Tire bead wrapping machine
Abstract
Abstract A tire bead wrapping machine designed to automatically feed the cord to the shuttle from a spool mounted remote from the shuttle. A cord feeding assembly uses a pair of gripping fingers to bring the end of the cord to a cord feeding position adjacent one side of the shuttle, from which position the free end is picked up by the accumulator assembly at the start of a bead wrapping cycle. The excess cord is stored on the accumulator spools as the shuttle rotates about the bead. When a sufficient length of cord for one wrapping cycle is removed from the spool, a cord cutting assembly severs the cord and holds the free end of the cord coming from the spool, which free end is gripped by the gripping fingers and conveyed to the cord feeding position to prepare the machine for the next bead wrapping cycle.
