Problems solved by technology

[0028] The applicant has noted that, particularly in the case of protective films of the same size as the noise reducing element, automatic removal of the aforementioned protective film would be problematic due to the difficulty in producing initial detachment of the protective film from the surface of the noise reducing element

Embodiment Construction

[0118] figure 1 In the figure, reference number 1 designates as a whole an exemplary embodiment of a device for automatically applying noise-reducing elements to wheel tires according to the invention.

[0119] image 3 , 4 The tire shown at and 6 and indicated with 500 is preferably a tire for a four-wheeled vehicle, preferably a high performance vehicle.

[0120] Said apparatus 1 is used to automatically apply a plurality of noise reducing elements, all indicated at 100 in the figures attached hereto, to the radially inner surface 501 of a tire 500 . Such as Figure 6 As shown in , the noise reduction elements 100 are glued successively along the circumferential direction of the tire 500 , and preferably, are glued successively in a symmetrical manner with respect to the axial middle plane M of the tire 500 .

[0121] image 3 and 4 A further tire is shown, denoted by 600, to which further tire 600 the noise reducing element 100 is glued again by means of the apparatus...

Abstract

The present invention describes a method and apparatus for automatically applying a noise reducing element (100) to a tire for a vehicle wheel. The method comprises: a) providing a noise reducing element (100); b) providing an adhesive material (50a); c) guiding said noise reducing element (100) according to a predetermined direction; d) during said guiding, placing said an adhesive material (50a) is applied to a first surface of said noise reducing element (100); e) manipulating said noise reducing element by interacting with at least one second surface of said noise reducing element (100) ( 100), said at least one second surface is different from said first surface to which said tacky material (50) has been applied; f) positioning said noise reducing element (100) on the diameter of said tire (500) A predetermined position on the inner surface (501), so that the first surface is in contact with the radially inner surface (501).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for automatically applying noise reducing elements to tires for vehicle wheels. Background technique [0002] The term "automatic" is used to indicate operations performed by mechanical means that do not require manual intervention by an operator. The expression "mechanical device" is used to denote all mechanical, electromechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic devices which can be controlled by suitable software. [0003] The expression "noise-reducing element" is used to denote an element which, after being attached to a tire for a vehicle wheel, has the ability to reduce the noise generated by the tire during use. This capability is preferably provided to the aforementioned elements by the type of material from which they are made. Suitable materials for this purpose are, for example, sound-absorbing materials such as open-celled polyurethane foam. [0004] The term "elastomeric" is used to denote ...
