Process and device for transporting a belt construction strip having parallel reinforcing members embedded in a belt construction material for forming a belt for a pneumatic vehicle tire. The process may include feeding the belt construction strip in a feed direction toward a subsequent processing device, such that the feed direction is oblique to the reinforcing members and the belt construction strip includes two lateral sides extending in the feed direction, forming a front edge on a front end of the belt construction strip in the feed direction and a rear edge on a rear end of the belt construction strip in the feed direction, such that the front and rear edges extend obliquely to the feed direction and substantially parallel to the reinforcing members, defining a front tip from a portion of the belt construction strip enclosed by the front edge and one of the two lateral sides, defining a rear tip from a portion of the belt construction strip enclosed by rear edge and the other of the two lateral sides, and feeding the belt construction strip along at least two conveying devices. The process may also include laterally aligning the front tip in accordance with its form and position, laterally aligning the belt construction strip, in a region between the front tip and the rear tip, in accordance with its position, and laterally aligning the rear tip in accordance with its form and position.
A process for transporting a belt construction strip having parallel reinforcing members embedded in a belt construction material for forming a belt for a pneumatic vehicle tire in an apparatus that includes a first and second conveying device arranged to transport the belt construction strip in a feed direction, and the first conveying device is arranged for movement in a direction lateral to the feed direction, comprising:
