This invention provides an envelope configuration for retreading tires using a cold-retreading process. Envelopes formed by two parts are known in the prior art. However, the known sealing means between parts are not satisfactory, either due to sealing problems or due to decreasing the envelope useful life. In order to overcome these limitations, this invention provides an envelope (20) comprised of two parts (22, 24), in which an end region (224a) of a flap (224) of the first part (22) is covered by an end region (244a) of a flap (244) of the second part (24), or vice-versa, in order to form an overlapping joint, in which a free end of the flap (224) of the first part (22) has at least one differentiated cross section (224b) whose thickness is greater than that of the flap (224) of the first part (22), and in which the overlapping joint is covered by an elastic ring (26) that is wide enough to cover said differentiated cross section (224b).
An envelope for tire retreading in which a tire carcass is covered by a pre-molded tread having a top with a certain standard of grooves, the envelope being comprised of two parts, the first part having a sidewall from which extends a flap, the sidewall having a form that is able to cover at least part of an external portion of a first side of the carcass and a first shoulder of the tread, and the flap having a form that is able to cover at least part of the top of the tread;
