Latest Patents

**Method for Forming Elastomeric Tire Component and a Tire.** This invention describes a method and apparatus for applying a strip of elastomeric material to a surface. A gear pump feeds the material through channels in a rotating applicator head and out through a nozzle. A rotatably mounted tongue assembly compresses the strip against the surface, supporting its placement during tire-component formation.

**Device for Reducing the Tension on an Elastomeric Feed.** This invention describes a method and device for reducing tension on an elastomeric feed strip. When the strip stops or its tension exceeds a specified value, the device pushes it forward in the direction of travel.
