Method and apparatus for highly efficiently forming a tire reinforcing layer on an outer peripheral surface of a rigid core (13), in which ribbon pieces (33) each comprised of parallel rubber-coated cords (17) are successively adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the core (13) in a circumferential direction thereof, with the side edges of the ribbon pieces in close contact with those of adjacent ribbon pieces. A plurality of cords (17) can be set by one adhering operation, thereby reducing the number of adhering operations in forming a tire reinforcing layer. <IMAGE> |
