TOPPING DEVICE FOR CORD

PURPOSE:To provide a topping device which is low in the cost of equipment, a few in a working man-hour and easy to automate, by a method wherein a baffle deciding a distance of cords to which topping is to be applied and a gauge setting jig deciding a topping thickness are arranged in a row, and distances from a supply port of rubber to a topping surface of a large number of cords, which have been made through arrangement by pulling out at predetermined spaces from the baffle, are made identical with each other. CONSTITUTION:A large number of cords 2 pulled out from each of wire reels 1 at the same time is sent to a topping part B under a parallel state through a guide roll 3. Rubber loaded through a rubber loading port 4 is extruded through an extruding machine B', sent to a box B'' and topping of the same is applied to a topping surface of the steel cord 2. A baffle 5 deciding a space between steel cords 2 and die plate 6 deciding a topping thickness are fixed to the box B''. A feed port 7 of the rubber extruded through the rubber extruding machine B' is opened in a gap between the baffle 5 and die plate 6, distances from the topping surface of the cords 2 in relation to the feed port 7 are identical with each other extending over the whole length and the rubber is fed to the topping surface of the cord perpendicularly to the same.
