Abstract
An apparatus for manufacturing a tire reinforcement from a cord, cooperating with a substantially toroidal form on which arches of the cord are deposited according to a desired trajectory for the cord on the surface of the form, the apparatus having depositing members arranged on a support, the depositing members including a guide member in which the cord may slide freely, a mechanism for actuating the guide member in a cyclical, to-and-fro, movement, to bring the guide member in successive oscillations into the vicinity of each of the desired ends for the cord in the trajectory. The apparatus further includes a first motor imparting the desired movements to the actuating mechanism and a second motor for imparting to the depositing member support a cyclical movement synchronized with the actuating mechanism, allowing deflection of the final trajectory of the cord on the form.
