Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making conveyor belts in an apparatus having a vulcanizing press. The method minimizes the press opening times and the throughput of the press is thus optimized. With the method, a check is made during the method whether a conveyor belt blank is present for vulcanizing in the press, and depending on the information from this check, the decision is made as to how far the press opens the press plates. Here, an operating open position and a full opening of the press are provided.

Abstract: An apparatus for upturning a tire-building component on a tire-building drum has a roller lever. To provide an apparatus which is capable of upturning a tire-building component on a tire-building drum, and which achieves the upturn of the tire-building component without defects, in particular unintended creasing in the side wall, it is proposed that, during the procedure of preparation for upturning, a spacer provides separation between the roller and the segment in such a way that the roller is in essence in contact exclusively with the tire-building component. The roller therefore rolls along the tire-building component.

Abstract: A method for selecting a driving destination from a set of stored localities, a locality name being inputted for comparison of the inputted locality name with stored locality names, and at least one of the stored localities being determined, from the comparison of the inputted locality name, as a possible driving destination, in which a further locality is determined, a vicinity of the further locality is determined, and a locality determined as possible from the comparison is outputted for selection as a driving destination when the locality is in the determined vicinity of the further locality.

Abstract: A method for selecting a location. At least two lists of locations are depicted in a display, the beginning of the names of the locations in both lists being in agreement with the same previously entered character string and the basic set from which the entries of the lists are determined being different.

Abstract: Device for turning up sidewalls of a tire. The device includes a first lever supporting body arranged on a first side of a drum center and being movable in an axial direction. A first lever system pivotally connected to the first lever supporting body. A second lever supporting body arranged on a second side of the drum center and being movable in an axial direction. A second lever system pivotally connected to the second lever supporting body. The first and second sides are arranged on opposite sides of the drum center. A base spindle is adapted to move the first and second lever supporting bodies in an axial synchronous manner relative to each another.

Abstract: Arrangement and method of building vehicle pneumatic tires. The arrangement has a first production line including a carcass building drum device, a shaping drum device, and a moveable core-centering and carcass-carrying device arranged between the carcass building drum device and the shaping drum device. The moveable core-centering and carcass-carrying device is adapted to receive a carcass from the carcass building drum device and to transfer the carcass the shaping drum device. A second production line includes a movable belt building drum device adapted to build a belt package with at least one belt layer. The movable belt building drum device is adapted to move across the first production line and between the carcass building drum device and the shaping drum device. This Abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a feeding device for strip-shaped tire components. The inventive device is situated in a conveying device for a tire construction drum. The feeding device comprises one or several storage means, feeding and cutting devices pertaining thereto as well as transport devices by means of which the cut tire components are transported to the tire construction drum. The transport devices which withdraw the tire component from the storage means and position said tire component under the cutting device and the transport devices which transport the cut tire component to the tire construction drum are configured as an interconnected one-piece transport system in a transport line. The transport system can be displaced between a rear cutting and feeding position and a support position that is moved to the front. The conveying devices are arranged in such a way that the one-piece transport system engages with the cutting devices in the rear position thereof.

Abstract: A method for conveying a strip of plastically deformable material to a processing device includes the step of conveying the strip in a conveying direction toward the processing device. Cross-sectional areas of the strip are deformed relative to one another perpendicular to the conveying direction, whereby the cross-sectional areas extend perpendicular to the conveying direction and are sequentially arranged in the conveying direction, such that the cross-sectional areas each have one side delimiting one side of the strip, that form together an edge of the strip. The edge extends parallel to the conveying direction and remains parallel to the conveying direction until the strip reaches the processing device. A device for performing the method includes a straightening device for straightening the lateral limiting edge of the strip conveyed on the conveying table.
