Method for applying a tread band to a tire and a tread band applying apparatus

摘要

A method and apparatus for applying a tread band onto a tire carcass of a tire which is to be fabricated or a tire which is to be retreaded are provided and include feeding a tread band onto the tire carcass via a tread band feed device while the tire carcass is rotated and in conjunction with the pressing of the tread band against the tire carcass by a pressing device. The tread band has a shorter length before its application onto the tire carcass than its length following the application thereof onto the tire carcass. A tension force is exerted on the tread band via at least one clamp clamped on the rearward end of the tread band to produce thereby a constant tension in the tread band.
