Abstract
A cord is supplied continuously and on demand by a suitable distributor. The apparatus is used with a revolving form () on which the reinforcement is progressively built up by depositing sections of the cord along a desired trajectory for the cord on the surface of the form. The apparatus comprises an element for depositing the cord on the surface of the form (), describing an alternating path between two turning points, pressers close to the turning points in order to apply the cord to the form at the ends of the trajectory, acting synchronously with the depositing element, a mobile guide () disposed opposite the form, in the space between the form and the path described by the depositing element, a fixed guide () substantially parallel to the mobile guide (), control means for moving the mobile guide () in a circumferential direction, and motorization means for synchronously piloting the depositing element, the pressers, and the control means of the mobile guide ().
