Abstract
A method of stitching component elements (5) of a radial tire, whereby an inner component element (5b) is placed inside an outer component element (5a) housed inside a toroidal body (7) mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis (8) on a saddle (31) adjustable in width and supported on a carriage (6). A stitching drum (58) is inserted inside the inner component element (5b) and toroidal body (7), and is moved radially upwards to compress the outer component element (5a) between the toroidal body (7) and the inner component element (5b). The saddle (31) is widened so that the toroidal body (7) weighs on the stitching drum (58), and the toroidal body (7) and stitching drum (58) are rotated in relation to each other.
