Abstract
Device and method for building a radial tire. The device includes a first drum device for building a belt package and a transfer device for transferring the belt package from the first drum device to a second drum device having arranged thereon a carcass tube from at least one airtight inner layer, a carcass play and two bead cores with core profiles. The second drum device is arranged between core clamping devices and is structured and arranged to join the carcass tube and the belt package during expansion of the second drum device. The belt package is contoured or shaped by deformation via the second drum device. This abstract is not intended to define the invention disclosed in the specification, nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

20. A method for building a radial tire comprising:
-
building a belt package on a build-up drum having a cylindrical outside circumference; building a carcass tube having an airtight inner layer, at least one carcass ply and two bead cores with core profiles; transferring the carcass tube to a building drum arranged between axially movable core clamping devices each comprising an inflatable bellows; transferring, with a transferring device, the belt package to the building drum and positioning the belt package over the carcass tube; and expanding the building drum to cause the carcass tube to be joined to the belt package, wherein the belt package is contoured or shaped by at least one of the building drum and a device acting on the belt package from outside. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
