Abstract
A drum () for manufacturing a pneumatic tire () is provided with a plurality of clamping jaws () mounted so as to be movable between a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration which allows the clamping jaws () to engage with a bead wire () of the tire (), the clamping jaws () being placed, to this end, under the control of a deployment system () which comprises an articulated parallelogram () having a first, fixed base () secured to a shaft () and a second, mobile base () secured to a clamping jaw (), and a drive mechanism () designed to cooperate with the articulated parallelogram () so that it is possible to select and modify the radial position (d) of the mobile base () with respect to the fixed base () in order to pass from the retracted configuration to the deployed configuration and vice versa.
