  • Assembly and a method for extruding a tire component
    Patent number: 8580173
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2011
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2013
    Assignee: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company
    Inventors: Damien Ghislain Clausse, Marc Jean Kerger, Kim Clement Nicolas Pirrotte, Philippe Nicolas Joseph Renard
