초록 ▼

An apparatus for forming a continuous preparation ply of the type used to make vehicle tires from preparation ply sections having nonmetallic cords. An infeed conveyor successively feeds the preparation ply sections to a butt splicing machine that joins the ends of the two preparation ply sections to form a butt joint. A gum strip applier receives the continuous preparation ply from an outfeed conveyor and applies a gum strip over the butt joint. A method is provided for forming a continuous preparation ply by first automatically forming a butt joint, and thereafter automatically placing a gum strip on the butt joint.

대표청구항 ▼

1. A method for forming a butt joint between ends of first and second plies to splice the first and second plies together, the method comprising: providing first and second plies;providing pairs of upper racks extending end-to-end having first upper racks pivotable with respect to nonpivotable second upper racks;providing pairs of lower racks extending end-to-end adjacent the pairs of upper racks, the pairs of lower racks having first lower racks pivotable with respect to nonpivotable second lower racks;positioning an end of the first ply on the first lower racks;positioning an end of the second ply on the second lower racks;clamping the first and second plies between the pairs of upper racks and the pairs of lower racks;pivoting the first upper racks to engage with the nonpivotable second upper racks and pivoting the first lower racks to engage with the nonpivotable second lower racks to move the end of the first ply against the end of the second ply while the second ply is held stationary by the nonpivotable second upper and lower racks, and to firmly press the first and second plies together to define a splice; andupon contact between the ends of the first and second plies with one another, sliding the first lower racks over a first surface of the first ply until the first lower racks fully engage with the nonpivotable second lower racks, and sliding the first upper racks over a second surface of the first ply until the first upper racks fully engage with the nonpivotable second upper racks. 2. The method of claim 1 further comprising automatically substantially simultaneously engaging all first upper racks with all nonpivotable second upper racks, andall first lower racks with all nonpivotable second lower racks. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: unclamping the first and second plies from between the plurality of pairs of upper and lower racks while the first upper racks and the nonpivotable second upper racks remain fully engaged to one another and the first lower racks and the nonpivotable second lower racks remain fully engaged to one another; anddisengaging the first upper racks from the nonpivotable second upper racks and the first lower racks from the nonpivotable second lower racks. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the spliced ends of the first and second plies are oriented substantially parallel to the orientation of a plurality of cords making up the first and second plies. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: applying a gum strip over the splice. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein positioning the end of the second ply on the second lower racks includes conveying the second ply in a travel direction toward the pairs of lower racks, the method further comprising: sensing a position of the end of the second ply; andin response to the sensing, interrupting conveyance of the second ply such that the end of the second ply lies in a predetermined position relative to the pairs of lower racks. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the pairs of lower racks have teeth, and positioning the end of the second ply on the second lower racks includes interrupting conveyance of the second ply in the travel direction such that the end of the second ply lies over the teeth of the nonpivotable second lower racks at a location spaced from the ends of the teeth by a distance less than about half the length of the teeth. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein positioning the end of the second ply on the nonpivotable second lower racks includes conveying the second ply in a travel direction toward the pairs of lower racks, the travel direction being substantially perpendicular to the splice. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first and second plies include non-metallic cords. 10. A method of forming a continuous material ply of the type used to make vehicle tires, the continuous material ply being made by joining material ply sections to define a splice between them, the method comprising: providing pairs of upper racks having teeth, extending end-to-end, and having first upper racks pivotable with respect to nonpivotable second upper racks;providing pairs of lower racks having teeth and extending end-to-end adjacent the pairs of upper racks, the pairs of lower racks having first lower racks pivotable with respect to nonpivotable second lower racks;positioning an end of a first material ply section over teeth of the first lower racks;positioning an end of a second material ply section over teeth of the nonpivotable second lower racks by conveying the second material ply section in a travel direction toward the pairs of lower racks, the travel direction being substantially perpendicular to the splice;clamping the first and second material ply sections between the pairs of upper racks and the pairs of lower racks;pivoting the first upper and first lower racks to simultaneously engage teeth of all first upper racks with teeth of all nonpivotable second upper racks, andteeth of all first lower racks with teeth of all nonpivotable second lower racks to move the end of the first material ply section against the end of the second material ply section while the second material ply section is held stationary by the nonpivotable second upper and lower racks to splice the first and second material ply sections together; andupon contact between the ends of the first and second material ply sections with one another, sliding the first lower racks over a first surface of the first material ply section until the first lower racks fully engage with the nonpivotable second lower racks, and sliding the first upper racks over a second surface of the first ply until the first upper racks fully engage with the nonpivotable second upper racks. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the first and second material ply sections include non-metallic cords.
