The member of the tire thus produced is uniform in quality and has a large elongation and improved anti-cutting property.

Abstract: A method is used for producing reinforcing members preferably used in tires. The method comprises steps of causing cords to pass through a plurality of small apertures of a guide plate each for one of the cords to arrange these cords in a predetermined positional relation, winding the cords about winding type braking means, and extending the cords about a dancer roller. Thereafter, the cords are caused to pass through a plurality of small apertures of a movable guide plate each for one of the cords. The movable guide plate is reciprocatively moved in horizontal directions perpendicular to advancing directions of the cords so that the cords are reciprocatively moved onto a calender for rubber coating provided closely adjacent the movable guide plate to embrace the cords in the form of waves between rubber sheets and coat the cords by the rubber sheets, thereby obtaining the reinforcing member.

Abstract: A tire molding apparatus having a hollow rotary shaft, a plurality of first drum segments are arranged substantially in the form of a cylinder around the front end portion of said rotary shaft. The second drum segments are paried with the first drum segments, thus forming a molding drum. A diameter changing mechanism is provided between the rotary shaft and the first and second drum segments for transmitting rotation of said rotary shaft to the first and second drum segments and additionally for moving the first and second drum segments radially. A plurality of threaded shafts, each having both end portions threaded in the opposite directions, are screwed respectively into the first and second drum segments thus paired. Rotation of the threaded shafts causes the first and second drum segments to move towards each other or to move away from each other to change the width of the molding drum.
