tire mold forcing the cords to pantograph changing cord angles and belt widths the ply and belt cords of a traditional tire take the path of least resistance as they move from the building drum into the mold no tire today has exactly the optimum cord path along its entire cord length because of this phenomenon only with a reinforced liquid elastomer tire is it possible to position all reinforcements exactly where the design engineer specifies and it is possible to exactly control cord angle and placement along each increment of cord length the preferred apparatus to manufacture the integral ply belt rlet design includes the following equipment 1 individual creel let off for each cord or cable 2 individual cord liquid elastomer insulating die 3 counter rotation circular organizing die to position the cords 4 toroidal mandril whose cross section has the profile of the inside of the finished tire 5 multiple piece mold having the shape of the outside of the finished tire 6 polyol isocyanate mixer and pouring system 7 bead winding and application system the preferred method to produce the rlet includes the following processing steps 1 individual cords or cable are let off individual tension controlled creels 2 each cord is coated with liquid elastomer using an insulating die 3 the liquid elastomer coating the cords at least partially solidifies 4 the coated cords pass through a counter rotating organizing die and over the toroidal mandril 5 the.
