Strip rubber adhering method and strip rubber adhering apparatus

A strip rubber adhering method comprising:

• extruding strip rubber of a shape having an apex portion in cross section from an extruder and moving the strip rubber forward toward a rotating drum;
• pressing a surface of the strip rubber on the apex side toward the drum by a rotatable pressure bonding roller, adhering a surface of the strip rubber on the opposite side from the apex portion side to the drum, moving relatively the drum and the extruder with respect to each other in an axial direction of the drum, and adhering the strip rubber to the drum while winding the strip rubber in a spiral manner;
• and
• exposing the surface of the strip rubber on the apex portion side to wind supplied from a blowing apparatus and cooling the surface of the strip rubber on the apex portion side, wherein the exposing comprises:
• exposing the surface of the rubber strip to the wind in the vicinity of a position of adhesion of the strip rubber to the drum such that the wind impinges on a range of the strip before the range is brought into contact with the pressure roller and such that a center of the range exposed to the wind is between the extruder and a position where the strip rubber is pressure bonded by the pressure bonding roller, and
• exposing a portion of the surface of the strip rubber on the apex portion side before being adhered to the drum and a portion of the pressure bonding roller before catching the strip rubber to the wind supplied from the blowing apparatus simultaneously and cooling the portion of the surface of the strip rubber on the apex portion side before being adhered to the drum and the portion of the pressure bonding roller before catching the strip rubber simultaneously, wherein the surface on the opposite side from the apex portion is brought to the adhesion position at a high temperature which is hotter than that of the cooled apex portion side such that adhesion is facilitated.
