Abstract: A device intended for creating a reinforcing strip formed by flattening a tube (t) comprising a first means for dispensing a tape (b) comprising an interleaf (D on one of its faces, at a given linear speed, and a second means comprising two rolls intended to flatten the said tube (t), in which device the said first and second means are able to be set in rotation relative to one another about an axis of rotation (XX?) parallel to the direction (p) in which the tape (b) progresses through the device, so that when the device is operating, the tape (b) is wound in a spiral on itself in contiguous turns to form a tube (t) the axis of which corresponds substantially to the axis (XX?) of rotation of the first means with respect to the second means, characterized in that it comprises a means (3) of calibrating the diameter of the tube (t) and positioned between the first and second means, and in that the said calibration means (3) rests against the exterior surface of the said tube (t), and a separation means (27) po

Abstract: A method of the type in which a strip of rubber is moved continuously from a rubber-supplier device to a consumer device. During the continuous movement and prior to reaching the consumer device, a portion, referred to as the residue, is taken continuously from the strip of rubber. The residue is taken by continuously cutting the strip of rubber. For example, the supplier device includes upstream storage means for storing the strip of rubber from which the strip is moved toward the extruder, and downstream storage means in which the residue is stored. After the strip of rubber on the upstream storage means has been used up, the upstream and downstream storage means are swapped with each other.
