Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A grasping device for a bead ring grasps the bead ring formed of a wire wound around an annular winding unit provided on the outer circumferential surface of a rotary body while fixing a beginning and a termination of the wire. The grasping device includes an upper grasping unit that grasps an upper part of the bead ring and a lower receiver that receives a lower part of the bead ring. The upper grasping unit is formed of a pair of grasping bodies that can be released from each other and closed relative to each other so as to clamp the upper part of the bead ring therebetween. The lower receiver is formed of a receiving recessed part that receives the lower end of the bead ring.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A grasping device for a bead ring comprising a grasping unit with a pair of grasping bodies to grasp a bead ring formed on an outer circumferential surface of a rotary body by winding, wherein a grasping strip is pivotably supported with a shaft on one of the grasping bodies, wherein the grasping strip grasps the bead ring together with the other grasping body, the grasping strip having a lower edge provided with a grasping recessed part, wherein the grasping recessed part is configured to receive the bead ring in the opposite side positions with respect to the shaft, and the grasping strip is configured to receive the bead ring in opposite side positions with respect to the shaft. 2. The grasping device for the bead ring according to claim 1 , wherein the other grasping body is an insert to be inserted between a winding unit and the bead ring. 3. The grasping device for the bead ring according to claim 1 , wherein the grasping unit grasps an upper part of the bead ring. 4. The grasping device for the bead ring according to claim 1 , wherein the grasping unit is capable of moving in a radial direction of the bead ring relative to a grasping device body. 5. The grasping device for the bead ring according to claim 1 , comprising a receiver that receives a lower part of the bead ring.
