BEAD FEED METHOD AND BEAD FEED APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bead feed method capable of performing the feeding and loading of a molded bead regardless of the alteration of a bead size to easily perform multikind and small-quantity production and capable of achieving the reduction of the number of work processes and the enhancement of productivity, and a bead feed apparatus. SOLUTION: The bead feed apparatus has a bead molding apparatus 1 for winding a rubber coated bead wire W a plurality of times to mold the ring-shaped molded bead Wx having a predetermined diameter, a yarn winding device 12 for winding the bundled yarn Q unwound from a yarn raw fabric unwinding device 11 around the wire terminal part Wa of the molded bead Wx to fix the same, a bead delivery device 2 for feeding the molded bead Wx to which the wire terminal part Wa is fixed to a self-traveling position Z and a chuter 3a having a predetermined angleα1 of inclination for allowing the molded bead Wx to self-travel to a bead locating position G and constituted so that the stocker device 4 of an annular separator S is installed at a symmetric position on the side opposite to the bead self-traveling position Z of the molded bead Wx and the chuter 3b of the separator S having a predetermined angleα2 of inclination is installed.
