Abstract
This invention provides a method of supplying sheet-like materials in which a plurality of sheet-like materials comprising tire constituent materials and cut into a predetermined size are conveyed by an applying conveyor means and applied onto a building drum. A sheet-like material to be assembled is supplied onto a conveyor belt of the applying conveyor means. Another sheet-like material to assemble, which is held on a transfer drum, is laminated onto the material on the conveyor belt sequentially from one of the end sides thereof to the other with press by rotating and moving the transfer drum. Then a laminate body comprising the sheet-like materials is wound on the building drum.
