An apparatus for upturning a tire-building component on a tire-building drum has a roller lever. To provide an apparatus which is capable of upturning a tire-building component on a tire-building drum, and which achieves the upturn of the tire-building component without defects, in particular unintended creasing in the side wall, it is proposed that, during the procedure of preparation for upturning, a spacer provides separation between the roller and the segment in such a way that the roller is in essence in contact exclusively with the tire-building component. The roller therefore rolls along the tire-building component.

Device for turning up a tire-building component on a tire-building drum

Device for turning up sidewalls of a tire. The device includes a first lever supporting body arranged on a first side of a drum center and being movable in an axial direction. A first lever system pivotally connected to the first lever supporting body. A second lever supporting body arranged on a second side of the drum center and being movable in an axial direction. A second lever system pivotally connected to the second lever supporting body. The first and second sides are arranged on opposite sides of the drum center. A base spindle is adapted to move the first and second lever supporting bodies in an axial synchronous manner relative to each another.

The invention relates to a feeding device for strip-shaped tire components. The inventive device is situated in a conveying device for a tire construction drum. The feeding device comprises one or several storage means, feeding and cutting devices pertaining thereto as well as transport devices by means of which the cut tire components are transported to the tire construction drum. The transport devices which withdraw the tire component from the storage means and position said tire component under the cutting device and the transport devices which transport the cut tire component to the tire construction drum are configured as an interconnected one-piece transport system in a transport line. The transport system can be displaced between a rear cutting and feeding position and a support position that is moved to the front. The conveying devices are arranged in such a way that the one-piece transport system engages with the cutting devices in the rear position thereof. The conveying devices and the one-piece transport system are provided with holding and fixing devices for the tire component. The holding and fixing devices can be carried to the tire component and fix the tire component during displacement of the one-piece transport system, whereby said component has been withdrawn from the storage means and, after cutting, remains adjacent to the storage means in relation to the cutting line. Said holding and fixing devices also fix the tire component that is already fed to the one-piece transport system.

Feeding device for strip shaped tire components

A method for conveying a strip of plastically deformable material to a processing device includes the step of conveying the strip in a conveying direction toward the processing device. Cross-sectional areas of the strip are deformed relative to one another perpendicular to the conveying direction, whereby the cross-sectional areas extend perpendicular to the conveying direction and are sequentially arranged in the conveying direction, such that the cross-sectional areas each have one side delimiting one side of the strip, that form together an edge of the strip. The edge extends parallel to the conveying direction and remains parallel to the conveying direction until the strip reaches the processing device. A device for performing the method includes a straightening device for straightening the lateral limiting edge of the strip conveyed on the conveying table.
