Abstract: An improvement is achieved in productivity of a tire by preventing an unacceptably molded green tire, which is produced in a molding process, from flowing to a vulcanizing process. Measures therefor comprise putting an unvulcanized green tire on a mount surface of a mount stage, sticking an information label to a side wall of the green tire with a label sticking device arranged below a through-hole formed in a position, which corresponds to an inside of a bead body of the green tire, on the mount surface, and measuring a weight of the green tire with a gravimeter, which supports the mount stage.

Abstract: In obliquely cutting a belt band-shaped material (B) to a predetermined length and joining belt material pieces (b) as cut to fabricate a belt member (B10) for a tire, according to the invention, a space, in which an apparatus is mounted, is decreased, a belt member of good quality and high accuracy of joining is manufactured, a cut processing section (A1) for a band-shaped material and an alignment processing section (A2) for belt material pieces as cut are arranged in parallel, in the cut processing section, whenever the band-shaped material (B) is intermittently forwarded, a leading end portion of the band-shaped material is held on a holding table 40 and obliquely cut by a cutter unit (30), the belt material pieces (b) as cut are attracted and held on an underside of a holding member (53) of a transfer unit (T) to be transferred onto and placed on an alignment conveyor (60) with oblique cut ends trued up, and in the alignment processing section, whenever a belt material piece (b) is transferred, the align

Abstract: The invention can perform building in a process for building a carcass band or a belt/tread band of a tire, in which two drum transfer support bases (10) supporting building drums (D1) are alternately shifted to first and second transfer sections (11), (12), in which predetermined building positions are set, a rotational transfer device (A) for rotational transfer of the drum transfer support bases (10) is mounted between the first transfer section (11) and the second transfer section (12), which are arranged to get out of position relative to and in parallel to each other, and two pairs of rotational transfer rails (27a), (28a) are juxtaposed on a rotating table (20), which has an axis (O) intermediate between the both transfer sections, to be positioned corresponding to extensions of travel rails (11a), (12a) arranged on the first and second transfer sections (11), (12) to receive two drum transfer support bases (10), (10), which enter from portions of the rails (11a), (12a) of the both transfer sections (1

Abstract: A strip member is wound by a tire building machine having a building drum for taking up a strip member of predetermined length without discrete ends and a transfer conveyor for feeding the strip member to the building drum. The winding-start end of the strip member transferred from the transfer conveyor to the building drum and the winding-finish end of the strip member are detected by means of end sensors, measuring the angle through which the building drum has rotated from the output of a winding start signal to the output of a winding finish signal in response to output signals from the sensors by means of an angle detector. A lapping margin between the winding start end and the winding finish end of the strip member is calculated based on the rotational angle and diameter of the building drum by means of an operational means.

Abstract: A strip winding system for a tire building machine which comprises a vertically swingable frame disposed below and forwardly of a tire building drum, a slide frame adapted to move back and forth along the longitudinal axis of the swing frame, which slide frame carries a strip transport belt, a longitudinally stationary cutting bed, a traveling cutter and a longitudinally movable cutting bed as disposed in that order, the cutting beds having suction orifices opening on the juxtaposed upper surfaces thereof, and a clamp for fixing the conveyance run of the transport belt. Both of the cutting beds may be stationary in the longitudinal direction. The system permits winding of the strip under no tension, and since the strip B is fixed both forwardly and rearwardly of the cutting line, insures rectilinear cutting.
