PCT No. PCT/JP90/00030 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 7, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 7, 1990 PCT Filed Jan. 12, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/08031 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 26, 1990.A chuck (4) grasping the front edge or a tire component material (S) which is supplied from a material feeder (3) generates a motional locus through an initial ascending motion and through a forward motion toward the former and through a subsequent descending motion to the former to lay the front edge onto the carcass (T). A pressing mechanism (6) operates to press the introduced material (S) on the carcass (T), and concurrently the former (2) rotates by a predetermined rotation angle to adhere the tire component material (S) onto the carcass (T). Thereafter a cutter assembly (5) operates to cut the tire component material (S) in a length corresponding to the sum of a required length for joint and a full circumferential length of the carcass. The former (2) rotates again to adhere the tire component material (S) onto the full circumference of the carcass (T), and the front edge and a last edge of the tire component material are jointed by the pressing mechanism (6) so that the adhesion is completed. The method and the apparatus for adhering tire component material when compared with the manual work of the workers, enables a sharp improvement of the productivity to be made due to automation and no longer requires a high degree of worker's skill. Additionally, the quality of the products becomes stable and high, and the tire uniformity is improved.
