  • Method for Jointing a Layer of Material in Order to Produce a Green Tire
    Publication number: 20160159024
    Abstract: A method for jointing an external layer (12) of material to a base layer (14) to produce a green tire having an axis of revolution (X), the method comprising: applying the outer layer (12) to the base layer (14), followed by jointing the outer layer (12) to the base layer (14). The jointing step is done using a pressing element (18) surrounding the outer layer (12) and elastically deformable between a configuration called the enlarged configuration and a configuration called the outer-layer (12) pressing configuration, in which the pressing element (18) applies a radial pressure to the outer layer. The jointing step comprises: the passage of the pressing element (18) from the enlarged configuration to the layer-pressing configuration, the movement of the pressing element (18) in the pressing configuration in the axial direction (X) of the green tire.
