Abstract
An annular side wall rubber is injection molded, a forming mold is mold released while retaining the side wall rubber in an unvulcanized state, and a side surface of the side wall rubber is exposed annularly. Further, a lower mold of the forming mold is moved close to a carcass body in which a center portion is evaginated to an outer side in a diametrical direction, on a forming drum, and the side surface of the side wall rubber is attached to a side portion of the carcass body. Thereafter, the side wall rubber is released from the forming mold by moving the lower mold away from the carcass body.
Claims3
A manufacturing method of a pneumatic tire comprising:
- a step of setting an annular bead in both sides in a width direction of a cylindrical carcass ply and winding up an end portion of the carcass ply via the bead so as to form a carcass body having a bead portion;
- and
- a step of attaching a rubber member to the carcass body so as to form an unvulcanized tire,
- wherein the method comprising:
- a first step of forming an annular rubber member by injection pouring an unvulcanized rubber composition material into a cavity of a forming mold, mold releasing the forming mold while retaining the rubber member in an unvulcanized state, and exposing a side surface of the rubber member annularly;
- a second step of attaching the exposed side surface of the rubber member to the side portion of the carcass body by moving the mold portion of the forming mold retaining the rubber member close to the carcass body in which a center portion is evaginated to an outer side in a diametrical direction;
- and
- a third step of releasing the rubber member from the forming mold by moving the mold portion away from the carcass body, after the second step.
