Patent GB-189724029-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and Apparatus for the Manufacture of the Foundations or Linings of the Detachable Covers or Treads of Pneumatic Tyres for Wheels.
Inventor: MOORE GEORGE CHARLES
Filed: 1897-10-19
Granted: 1898-10-01
Abstract: 24,029. Moore, G. C. Oct. 19. Tyres, pneumatic. -Relates to means for forming the foundation of a pneumatic tyre or of the outer cover of a pneumatic tyre. Figs. 1 and 3 show a side elevation and plan respectively. The periphery d of the rotating frame d' has a crosssection similar to thatdesired for the tyre, and thread is fed on to the frame from the carrier e, which reciprocates from side to side of the frame at the rate of about four single strokes for one revolution of the frame. This motion gradually builds up the foundation, each thread of which passes from one point A on the periphery past a point B on the edge to another point C on the periphery. The thread may be coated with adhesive rubber, and a rubber tread is added. The frame is rotated from the main driving-shaft h, which, through the countershaft l and bevel gearing, also rotates the cam m. This cam oscillates the lever o which, by means of the rack q, operates the carrier e and gives a reciprocating motion to the thread.
