Abstract
Apparatus for highly reliably cutting a rubber strip () even when reinforcement cords are embedded therein, and for shaping the upper surfaces of the trailing end of a resultant rubber band member () and the leading end of the remaining rubber strip () to have a slope inclined with a small angle relative to the general plane of the rubber strip () or rubber band member (). An anvil () and a press cutter/shaper () are arranged opposite to each other, and a cutting blade () is gradually inserted into an anvil groove (), with at least one surface () of the blade () pressed against a periphery () of the anvil groove (). The cutting blade () protrudes from the boundary between inclined a pair of shaping surfaces () towards the anvil, and has a cutting blade angle (F) that is smaller than angle (G) between the inclined shaping surfaces ().
