Application of sidewall to a tire carcass

摘要

A simple practical space saving device applies sidewall to a tire carcass on a building drum and cuts off the appropriate length from a supply of sidewall stock at an acute angle. A carrier has fingers supporting the leading end of the sidewall which fingers move a short horizontal distance from the site of a previous cut to a nip formed between an application roll surface and the carcass. The fingers are each accommodated in an annular slot in the application roll surface. This abstract is not to be taken as limiting the invention of this application, and in order to understand the full nature and extent of the technical disclosure of this application, reference must be made to the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.
