FORFARANDE OCH ANORDNING FOR REGUMMERING OCH REPARATION AV PNEUMATISKA FORDONSDECK

摘要

A method of repairing tires in which an assembly is formed comprising a tread strip applied to the worn surface of a tire carcass with a layer of binder material sandwiched between the tread and the surface of the carcass. A pair of annular shells are applied to the tire sidewalls and seals are formed at the inner and outer edges of the shells in engagement with the tread strip and the beads of the tire. Air is then evacuated from beneath the thus-formed enclosure and the assembly with the enclosure is subjected to heat and pressure to permanently bond the tread to the tire. The enclosure may also include an annular foil surrounding the tread and shrunk thereagainst to press the tread against the worn carcass surface.
