A belt-shaped member cut into a predetermined length is fed from a feeding devices to a tire forming drum and is wound on its cylindrical peripheral surface. Center portions of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are pushed to be joined to each other and the side portions of at least one of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are held by upper and lower holding pawls. Such holding pawls are swung along an arcuate path so that both side portions of the opposite ends of the belt-shaped member are drawn near each other to abut against each other. The abutting end portions are pushed toward the peripheral surface of the drum by pushing devices for joining them together.

A device for joining ends of material strips of rubber or plastic materials with rubber properties, wherein the ends to be joined have areas of reduced wall thickness and wherein the end cut first is stretched shortly before joining the two ends, includes a plurality of force-transmitting elements positioned adjacent to one another transverse to a longitudinal direction of the material strip at a forward end thereof and acting on one face of the material strip. At least the force-transmitting elements positioned at the areas of reduced wall thickness of the forward end are movable in the longitudinal direction of the material strip for stretching the forward end of the material strip at least within the areas of reduced wall thickness.

A strip of resilient material is clamped uniformly across the width of the material at a first position by vertically spaced clamps which are separated to stretch a section of the material beyond the elastic limit. The stretched section of material is released and transported on a horizontal conveyor to a second position where the stretched section is cut by a cutter providing edges of reduced thickness which are suitable for overlapping other stretched edges of reduced thickness for splicing.

The front end and rear end of a belt-shaped member having a predetermined length are grasped by front end grasping pawls and rear end grasping pawls, respectively, movable in synchronism with and independently from each other when required. The front and rear end grasping pawls are moved in synchronism with each other until the front end of the belt-shaped member arrives at the forming drum. After the front end of the belt-shaped member has been pressure-joined with the forming drum, only the rear end grasping pawls grasping the rear end of the belt-shaped member are moved to attach the belt-shaped member to the circumference of the forming drum. The length of the belt-shaped member is modified to a predetermined length or the circumferential length of the forming drum while the front and rear ends are grasped by the front and rear end grasping pawls, respectively, or the belt-shaped member is being attached to the forming drum.

The belt-shaped member supplying method and apparatus are used for cutting a long material paid out of a winding roll into a belt-shaped member of a predetermined length and supplying the belt-shaped member onto a winding drum by means of a transfer device. The method includes steps of modifying an extending direction of a front edge of a long material, whose initial front end portion has been cut off, into a desired direction by applying an external force upon a front end portion of the long material, holding the front end portion of the long material, paying out the long material of a predetermined length, cutting the paid long material to form a belt-shaped member, modifying an extending direction of a rear edge of the belt-shaped member into a desired direction by applying an external force upon a rear end portion of the belt-shaped member, holding the rear end portion of the belt-shaped member, transferring the entire belt-shaped member to a predetermined position, taking up any slack of the belt-shaped member, holding the belt-shaped member against a plate-shaped transfer device, and moving the plate-shaped transfer device together with the belt-shaped member to the winding drum.

An apparatus joins opposite ends of a tread on a rotary drum in a tire making machine. Besides the rotary drum, the apparatus includes a conveyor having two lateral endless loops and a guide in the form of rollers interposed between the loops. The conveyor is disposed upstream of the rotary drum. Clamping mechanisms are provided to clamp the respective sides of the tread at a rear end thereof to the endless loops of the conveyor, respectively. A tread placed on the endless loops of the conveyor is maintained in relative position by the guide. The actual length of the tread on the conveyor is measured. The front end of the tread is adhered to the rotary drum and the opposite sides of the tread at the rear end thereof are clamped to the conveyor. The conveyor and drum are then driven at appropriate speeds based on the length of the tread to cause the ends thereof to be joined on the drum. Movable grippers can be provided to stretch the rear end of the tread at the sides thereof into abutment with the front end.
摘要:
In a cylindrical tire forming member building method or apparatus, after the front end portion of a belt-shaped material is pressed against the drum, the belt-shaped material is wound on the drum while being centered, and with the central portion of the rear end portion of the belt-shaped material pressed against the drum with a robot hand, both edge portions of the rear end portion of the belt-shaped material are elongated longitudinally and pressed against the drum with the robot hand, so that the front and rear ends of the belt-shaped material are butt-joined without forming a gap therebetween or without being overlapped.
