ないタイヤほどより顕著に表われる。2. Description of the Related Art A tire having a radial structure is widely used as a tire excellent in high-speed running. However, in a conventional tire having a radial structure, a carcass ply is wound in a cylindrical shape on a forming drum and both ends e of the winding are vertically overlapped and connected (joint) at the time of forming the tire. As shown in FIG. 14, the finished tire extends in the same radial direction as the carcass cord in a belt shape. As a result, when the tire is filled with air,
Although the air pressure per unit area acting on the inner surface of the tire is uniform, the number of carcass cords in the overlapping portion j is large, so that the tension per wire is small, and only the overlapping portion j is limited. A so-called joint dent, which is recessed as compared with other parts, occurred, and the quality of the tire appearance, durability, uniformity, and the like was greatly reduced.
The joint dent is more remarkable particularly when a steel cord carcass ply is used and in a tire having a smaller number of carcass plies.

As shown in FIG. 15, a pair of drive rollers a inclined in an eight-letter shape in plan view and a pair of shift rollers b inclined in an inverted eight-letter shape in front view are provided behind them, and these are used to form a carcass ply. A device for rolling along both ends e is disclosed.

ど、セッティング時の作業効率にも劣ることとなる。However, when the drive roller a rolls, it biases each end e of the ply to the opposite side, but this drive roller a is cylindrical. The urging force does not effectively act on the ply edge e1 such as the distance f between the portion c where the roller a contacts the ply and the ply edge e1, and the ply under the roller is raised from the drum. Therefore, the urging force itself becomes unstable and small, and the joining force and the joining accuracy are poor.
Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the ply is suddenly urged toward the opposite side at the contacting portion c, so that the cord arrangement is likely to be disturbed with the non-contacting portion. In addition, the work efficiency at the time of setting is inferior, for example, the mutual mounting balance of four or more rollers a and b becomes important.

ている。In order to achieve the above object, an end joining apparatus for a carcass ply according to the present invention has a structure in which a carcass ply is provided on a cylindrical forming drum between a start end and a finish end. An end joining device for a carcass ply that joins the both ends of a carcass ply wound one round while maintaining a fixed small gap, wherein a guide tool having a rail extending in the axial direction of the forming drum; Running means for moving the rail back and forth from a rear end position to a front end position; and a carcass ply facing the forming drum on a support piece held by the running tool and passing through the small gap. A substantially T-shaped receiver provided with a plate-shaped receiving piece having a receiving surface for receiving the both ends at the lower surface of the support, and a front end position of the traveling tool, which is held at a rear side of a supporting piece of the receiving body. Behind the support piece when moving The joining means comprises a joining means for contacting and joining the two end portions, and the joining means comprises two top bodies having a cone surface around a rotation axis center, which bring the maximum diameter portion of the cone surface close to each other and form two top bodies. Each of the bus bars has a connector arranged so that the rotation axes intersect at an angle parallel to the receiving surface, and passes through the middle of the loop circle of the largest diameter portion of the two frame bodies. The intermediate surface is located in the direction in which the small gap extends and at the center of the small gap.

To the intermediate plane and push it forward. That is, since this material sandwiches the upper and lower surfaces of both ends over the entire surface, the urging force can be applied to the edge to be sure, and the press-contact force between the ends can be stably and increased to increase the bonding strength. And the joining accuracy can be greatly improved.

The smaller the code is, the smaller the code is. Therefore, the disturbance of the code between the portion in contact with the frame and the non-contact portion can be reduced. In addition, since the ply can be joined by the two frames and the ply is sandwiched between the receiving surface, a stable urging force can be selected with a simple structure, and thus the working efficiency at the time of setting can be improved.

One top body 6 is formed as shown in FIGS. , Is supported on the output shaft of a motor M2 such as an air motor fixed to the mounting surface 21S via, for example, an L-shaped bracket 46, and the other frame body 6 is, for example, U-shaped on the mounting surface 21S. Is supported via the metal fitting 47. The metal fitting 4
7 is a groove 47A for avoiding contact with the output shaft of the motor M2.
Is formed in a block-like shape, and is rotatably supported by a support shaft 49 protruding from one end thereof. The top body 6 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 0, an intermediate surface S2 passing through the middle of the loop circle 50 of each of the largest diameter portions 43A is arranged in the direction in which the small gap G extends and at the center of the small gap G.

る。Accordingly, each of the frame bodies 6 is engaged with each other around the rotation axis N and rotated at the same speed by the driving of the motor M2, and is held between the cone surface 43 and the receiving surface 27 during rotation. The ends E1 and E2 to the intermediate plane S
Bias and push toward 2. This is end E
1, the upper and lower surfaces of E2 are sandwiched over the entire surface, so that the urging force can be applied to the edge to be surely applied to the edge.
(1) The pressing force between E2 and E2 can be increased to greatly improve the bonding strength.

る。Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the carcass cord C which is moved toward the intermediate surface S2 is formed into a fan-shaped contact shape 51 in which the cone surface 43 of the top body 6 contacts the carcass ply 4.
The displacement distances L1 to Ln of 1 to Cn are smaller as the cords are farther away from the ends E1 and E2, and therefore, the disturbance of the cord between the portion contacting the frame body 6 and the non-contact portion can be reduced.

It is necessary to be located behind. This is because, on the rear side of the contact point P, the cone surface 43 rotates away from the intermediate surface S2, and as a result, acts to separate the joined ends E1 and E2 in reverse. Therefore, the contact point P is located on the rear side of the contact shape 51.

る。Further, in order to further suppress the arrangement of the carcass cords C at the joint portion, the plane S
3 is preferably inclined forward at an angle α of 11 to 13 degrees with respect to the right angle plane S1. This is because the angle α is 1
If it is less than 1 degree, the force for drawing the ends E1 and E2 is weak,
In addition to impairing the joining force, as shown in FIG.
2 is different from the other code pitch H0.
It becomes too large and induces a so-called joint bulge, which is convex on the side of the tire. Conversely, the angle α
Exceeds 13 degrees, the force for drawing the ends E1 and E2 becomes excessively large, and as shown in FIG. 13, six or more cords having the cord pitch H2 smaller than the other cord pitch H0 are generated at the joint portion. This causes a so-called joint dent in which this portion is depressed on the side surface of the tire. Further, such an irregular arrangement of the carcass cords C is also related to the circumferential width W of the receiving piece 27 in the forming drum.
By setting it to be up to 38 mm, the occurrence of the bulge dent can be suppressed. In addition, as in this example, the mounting surface 21
The angle S of the top body 6 can be easily and accurately set by forming S at the forward inclination in accordance with the angle α.
