Patent granted for a flexible stitching roller for tire building
A tire building machine has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11993042B2) for a unique stitching roller design. The machine comprises a stitching roller with a rotatable roller body that includes a circumferential member defining a stitching surface and an internal surface. The support member of the roller body is made of a flexible material that allows the circumferential member to tilt from a neutral orientation to a tilted orientation at various positions along the circumference. The support member is reinforced at different radii to enhance axial stiffness, ensuring stability during the stitching process.
Furthermore, the patent includes a method for stitching a strip using the described tire building machine. The method involves providing the stitching roller on a tire building drum and utilizing the unique design of the roller body to stitch the strip effectively. The support member's flexible material composition and specific reinforcement at different radii allow for controlled tilting of the circumferential member during the stitching process. This innovative approach enhances the efficiency and precision of strip stitching on the tire building drum, potentially revolutionizing the tire manufacturing industry with improved quality and performance.
