TRANSFER DRUM APPLICATRI OF NARROW STING CEMPONENT TO A TRIE BEING BUILT ON A TIRE BUILDING DRUM

摘要

A pair of transfer drums(20, 22) are arranged to move to and away from the strip-forming and are placed in relation with a tire building drum(12) to save building time. Individual strip appliers place two strip components on each transfer drum while the main carcass ply is being wrapped on the building drum. The strip components together are then transferred rapidly and effectively to the tire.
