Method and apparatus used in the automated construction of a running vehicle tire

The invention relates to a method used in automated running construction of a pneumatic vehicle tire using butt-spliced ​​tire components made of material webs, for example embedded in a rubber mixture textile cords or steel cords for producing a carcass inlay of the pneumatic vehicle tire, wherein the end portions of the cut material web in a splicing device with mutually movable pairs of upper and lower splicing elements are clamped and blunt joined together. It is the one end portion (5a) of the cut material web (5) of a service facility coming to a splice element (12) of one pair of splicing elements (9, 10; 11, 12) placed and fixed, further comprising the pair of splicing elements (11 rotated, 12) bearing the base part (7) with simultaneous feeding of the material web (5) by 360 ° until the second end portion (5b) of the now ring-shaped web of material (5) at a small distance from the first-mentioned end portion (5a) and in the same level as that at the second splicing element (11) of this pair of splicing elements (11, 12) positioned and fixed, then the second pair of splicing elements (9, 10) is fed vertically and the end sections (5a, 5b) positioned and fixed, then an obtuse splice with horizontal moving together of the pairs of upper and lower splicing elements (9, 10, 11, 12) is performed.
