Abstract: The method of forming a bead 10 having a trailing end 12 of at least one bead wire 14 being anchored in the bead 10. The method including the steps of (i) securing a leading end of the bead wire 14; (ii) winding the bead wire 14 about a former 42 a plurality of revolutions to form the bead 10 into a desired cross-sectional shape; and (iii) cutting the bead wire 14 after a last revolution 28 about the former 42. The method being characterized by (iv) anchoring the trailing end 12 of the bead wire 14 by driving it into the bead 10. The driving of the trailing end 12 forces the trailing end 12 between at least two previously wound, abutting revolutions of the bead wire 14, at least temporarily separating the respective revolutions.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for a sub forming an elastomeric extrusion into a bead apex filler and for applying the same to an annular bead (120) to form a bead/apex subassembly for use in the construction of a pneumatic tire. The apex filler (100) is formed from a triangular shaped extrusion (8) that is initially wrapped around a rotating mandrel (40) having a diameter of between about 50% to about 75% of the outer diameter of the annular bead to which the filler is attached. A helical former (50, 60) disposed around the mandrel causes the extrusion to move in a helical path as it traverses the mandrel. As the extrusion is removed from the mandrel, the extrusion is sufficiently uncoiled to relieve and compressive or tensile stresses. Then, the partially uncoiled extrusion is wrapped around the outer periphery of the bead to form a bead/apex filler subassembly (118) which is substantially without compressive or tensile stresses when mounted onto the tire being constructed.
