  • the retaining shells 44 and, hence, the tyre will be displaced operatively upwardly away from the profiling tool 20, the motor 28 will be de-energised, and the tool mount 27 will be rotated through 180°, by energizing the motor 102, so that the profiling tool or roller 22 is in the operative position.
  • the electric rotary motor 108 is now energised so that the roller 22 rotates in a direction opposite to that of the tyre, and the profiling process as hereinbefore described is now repeated.

  • a strip of material to be secured to the profiled tread of the retained tyre is, as hereinbefore mentioned, laid flat onto the feeding bed 162, so that one end of the strip is closely spaced from the urging roller 180. That face of the strip of material which will abut the tread of the tyre, and optionally the tread of the tyre, is then treated with a bonding agent, e.g. an adhesive agent.
  • the urging roller 180 is then displaced towards its feeding condition, and said end of the strip of material is located between the urging roller 180 and the tread of the tyre.
  • the urging roller 180 is then displaced towards the tread of the tyre by means of the piston-and-cylinder assembly 184, so that said end of the strip of material is urged onto the profiled tread of the tyre.
  • the piston- and-cylinder assembly 184 thus permits adjustment of the force with which the strip of material is urged onto the profiled tread of the retained tyre.
  • the tyre retaining means and, accordingly, the tyre is then rotated relatively slowly, with the strip of material being fed and urged onto the profiled tread of the tyre as it rotates.
  • the fact that the base 152 of the feeder assembly 150 slopes upwardly away from the workspace 14 thus facilitates feeding of the strip of material.
  • the tyre When the strip of material has been fed onto the profiled tread of the tyre, the tyre is deflated and the retaining shells 44 are displaced away from each other, whereafter the tyre is removed. The tyre will then be treaded in accordance with conventional retreading profile procedure.
  • the invention as described and illustrated thus provides an installation for retreading, within a certain size range, a variety of differently sized tyres.
  • the installation further has the advantage that a retreading process executed by making use of the installation can to a large extent be automised.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un ensemble (10) permettant de profiler la bande de roulement d'un pneu. Cet ensemble comporte un bâti (12) définissant un espace de travail (14). Des moyens de maintien de pneu (16) sont montés sur ce bâti et permettent de maintenir dans l'espace de travail un pneu à l'état gonflé. Ces moyens de maintien de pneu tournent autour d'un axe de rotation (18) prévu à cet effet et s'étendant à travers l'espace de travail, de sorte qu'un pneu maintenu par lesdits moyens peut tourner autour de son axe. Au moins un outil de profilage de bande de roulement (20, 22) est monté sur le bâti de manière à faire saillie dans l'espace de travail. Chaque outil de profilage de bande de roulement est espacé latéralement de l'axe de rotation des moyens de maintien de pneu, de manière à venir en contact avec la bande de roulement d'un pneu maintenu et mis en rotation par lesdits moyens et profiler cette dernière. Un agencement de déplacement (24) des moyens de maintien de pneu est monté sur le bâti et permet de déplacer, au sein de l'espace de travail et relativement au bâti, ces moyens ainsi qu'un pneu maintenu par ces derniers. L'invention concerne également une installation pour le rechapage d'un pneu, ainsi que des moyens de maintien de pneu.
