Cord aligning method in calender line and apparatus therefor

Abstract

The invention is aimed at shortening time and reducing labor in a work of fitting a multiplicity of cords, respectively, into grooves of a grooved press roll and of a grooved comb roll to align the same in a calender apparatus, in which rubber is topped on the multiplicity of cords as aligned, in an aligning work, the multiplicity of cords are first fitted into grooves on an upper surface side of the comb roll to be aligned, the press roll is then displaced to an alignment transfer position from a standby position close to a topping roll to be opposed to the upper surface side of the comb roll to thereby transfer an aligned state of the cords fitted into the grooves of the comb roll to the press roll as it is to fit the respective cords into grooves of the press roll and to displace the press roll to the standby position while maintaining the fitted state, to set the cords in an aligned state.
