APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF TIRE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To wind a tire-constituent member having a joint on a molding body with high accuracy, while preventing ternary overlapping, when molding an unvulcanized tire. SOLUTION: When a detection means 60 detects the joint in the vicinity of the cutting position of the tire-constituent member G, the member G is cut shorter than a prescribed length while evading the joint. The winding top and rear end of the member G are held by the top and rear end holding adhesion means 40 and 50, respectively. The member G is extended to a prescribed length by separating the adhesion means 40 and 50 from each other, both means 40 and 50 are moved to a molding body H side. The top of the member is stuck to the molding body H, and the member G is wound around the molding body H by rotating a support 2. The rear end holding adhesion means 50 is moved to the molding body H side while coordinating with the winding of the member G, and the rear end of the member G is joined to the top thereof.
