Tool for laying a strip for producing a green tire blank comprising:
- a support, and
- an arm bearing a strip extrusion member and a strip applicator roller, the arm being articulated with respect to the support about a first axis parallel to a geometric axis of the roller and about a second axis tangential to a circumference of the roller, of the first and second axes at least one passing through a centre of gravity (G) of the arm.
Method for creating a green tire blank, comprising producing by at least one arm a strip by extrusion and applying by a roller of the arm that strip to a receiver having a surface exhibiting symmetry of revolution, the arm pivoting with respect to a support of the arm about a first axis parallel to a geometric axis of the roller and about a second axis tangential to a circumference of the roller, of the first and second axes, at least one passing through a centre of gravity (G) of the arm.
