Abstract: In order to facilitate the assembly of a tire component like an Off the Road tire shoulder wedge, it is proposed to extrude this component with a high tack compound coating at its periphery by using a dual extruder which otherwise can extrude the tire component with a first high tack compound coating on one side, combined with an assembly for the extruder comprising a splice bar, a holder and a die which are designed to provide a channel deriving and guiding a portion of the high tack compound of the extruder to the stream of compounds before extrusion through the die, on a side opposite to the first coating, thereby providing a coating at almost the whole periphery of the component.

Abstract: A splice bar for a tire tread die designed for providing a narrow strip of electrically conductive rubber extending from a lower under tread to the surface of the outer tread by positioning a slotted chimney block in a the outer tread rubber passage and having a passage between the chimney slot and the under tread rubber passage specially shaped for improving the flow of rubber during extrusion. This passage is essentially straight for guiding a strip-shaped stream of rubber of the under tread to the chimney slot. The passage intersects the rear surface of the splice bar to form a generally rectangular shaped corridor extending from the rear surface to the chimney slot.
