A module (,) used for the manufacture of tires, comprising an inflatable flexible bladder (,) provided with two beads (,) which is used for the assembling and vulcanization of the tire on the bladder, each bead being anchored on a plate (,). The module (,) has at least one rigid wall mounted on a plate (,) which is adjacent said flexible bladder (,) when the latter is inflated and can be retracted so as to be able to separate the tire from said module (,) after vulcanization and can be spread out radially so as to constitute a reference surface for the assembling of the tire.

Tire assembling and vulcanization

The present invention proposes a machine for the manufacture of tires on a core 1 which is used for the manufacture of said tires from the start of the assembling until the vulcanizing. The machine comprises, arranged adjacent to each other on a frame 5, a tire assembly station 2 comprising means for forming the raw tire by depositing the different compounds on the core 1 in the order and place required by the architecture of the tire, a vulcanization station 3, and a support handling station 4, as well as a crane 7 for transporting the core 1 between the different stations.

The machine comprises, arranged adjacent to each other on a frame 5, a tire assembly station 2 comprising means for forming the raw tire by depositing the different compounds on the core 1 in the order and place required by the architecture of the tire, a vulcanization station 3, and a support handling station 4, as well as a crane 7 for transporting the core 1 between the different stations.

A module (1) used for the manufacture of tires, comprising an inflatable flexible bladder (10) provided with two beads (11) which is used for the assembling and vulcanization of the tire on the bladder, each bead being anchored on a plate (30, 31). The module (1) has at least one rigid wall mounted on a plate (30, 31) which is adjacent said flexible bladder (10) when the latter is inflated and can be retracted so as to be able to separate the tire from said module (1) after vulcanization and can be spread out radially so as to constitute a reference surface for the assembling of the tire.

The continuous mixing apparatus for preparing a rubber composition has a mixing chamber accommodating at least one rotor rotating in a stator and extending between an upstream end and a downstream end between which the material progressively passes. The base elastomers are introduced at the upstream end of the mixing chamber by means of volumetric pumps capable of delivering the said base polymers under pressure. It has members for the dosaging and forced introduction of the other components, to arranged along the mixing chamber at at least two longitudinally separated positions between the upstream end and the downstream end.

Method for continuous mixing of rubber

An apparatus and method for heating and stirring a charge of a heat-exchange fluid under pressure for the curing of tires in which both a turbine and an electric motor for driving the turbine are enclosed within a fluid-tight enclosure and in which the turbine and the rotor and stator of the electric motor are entirely immersed within the heat-exchange fluid.

Vulcanization of tires by imparting heat from the inside

The peripheral ring of a sector mold for tires is formed of an assembly of plates 1 resting against each other and stacked in such a manner as to push each other back. The ring therefore has a continuous tendency to increase in diameter. This tendency is resisted, for instance, by a conical hoop which simultaneously pushes all the plates 1 radially in molding direction.

The continuous mixing apparatus for preparing a rubber composition has a mixing chamber accommodating at least one rotor rotating in a stator and extending between an upstream end and a downstream end between which the material progressively passes. The base elastomers are introduced at the upstream end of the mixing chamber by means of volumetric pumps capable of delivering the said base polymers under pressure. It has members for the dosaging and forced introduction of the other components, arranged along the mixing chamber at at least two longitudinally separated positions between the upstream end and the downstream end.

Apparatus for the continuous mixing of rubber

A tire vulcanization apparatus in which an encaser 3 makes it possible to introduce a tire into a mold 1 and, by means of inductors 42, transfers to the mold heat energy necessary for vulcanization and in which a chamber 5 receives several molds 1 and makes it possible to maintain each mold insulated from the environment in order to limit heat losses during the time necessary for the vulcanization.

Process and apparatus for the vulcanizing of tires

A thread, intended to form a carcass reinforcement, is wound in contiguous hoops on a rigid core through an eyelet fastened on a chain mounted on pulleys arranged around the core. The eyelet carries out a reciprocating movement around the core so as to progressively and contiguously lay a hoop upon each forward movement and a hoop upon each return movement.

Apparatus for the manufacture of a tire in which the carcass

A process and apparatus for arranging cut lengths of reinforcement cords in parallel on a moving rubber surface by feeding the cord into successive cord receiving receptacles on a rotor, cutting predetermined lengths of the cords introduced into the receptacles, removing the cords from the receptacles by a comb which intermeshes with the rotor and advancing and guiding the parallel cords onto the moving rubber surface.

Cord reinforcement of rubber material

The laying of pieces 40 of cord 4 is assured by a laying tube 30 which receives the cord by placing its inlet facing the outlet of a cord distributor, the knife 85 of which cuts the cord just upstream of the laying tube 30. At the end of the laying tube 30 there is disposed a laying head 32 which is displaced transversely along the support 1 on which the reinforcement is built. The angle of laying of the cord is adjusted by judiciously coordinating the transverse speed of displacement of the head 32 and the speed of rotation of the support 1.

Method for the manufacture of a crown reinforcement for tires

The peripheral ring of a sector mold for tires is formed of an assembly of plates 1 resting against each other and stacked in such a manner as to push each other back. The ring therefore has a continuous tendency to increase in diameter. This tendency is resisted, for instance, by a conical hoop which simultaneously pushes all the plates 1 radially in the molding direction.
