DEFINITION

Classification: 156/909

APPARATUS FOR APPLYING NEW TREAD TO USED TIRE CASING; E.G., RETREADING, RECAPPING, ETC.:

Apparatus for laminating a new tread, or tire portion to a used tire carcass wherein the new tire component is preformed and not reshaped by the laminating apparatus.

(1) Note. This cross-reference art collection provides for generally annular and/or toroidal shaped envelopes, or devices placed around a retreaded tire to hold (but not reshape) the new tread portion against the tire carcass.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

94+, for methods of repairing or renewing tires.

381, for apparatus having walls completely surrounding the work, which walls form a space within which the work is bonded and which are separable from laminating pressure surfaces.

421.2, for apparatus which includes either (a) a chamber incompletely surrounding the tire casing, or work with a means for establishing pressure within the interior of the chamber, or (b) a chamber completely surrounding the work which is, or becomes inseparable from the laminating surfaces with a means for establishing pressure within the interior of the chamber.

584, for devices for removing tread stock, beads and piles from a tire carcass or for removing adhered tires from rims. SEE OR SEARCH CLASS
