20140216660 | Transfer Ring Shoe and Transfer Ring Having Varied Shoe Profile - A transfer ring of the type having a plurality of shoes arranged in a substantially circular configuration to define an inwardly-facing segmented cylindrical gripping surface, and a shoe for use in such a transfer ring, are disclosed. Each shoe comprises an arcuate interior surface defining a segment of the cylindrical gripping surface. The interior surface of each shoe has a first arcuate edge and an opposite second arcuate edge arranged substantially parallel to one another, and opposite first and second end edges extending between respective ends of said first and second arcuate edges. Each first and second end edge defines a substantially non-linear shape with each first and second end edge being shaped for mating engagement with an end edge of an adjacent shoe in the circular configuration. | 08-07-2014 |
20160031173 | Transfer Ring Shoe and Transfer Ring Having Varied Shoe Profile - A transfer ring of the type having a plurality of shoes arranged in a substantially circular configuration to define an inwardly-facing segmented cylindrical gripping surface, and a shoe for use in such a transfer ring, are disclosed. Each shoe comprises an arcuate interior surface defining a segment of the cylindrical gripping surface. The interior surface of each shoe has a first arcuate edge and an opposite second arcuate edge arranged substantially parallel to one another, and opposite first and second end edges extending between respective ends of said first and second arcuate edges. Each first end edge of each arcuate surface is mounted adjacent the second end edge of an adjacent arcuate surface, and the first end edge of at least one of the arcuate surfaces defines a varied or irregular shape along its arcuate surface. | 02-04-2016 |

20080308232 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING EXPOSED METAL CORDS IN AN ELASTOMERIC STRIP - A method and apparatus for detecting exposed and partially separated metal cords | 12-18-2008 |
20090126874 | SUPPLY DEVICE FOR A TIRE-BUILDING DRUM - A supply device for a tire-building drum, in particular for a tire-belt drum for building a multilayer tire-belt package for a pneumatic tire, where a plurality of layers of different or differently treated, substantially strip-like pieces of material web are, in succession, placed on, rolled onto, and bonded to one another on the tire-building drum. The supply device has cutting devices in which cut-to-length pieces of material web are formed and then transported to the tire-building drum by a drum supply device, which has two drum feed belts. Two pairs of cutting devices are disposed mutually above one another and assigned to the drum feed belts. The cutting devices are displaceable relative to the drum feed belts such that, in the backward receptive position, the drum feed belts can be brought into active contact in alternation with one of the pairs of cutting devices. The pairs of cutting devices are coupled to advancer belts that are equally arranged in pairs and, together with the cutting devices, can be positioned individually in front of the drum feed belts. The advancer belts and the drum feed belts are laterally moveable with respect to one another. | 05-21-2009 |
20150041067 | COMPONENT APPLYING/CUTTING APPARATUS FOR A TIRE BUILDING MACHINE - An apparatus cuts and applies a component to a tire during a tire building process. The apparatus includes an application head rotatable about a vertical axis and fitted to an X-Y table such that the component is applied to a curved tire profile spinning on a drum of a tire building machine. The application head feeds the component vertically downward to a predetermined position coincident with an intersection of the vertical axis of the application head and a horizontal plane defined by a horizontal axis of rotation of the drum of the tire building machine. | 02-12-2015 |
