Abstract: A plurality of rollers each having a rotary shaft parallel to a rotary shaft of a rotary support body are moved toward a tire member in a synchronized manner so that the tire member is disposed between the plurality of rollers and the rotary support body while the rollers are brought into contact with at least one of the rotary support body and the tire member supported by the rotating rotary support body and the rotary support body is contracted in a state where the tire member is disposed between the plurality of rollers and the rotary support body so that the tire member is delivered from the rotary support body to the plurality of rollers.

Abstract: Provided is a mouthpiece for an extruder provided at an extruder extruding a flowable molding material, including: a molding material flow passage; a molding material extrusion port formed at a front end of the molding material flow passage; and one or plural flow resistance members provided to advance into and withdraw from the molding material flow passage, the advancing and the withdrawing being performed by an operation at the outside of the mouthpiece for the extruder.

Abstract: A triangular-shaped filler rubber is held in an upright posture to be wound around an outer peripheral surface of a bead core supported by a rotary support body, and in joining a leading end and a trailing end of the filler rubber cut to a predetermined length, the neighborhood of the leading end and the neighborhood of the trailing end, respectively, are interposed by first and second interposing means, and one of the interposing means is displaced toward the other from a state, in which the leading end and the trailing end are opposed to each other whereby end surfaces of the leading end and the trailing end are butted against each other.

Abstract: A triangular-shaped can be held in an upright posture to be stuck to an outer peripheral surface of a bead core and a leading end and a trailing end can be butted against each other a crack. A filler rubber is held uprightly to be wound around an outer peripheral surface of a bead core supported by a rotary support body, and in joining a leading end and a trailing end of the filler rubber cut to a predetermined length, the neighborhood of the leading end and the neighborhood of the trailing end, respectively, are interposed by first and second interposing means and one of the interposing means is displaced toward the other from a state, in which the leading end and the trailing end are opposed to each other whereby end surfaces of the leading end and the trailing end are butted against each other.

Abstract: A filler rubber being triangular-shaped in cross section can be held in an upright posture to be stuck to an outer peripheral surface of a bead core and a leading end and a trailing end can be butted against each other to be joined without the generation of crack. A filler rubber (F) is held in an upright posture to be wound around an outer peripheral surface of a bead core (C) supported by a rotary support body (10), and in joining a leading end (F1) and a trailing end (F2) of the filler rubber cut to a predetermined length, the neighborhood of the leading end and the neighborhood of the trailing end, respectively, are interposed by first and second interposing means (50), (70), and one (50) of the interposing means is displaced toward the other from a state, in which the leading end (F1) and the trailing end (F2) are opposed to each other whereby end surfaces of the leading end (F1) and the trailing end (F2) are butted against each other.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of an ink-jet head comprises the steps of: laminating with an adhesive a first plate having a nozzle hole that ejects an ink droplet and a second plate having a communication hole; and applying pressure to the first and second plates in their laminated direction. In the step of laminating, an opening of the nozzle hole is included within an opening of the communication hole on an interface between the first plate and the second plate. In the step of applying pressure, pressure is applied to only a region outside of the opening of the communication hole with respect to a plane parallel to planes of the first and second plate.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing a nozzle plate for an ink-jet print head. The nozzle plate includes (a) a substrate having an outside surface which is to be opposed to a print media, an inside surface which is opposite to the outside surface and nozzle holes which are formed through the substrate so as to be open in the outside and inside surfaces, and (b) a non-wetting layer which has a non-wetting characteristic and which covers the outside surface of the substrate. The manufacturing process includes: (i) a masking step of applying a resist on the inside surface of the substrate, and charging the nozzle holes with the insulating material such that portions of the resist protrude outwardly from openings of the nozzle holes on the outside surface; (ii) a non-wetting-layer forming step of forming the non-wetting layer on the outside surface in a plating operation; and (iii) an unmasking step of removing the resist from the substrate.
