ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a pneumatic tire, in which carcass plies are formed by applying carcass cords over an outer surface of a toroidal core along cord paths extending in a meridian direction of the core are disclosed. A zigzag shaped carcass cord arrangement is formed by applying a carcass cord on an outer surface of an imaginary column axially of the imaginary column and sequentially engaging the carcass cord around hook pins arranged at opposite axial end portions of the outer surface of the imaginary column. The core is moved toward the carcass cord arrangement so that a center axis and an equatorial plane of the core are matched with a center axis and an axial center plane of the imaginary column, respectively. The hook pins arc moved radially toward the core so that an axial center portion of the carcass cord between the axially opposite hook pins are brought into contact with the outer surface of the core along its equatorial plane, and further moved radially from an outer peripheral side to an inner peripheral side of the core and also axially toward the core while maintaining tension of the carcass cords between the axial center portion situated at the equatorial plane of the core and the hooked portion engaged around the hook pins, so that the carcass cord is sequentially attached to the outer surface of the core from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side of the core until the hooked portions of the carcass cord engaged around the hook pins are brought into contact with the outer surface of the core. Subsequently, the hooked portions of the carcass cord are pressed against the outer surface of the core for a given time so that the hooked portions of the carcass cord are attached to the core.
