Rubber member molding apparatus

Abstract

A rubber member molding apparatus (10) includes an extruding machine (11) that extrudes a long rubber member forward, a nozzle (23) provided as part of the extruding machine (11), an opening end (24) which is the front end of the nozzle (23) and a long rubber member extruding port, upper and lower forming rollers (13, 14) that sandwich the long rubber member extruded from the opening end (24), a gap (18) which is a location formed between the upper and lower forming rollers (13, 14) such that the long rubber member is sandwiched therebetween, and a molding drum (15) to which the long rubber member moved forward after having passed through the gap (18). The opening end (24) is in a circular shape as viewed in a front-back direction, and the area of the opening end (24) is twice to five times the area of the gap (18).
