An apparatus for producing a pneumatic tire reinforcement, said apparatus being intended to produce a reinforcement consisting of a thread ( 2 ) delivered substantially continuously and on demand by an appropriate delivery device, said apparatus being intended to be used in cooperation with a substantially toroidal form ( 1 ) on which said reinforcement is progressively built up by depositing arches ( 3 ) of said thread along a desired path for said thread on the surface of said form. The apparatus includes: a thread guide ( 4 ) in which the thread can slide; means ( 5 ) for moving said guide along the desired path for said thread; and first and second pressing means ( 7, 8 ) placed respectively on either side of the form and capable of holding the thread against the form substantially at the ends ( 6 ) of said arches, wherein the pressing means comprise, at least on a side (B) of the form, a rotary pressing arm ( 9 ).
