Abstract
A process for producing a tire reinforcement is characterized by the fact that each reinforcement cord is projected individually into its place in the reinforcement. For this purpose, a machine is used which comprises laying members comprising essentially a rotary conduit which projects the cord by a radially outer extremity of the conduit and rollers which impose a linear speed of laying of the cord.
Claims10
A machine for the production of a tire reinforcement, the reinforcement comprising adjacent, substantially parallel cords, characterized by the fact that the machine comprises laying members comprising:
- means imposing a linear speed of laying on the reinforcement cord;
- a rotary conduit fastened on a shaft constituting an axis of rotation of the conduit, in such a manner that a radially outer extremity of the conduit is directed substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the conduit, the conduit receiving the reinforcement cord at a base of the conduit which is located approximately on the axis of rotation and projecting the cord in a path along said perpendicular plane through the radially outer extremity into its place to form a reinforcement of adjacent, substantially parallel cords;
- and
- means for cutting the cord.
