[Detailed Description of the Invention]

general K and annular B r roll a wire, and this invention is built by the bead ring -- it -- a bead -- Prey and other tire part articles -- it is related with K raw tire To be busy tire group with attachment of air ON Sitaya transported to machinery. This raw tire is arranged and vulcanized in a model. After a bead is correctly built when manufacturing a tire, being accommodated and transported, without causing distortion is important. With Choi 7 was provided for the clip for one carrying type bead accommodation rack to hold B ° Do in the state of separation and a pile conventionally. this B r accommodation rack is also a bead mounting apparatus simultaneously -- the device is accommodation -- in order to fill with rack B r and then to feed from this bead accommodation rack, it has a mechanism which moves in 1 above-mentioned Qian. Since a bead is supported by gravity at an edge on a clip, an accommodation rack must be maintained in a perpendicular position again. In the holding device by another conventional technology, since a bead is stored on the pin type conveyance stand which a bead contacts for each other, a bead must be separated, before using it with a tire group by a mechanism. In manufacture of the bead ring which changes, the importance of dealing with a bead separately so that a bead may not stick mutually became clear. This is applied, especially concerning the bead which was indicated by the division patent application No. 593.561 transferred to the grantee of this application for which it applied to the United States patent No. 4.452.660 and March 26, 1984 as of [ Davis / (Davis) ] June 5, 1984 and which is Edge(ed) or contracted. As for the bead built by this device and method, since exterior covering is not given, it is preferred not to put mutually, or not to approach and position. Therefore, a bead is transported to tire bead accommodation and a feeding device within the container which has in it an elastic pipe which the device by this invention has a rib for the separation for holding a bead during a transfer, and can insert B r, After providing the grasp operation of the bead during the transfer and having arranged the bead around the bead support device inside bead accommodation and a feeding device, Take Si outside carries out a bead, and this container aims at providing the container pulled out by the radial direction from an inner side bead support device. The container for storing and transporting an annular tire bead according to one mode of this invention is provided, and it is the container, It is a wall member of a cylindrical shape to general [ which is arranged at the circumference of the main axis in the intersection of a main plane and a central plane ], The wall member side portion and wall member central portion which are prolonged in the direction of an axis which was formed in the above-mentioned wall member, and which the opening was prolonged in the direction of an axis of the above-mentioned container, and was [ the direction ] far apart and left in it are provided, The above-mentioned wall member is built with the charge of an elastic material which grasps an annular tire bead during a transfer and accommodation, and makes these tire beads extend to the To sake outside Take Si from a container so that modification of a wall member side portion is possible. One suitable example of this invention that shows the best aspect considered in order to carry out this invention for the person skilled in the art who has a very close relation about this invention is described below with reference to the attached chart which makes a part of this specification. Probably the example illustrated and described in this specification is a thing for illustration, and it will be clear to a person skilled in the art that various change modes can be carried out, without deviating from the main point and scope of this invention which were specified to the claim of this invention. Container 10 for storing and transporting annular tire bead 12 is shown in Drawings 1 and 2. Container 10 is wall member 14 of a cylindrical shape general [ with main axis 16-16, central plane 18-18 generally perpendicularly prolonged through a main axis, and main plane 20-20 which is generally horizontal and is prolonged through a main axis at a central plane and a right angle ]. Opening 22 prolonged in the direction of an axis is formed on wall member 14 in the both sides of central plane 18-18 in the upper part of main plane 20-20. Wall member 14 has wall member central portion 28 which covers the circle of 45 degrees of Take your time. between planes 29-29 by the side of each [ of central plane 18-18 ], and is prolonged. Wall member side portions 30 and 32 are formed between central portion 28 and edges 24 and 26 of opening 22. As for wall member side portions 30 and 32, it is preferred to extend the distance covering the range which measures from main plane 20-20 at plane 33-33 which connects main axis 16~16 and each edge 24 and 26 of opening 22, and does not exceed 15 degrees to the upper part of main plane 20-20. In the example of illustration, side portions 30 and 32 are prolonged in the distance which contains about 12-degree circle from main plane 20-20 to plane 33-33 upwards. Curvature radius R1 of wall member central portion 28 is almost the same as that of the outside diameter of the maximum bead 12 which is stored with container 10 and transported. It is measured from this curvature radius R and Is the center axis 16-16. Although the following explanation is related with wall member side portion 30, and this explanation is applicable also like wall member side portion 32, it differs that this wall member side portion is in the side opposite to central plane 18-18. Wall member side portion 30 has curvature radius R2 in the circumference of axis 34 which makes at least side side portion 32 of the side which faces each other from central plane 18-18 in the direction of the other side, and makes at least side central portion 28 from main plane 20-20 in the direction of the other side. Curvature radius R2 of wall member side portion 30 is the same as curvature radius R1 of central portion 30, and is equal to the curvature radius of the perimeter edge of the maximum bead 12 transported and stored with container 10. [ of committee Rika This one ] As for axis 34, it is preferred that at least side carries out only distance of the difference between the outside diameters of the minimum transported and stored with a container and the maximum annular bead 12 almost equal to a half from central plane 18-18 and main plane 20-20. As shown in Drawings 1 and 2, ribs 36 and 38 prolonged in the direction of an axis are used for supporting a container, when it is provided in the radial lateral surface of wall member central portion 28 and container 10 is laid on a flat face. thick portions 39 and 40 of ribs 36 and 38 -- respectively -- a rib -- locating holes 41 and 42 -- it is provided in order to reinforce the portion provided with each. Locating holes 41 and 42 are because it consistents with the locator pin of a loading device (un-illustrating), in order to position a container in the loading position defined beforehand. Slots 43 and 44 which extend in the direction of an axis are arranged in wall member side portion 30 and the 320 radial lateral surface contiguous to edges 24 and 26 of opening 22, It is used for receiving extended sticks 46 and 48 shown by the imaginary line for extending a side portion, or other similar devices during loading of the bead ring to a container. Gasset 50 attached to wall member side portions 30 and 32 gives the support for container 100 both ends and slots 43 and 44 in an isolated position like the central part, as shown in Drawing 2. Aside from this, since it can also build without providing slots 43 and 44 and bead 12 inserts among side portions 30 and 32 in this case, container lO is inserted by changing a bead, for example and contracting a diameter in one plane. In order to keep B r12 certain in the separation state within a container, a separating member like rib 52 is juxtaposed in the direction of an axis at least by the position which maintained the interval of wall member 14, and it is within a radial plane, From the intersection of main plane 2O-20 and wall member side portion 30, it extends in the intersection of a central field and wall member side portion 32 of another side. The interval of rib 52 is Transfer by a container. !. It is considered as sufficient size to provide division 54 which can store the maximum width of B r12 Sending(ed) and stored. It is determined that the height of bead 52 is almost the same as the thickness of wall member 14, and does not exceed the minimum-radius direction thickness of bead 12. As for the thickness of wall member side portions 30 and 32, it is preferred that it is not larger than 3% of curvature radius R8. Although building to bead 12 of one size is preferred as for container 10, There is bead structure where a large number differ to the bead of each size, and the bead of the size concerned exceeds a What call 1 bead diameter, and they are 0.50 inch- (1 or 27 cm) and 0.7 s in, As an example of a Duty bead diameter with a different outside diameter among (1 or 91 cm), they are 12, 13.14, 15 inches, and (30, 48*33.02, 35.56 and 38.10 cm). In this example, the amount of variation is 0.601 in (1, 53cIIL). As mentioned above, curvature radius R of 11 member central portion 28 and curvature radius R2 of wall member side portions 30 and 32 are the same as the radius of the perimeter edge of the maximum bead 12 transported and stored with container 10. If side portions 30 and 32 will be extended and detached by extended sticks 46 and 48 or a similar device if maximum B rx2 is stored in container lO, and it is contracted, Field contact of 100% of Hub will be obtained between the bead, and wall member side portion 30.32 and wall member central portion 28. In central portion 28 and side portion 30*32, it will contact in respect of equivalent, when extended sticks 46 and 48 go mutually, the lateral surface of a bead is moved to bead 12 of a small diameter and engaging of clutch of the wall member side portions 30 and 32 is carried out to this small diameter B r to the method of the inside of a radial direction. Wall member 14 is built with a charge of an elastic material like polyurethane, and the material of this suitable example is urethane containing 20% glass marketed by brand name union car d Ito (Union Carbide) -RIMI 60. Another material which can provide desired elasticity is the poly car-A marketed by brand name [Levsin (Lexan) J. If a bead is loaded into container 10, a container will be conveyed to the accommodation and a feeding device which was illustrated and described by this application and the pendency application for which it applied with the same day under the name of "the accommodation / feed method of a tire bead, and the device." This device has an inner side bead support member, and bead 12 currently held in container 10 is laid on this support member. An inner side bead support member holds a bead in the position which maintained the interval which is extended in order to grasp bead 12, and is shown in Drawing 2. Next, container 10 is pulled apart from an inner side support member to a radial direction, and leaves Py 112 in the state where it has been grasped by the inner side support member. With the elasticity of wall member 14, during movement of this radial direction, bead 12 can be damaged, or side portions 30 and 32 can be extended and detached, without changing the interval between beads. It stated in order to explain this invention about the typical example which this invention comprises, and its details, but probably, it will be clear to a person skilled in the art for not deviating from the gist and scope of this invention that various change modes can be carried out.
