| 20120256434 | Transfer Ring Having Advantaged Cam Follower-Camming Groove Aspect and Method - A transfer ring suitable for use in the manufacture of vehicle tires including a skeletal cylindrical cage which houses an oscillatable circular drive member. The drive member includes a plurality of cam followers disposed about the outer perimeter thereof and which operatively engage respective camming grooves defined in each of a plurality of hinged driven links which are individually hingedly mounted internally of the cage about the outer perimeter of the cage. Each driven link includes an inboard end hinged within the cage and an outboard end having an articulating shoe mounted thereon. The shoes are interconnected to provide like simultaneous substantially equal articulative and rotational movement of the shoes radially inwardly or radially outwardly of the cage upon rotational movement of the drive member and resultant rotational movement of the hinged driven links effected through the cam followers and camming grooves of the driven links. | 10-11-2012 |
| 20120222822 | Locking Spacer and Method - A locking spacer for use with a tire building drum is disclosed. The locking spacer includes an arcuate panel having an outer surface, an inner surface, opposite first and second curved side surfaces, and opposite first and second straight end surfaces. The panel is sized and shaped to span between and extend along the opposing inner surfaces of the segments. A first fastener is disposed along the first side surface and is configured to secure the first side surface to a first of the pair of segments, and a second fastener is disposed along the second side surface and is configured to secure the second side surface to a second of the pair of segments. The first and second fasteners limit movement of the first and second side surfaces in relation to the segments along a radial direction of the tire building drum. | 09-06-2012 |
| 20120033906 | Quick Replacement Bearing Axle for Tire Transfer Ring - A bearing axle adapted to rotatably secure a mounting ring between opposing interior surfaces of respective spaced apart first and second housing rings of a tire transfer ring and to allow removal of the bearing axle from between the housing rings absent additional separation of the housing rings is disclosed. The bearing axle comprises an elongated shaft sized and shaped to extend between and terminate along the housing ring interior surfaces and at least one releasable fastener for securing the shaft between the housing ring interior surfaces. A roller bearing is mounted on the shaft and is adapted to engage the mounting ring to allow the mounting ring to rotate in relation to the housing rings. Release of the fastener allows the shaft to slide from between the housing ring interior surfaces absent additional separation of the housing rings. | 02-09-2012 |
