Method for constructing a tyre casing

1 . Method for building a tire casing on a tire building drum for a self-supporting radial tire, wherein the tire casing comprises an inner layer, reinforcing profiles for side walls as well as side walls, at least one casing ply and bead areas and wherein the tire building drum is provided with surrounding pockets for receiving the reinforcing profiles, characterized in that the regions of the reinforcing profiles ( 9 ) coming into contact with the inner layer ( 4 ) are provided with a groove structure, which comprises a plurality of grooves ( 12 ) extending in a continuous manner, in particular transverse to the circumferential direction of the tire building drum ( 10 ).

2 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the groove structure is created by means of embossing cylinders.

3 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the grooves ( 12 ) of the groove structure have at least essentially a V-shaped cross section.

4 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the grooves ( 12 ) of the groove structure have a depth of 0.3 to 1.2 mm, in particular 0.5 to 0.8 mm.

5 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the mutual distance between the grooves ( 12 ) is 1 to 2 mm.

6 . Method for building a tire casing on a tire building drum for a self-supporting radial tire, wherein the tire casing comprises an inner layer, reinforcing profiles for side walls as well as side walls, at least one casing ply and bead areas and wherein the tire building drum is provided with surrounding pockets for receiving the reinforcing profiles, characterized in that the inner layer ( 4 ) is pre-formed corresponding to the contour of the recesses or pockets ( 11 ) before it is applied to the tire building drum ( 10 ).

7 . Method according to claim 6 , characterized in that the pre-forming of the inner layer ( 4 ) is carried out with embossing rollers or embossing cylinders.

8 . Method according to claim 6 , characterized in that the pre-forming is carried out by heating the inner layer ( 4 ), for example by means of hot air, or heating the embossing rollers or embossing cylinders.

9 . Method according to claim 6 , characterized in that the inner layer ( 4 ) is applied with already positioned reinforcing profiles ( 9 ) to the tire building drum ( 10 ).

10 . Method according to claim 8 , characterized in that the inner layer ( 4 ) is positioned in an offset manner vis-à-vis the reinforcing profiles ( 8 ) in the circumferential direction of the drum.

11 . Method according to claim 6 , characterized in that the reinforcing profiles ( 9 ) are gradually brought into contact with the inner layer ( 4 ) while rotating the drum in the drum transverse direction.

12 . Method according to claim 6 , characterized in that the pre-formed inner layer ( 4 ) is applied to the drum, the drum is raised up somewhat so that subsequently the reinforcing profiles ( 9 ) and the casing ply(s) are positioned and finally the raising of the drum is completed.

13 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the tire building drum ( 10 ) is provided with bores or channels in the area of the pockets ( 11 ).

14 . Method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the positioned inner layer ( 4 ) is acted upon from outside with compressed air.

15 . Vehicle pneumatic tire in a radial design, which is manufactured in accordance with the method according to claim 1.
