Abstract
A method for applying a strip of elastomeric material to a surface is described. The method of forming a strip of elastomeric material includes the steps of: pumping an elastomeric material through a nozzle, positioning an opening of a nozzle in mating engagement with a rotatable roller, rotating the roller so that rotation of the roller pulls the elastomer material through the outlet of the nozzle, forming a strip.

A method of forming a strip of elastomeric material comprising the steps of:
- pumping an elastomeric material through a nozzle, positioning an opening of a nozzle in mating engagement with a rotatable roller, rotating the roller so that rotation of the roller pulls the elastomer material through the outlet of the nozzle, forming a strip.
The method of claim 14 wherein the outlet of the nozzle is formed between the roller outer surface and an edge of the nozzle.
A method of forming a strip of elastomeric material comprising the steps of:
- positioning a lower curved surface of a nozzle in mating engagement with a rotatable roller, pumping an elastomeric material through the nozzle, said nozzle having an outlet on the lower surface, extruding the molten elastomeric material onto the roller outer surface and then extruding the molten elastomeric material through the outlet of the nozzle forming a shaped strip.
A method of forming a rubber article comprising the steps of:
- positioning a lower curved surface of a nozzle in mating engagement with a rotatable roller, pumping an elastomeric material through the nozzle, said nozzle having an outlet on the lower surface so that the molten elastomeric material is pulled by the rotating roller through the outlet of the nozzle forming a shaped strip, and then applying the strip to a tire building drum.
