DEVICE FOR TIRE STUDDING Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B60C11/16 B29D30/66 

FIELD: car industry.

SUBSTANCE: device (100) is designed for inserting anti-skid spikes (800, 911, 912) into sockets (920) under tread spike (930) of pneumatic tire (900). Device (100) contains tire holder (210) for holding pneumatic tire (900) and studding tool (300). Studding tool (300) contains primary studding head (400) and secondary studding head (500), wherein each of studding heads has output end (410, 510) for pushing spike (911, 912) from studding head (400, 500) into one of sockets (920) under spike in some direction (D410, D510), channel (420, 520) for the direction of spike (911, 912), ending with output end (410, 420), and pusher (430, 530) capable of moving in specified channel (420, 520) to push spike (911, 912) out of channel (420, 520). The device contains first actuator (130) made with the possibility to move studding tool (300) and/or tire holder (210) relatively to each other at least in a direction that has non-zero projection on the axial direction (AX). The device is suitable for inserting spikes of various types and/or in different orientations (O1, O2) into the tire.

EFFECT: increase in the accuracy of the orientation of spikes in the tire, depending on their location on the tire tread, and/or the use of different types of spikes in different parts of the pneumatic tire.
