Device for constructing a belt for pneumatic vehicle tire
First Claim
1. A device for conveying and preparing a belt construction strip including parallel reinforcing members embedded in a belt construction material for processing in a subsequent processing device, the device comprising:
- first and second conveying devices successively positioned in a feed direction without a lateral stop for the belt construction strip, the first and second conveying devices providing lateral alignment of the belt construction strip;
a drive device that laterally moves the first conveying device relative to the feed direction;
a sensor device comprising at least two sensors detecting a position of side edges of the belt construction strip;
a holding device that holds a front tip of the belt construction strip in a controlled manner in a region of the second conveying device;
the laterally movable first conveying device being positioned upstream of the second conveying device relative to the feed direction; and
the sensor device positioned to determine at least one of alignment of an edge of the belt construction strip and alignment of a center of the belt construction strip.

Abstract
Device for conveying and preparing belt construction strip having parallel reinforcing members embedded in belt construction material includes first and second conveying devices, successively positioned in the feed direction without lateral stops for belt construction strip, to laterally align belt construction strip. Drive device laterally moves first conveying device relative to feed direction, sensor device has at least two sensors to detect position of side edges of belt construction strip, and holding device holds a front tip of belt construction strip in controlled manner in region of second conveying device. First conveying device positioned upstream of second conveying device relative to feed direction, and sensor device positioned to determine alignment of edge of belt construction strip and/or alignment of center of belt construction strip. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
