surface (50a). The mold is then closed and the co-vulcanization of the green tyre and of the label(s) (200) inside the vulcanization mold starts, holding in position the labels (200) on the first support surface (50a) during at least one initial part of the vulcanization.
