Abstract
Abstract A rubber product for use in a wrap-on type of tire recapping machine comprising an elongated rubber slab of substantially equal width and thickness and partially severed along longitudinal lines that are equally spaced apart to form adjacent strips, with intermittent breakable web portions interconnecting adjacent strips. The slab, with strips connected, is stacked in a series of folds of equal length and surrounded by a cover that provides support as the product is used when the outermost strip is pulled away by a tension that breaks the web portions. The invention also includes a method for making the product that includes the steps of severing the slab to form intermittent longitudinal slits and web portions and stacking the slab in a series of folds.
