Abstract: This invention describes a scheme for absorbing the energy of floating bodies such as ships approaching the coastal wall by providing the coastal wall with fenders made of spring materials along with dash-pots that absorb the energy of the approaching floating body due to liquid resistance so that the energy is first absorbed by the springs of the fender in the form of displacement energy and is then dissipated by the dash-pots.

Abstract: A cutting device for use in cutting a cylindrical material around a mandrel into annular bodies of the desired width. This device has a first moving table to move in the axial direction of the mandrel, a second moving table to move on the first moving table in the radial direction of the mandrel, a cutter support carrying a first cutter adjustable in position in the radial direction of the mandrel and/or a second cutter adjustable in the axial direction of the mandrel, and a control unit with a device for detecting the position of each moving table, a device for receiving output signals from the detecting device and comparing the position with position data set beforehand and a driving circuit to move each moving table according to output signals from the comparing device.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus for supplying a bead portion in a tire-forming machine. The apparatus consists in carrying out the steps of assembling an inner liner, carcass ply and others in the cylindrical form of a band, transferring the band by band transfer means onto a carcass-forming drum arranged on the same shaft as said transfer means, incorporating the bead portion and a tread portion by stitching, which apparatus comprises a bead-temporary applying device for supplying beads at a headstock, said device being provided at the side of said carcass-forming drum toward said band transfer means.

Abstract: An improved tire loading apparatus for a tire vulcanizing machine is disclosed which includes a plurality of tire clamping shoes arranged radially relative to the center thereof, the tire clamping shoes being adapted to move outwardly or inwardly in the radial direction, wherein an annular centering ring is provided for restricting radial movement of the tire clamping shoes.
