Embodiment Construction

[0040] 1-4 show a first embodiment of a tire element applying apparatus 10 of the present invention. The tire elements may be in the form of cut-to-size plies and may be formed from tire liners, plies, or other elements. If the tire element is a cord having a plurality of parallel cords, the cords may be oriented obliquely or radially. Alternately, the tire elements may be of other contours or shapes such as sidewalls, chafers or chippers.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 1 , the tire application apparatus 10 consists of a frame member 20 having a plurality of support legs 22 mounted on a support plate 24 . Crossbars 26 , 28 provide structural support to frame 20 . The support plate 24 may be mounted on a floor or other support structure.

[0042] The crossbar 28 further provides opposite parallel rails 30 movably receiving guides 32 of the upper bracket 44 so that the entire upper bracket can slide on said rails 30 allowing lateral adjustment (Z-Z direction). Actuation rod 40 is...

Abstract

The invention provides a tire assembly and application device with a cutting mechanism and a method for cutting raw material layers. The method includes: positioning a cutting mechanism with a cutting line positioned between a first applicator roll and a second applicator roll; advancing feed material to position the feed material over the cut line; lowering the cutting blade Cut into the raw material, move the cutting blade in the raw material to cut the raw material into layers of required length.

Description

[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 876,323, filed December 21, 2006, which is incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention is primarily concerned with applying a thin tire element such as a ply or innerliner onto a cylinder such as a tire building drum and cutting the tire element prior to application to the cylinder. Background technique [0003] Tire cord or other rubber elements are often applied to tire building drums by conveyor-type devices commonly referred to as applicators. Prior art application equipment typically utilizes conveyor belts to precisely mount the tire elements to the tire building drum. It is important to precisely control the mounting of the tire elements to the forming drum, and especially with regard to the ends of the elements. It is also important that the components are applied as quickly and efficiently as possible. The application conveyor must also be sufficiently retr...
