BUILDING AND CURING AN INEXTENSIBLE BELT STRUCTURE FOR A TIRE ASSEMBLY Abstract of the Disclosure The apparatus incorporates a rigid cylindrical form or mandrel on the outer surface of which a belt struc- ture is built, between a pair of edge dams. The radially inward surface of the mandrel is cylindrical and provides a large unobstructed cylindrical opening therethrough. The mandrel is constructed of a multipli- city of axially extending segments which are rigidly locked to and extend between a pair of end rings which provide the edge dams. Upon completing the belt struc- ture, the belt structure together with the rigid mandrel are inserted freely into an annular channel between an outside and an inside curing assembly. The inside curing assembly includes a single cylindrical diaphragm expandable radially into contact with the cylindrical inner surface of the mandrel solely to apply curing heat thereto. The outside curing assembly includes a multiplicity of segments which are moved radially inwardly to engage the outer surface of the belt struc- ture in response to an increase in pressurized heating fluid in a chamber defined by a cylindrical elastomeric diaphragm engageable with the cylindrical outer surface of the multiplicity of segments.
