<p>A method and apparatus for mechanically booking tire treads. Tire treads sequentially advancing along a first conveyor are fed to a rotating pick-up drum, where they are lifted onto a second conveyor. The second conveyor has rotary arms disposed thereon that project the tread through space onto the leaves of a tread truck. The tread truck includes an indexing unit that individually indexes each of the separate tread truck leaves into a horizontal position to receive a tread thereon. Means is provided to progressively vary the trajectories of the projected treads in order to insure that the treads will be deposited on the proper truck leaves in undistorted condition.</p> |
