Abstract: A method and apparatus 100 for forming an annular elastomeric tire component has the steps of extruding at least one elastomeric material annularly onto a support surface 60 and shaping the at least one strip 2 of elastomeric material to a predetermined profile by forming the at least one strip 2 of material between a shaping die 84 and the support surface 60 thereby smoothing and spreading the strip to the desired profile. The method may include applying additional strips 2 to form multilayered components. The support surface 60 may be separate from a tire building station 200 or may be integral to a tire building station 200. The formed strips may include any one or more tire components such as a sidewall 20, a chafer 30, a bead apex 10, ply stock coatings 40, an innerliner 50, or a tread 22.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a mold having a wall with a recess defined therein and magnetic means, wherein an associated insert is adapted to be selectively held within the recess via the magnetic means, such that the insert is substantially flush with the wall. Using the magnetic inserts in both the upper and lower mold halves results in a tire identification number being imprinted on both sides of a tire during a curing cycle. The inserts are easily and quickly changed so that down time during production is minimized, tire appearance is improved, and eliminates tire scrap.

Abstract: Apparatus for application of a band of material onto the side of a circular body of revolution such as a tire. The apparatus includes a rotatable carrier for the body, means for rotating the body on the carrier and band application means adjacent the carrier. The band application means includes means for supplying a continuous band of material in the form of a two layer band which is made up of a first band of material for application to the side of the body and a protective foil covering a surface of the band. Guide means are provided to guide the two layer band from the supply means to the body for application of the first band onto a side of the body, and means are provided for pressing the first band onto the side of the body while the body is rotating. The band application means further includes means for cutting off the first band after application of the first band of material to the side of a body, and the guide means includes a guide member for the two layer band positioned close to the location where the first band is applied to the side of the body and around which guide member the protective foil is drawn. The apparatus further includes driven roller means for positively engaging the protective foil to separate the protective foil from the first band and to provide a feeding of the two layer band from the supply means for application to the body. The means for pressing the first band onto the side of the body comprises a resilient roller which is freely rotatable.

Abstract: A standardization system for the manufacture of tires is provided. The same size tire components can be used in the summit of tires having different sizes i.e., tires having different section widths, sidewall heights, and/or aspect ratios. A matrix of tire sizes can be associated with one or more tire summit parameters. The matrix can be used for the manufacture of tires having one or more standardized components by holding substantially constant the value of one or more tire summit parameters across a diagonal of the matrix.

Abstract: An unvulcanized rubber extruder that realizes extrusion forming of an unvulcanized rubber extrudate ensuring manufacturing of a high-quality tire without any increase of tire manufacturing steps. In the vicinity of left side end portion, in the drawing, of unvulcanized rubber (A) (rubber chafer part), unvulcanized rubber (B) flows along parallel wall (56) on the downside of main rubber flow channel (34) and flows along second inclined surface (38) on the upside of the main rubber flow channel (34). Simultaneously, apart from the main flow of the unvulcanized rubber (B), portion of the unvulcanized rubber (B) is extruded out in the direction perpendicular to auxiliary rubber flow channel (44) (arrow B direction). Accordingly, in the left side end portion, in the drawing, of unvulcanized rubber (A) (rubber chafer part), it appears that the upside and downside are shut in by the flow of the unvulcanized rubber (B).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying 3-D coordinates of a target region on a tire includes: taking a digital image of a tire; finding an edge of a tire bead using pixel brightness values from the tire image; calculating tire bead circle center and radius using a plurality of image pixels on the tire bead edge; and performing a pixel brightness search around the bead circumference using the bead circle's center and radius to identify the target area X, Y coordinates. The Z-coordinate and slope of the target area are determined from multiple point distance calculations across the region.
