CA 2218407

A device (16) for producing raised lettering (14) on the sidewall (12) of an tire (10) includes a mechanism (24, 26, 28) for mounting the tire (10) in position to expose its outer sidewall (12). A mold member (40) with a plurality of annular channels (84) defined in the front surface (42) and a plurality of support members (106) each adapted to hold an alphanumeric elastomeric member (14) in the form of the mirror image of a preselected alphanumeric symbol are provided. The support members (106) include an interlocking arrangement (126, 128) to form a series of symbols into a preselected legend for producing the raised lettering (14). The support members (106) are secured to the annular channels (84) through devices (120, 122) while the interlocking device (126, 128) provides sufficient fluctuation between the connected support member (106). With the mold member (40) positioned on the outer sidewall (12) of the tire (10), an electrical heating element (102) is provided within the mold member (40) to heat and fuse the elastomeric members (14) directly to the sidewall (12) of the tire (10).

L'invention porte sur un dispositif (16) permettant de produire une inscription en relief (14) sur le flanc (12) d'un pneumatique en élastomère (10), ledit dispositif comprenant un mécanisme (24, 26, 28) destiné à la mise en place du pneumatique (10) dans une position où il présente son flanc extérieur (12). Ce dispositif comprend également un moule (40), comportant plusieurs canaux annulaires (84) ménagés dans la surface antérieure (42) du moule, et plusieurs éléments de support (106) conçus pour porter chacun un élément en élastomère alphanumérique (14) sous la forme d'un symbole alphanumérique présélectionné. Les éléments de support (106) comportent un système d'emboîtement (126, 128) permettant de constituer une série de symboles d'une légende présélectionnée afin de produire l'inscription en relief (14). Les éléments de support (106) sont fixés au moyen de dispositifs (120, 122) tandis que le système d'emboîtement (126, 128) autorise un jeu suffisant entre les éléments de support (106) assemblés. Une fois le moule (40) positionné sur le flanc extérieur (12) du pneumatique (10), un organe électrique chauffant (102) est placé dans le moule (40) pour chauffer les symboles en élastomère (14) et les faire fondre directement sur le flanc extérieur (12) du pneumatique (10).
