Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a tire size, a product number,
The present invention relates to a ticket sticking device for sticking a sticker ticket displaying various product information such as a manufacturing date or a molding machine number to a predetermined location of a tire.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the manufacture of tires, in order to identify and sort the tires during the manufacturing process, product information such as tire size, product number, manufacturing date, or molding machine number is specified during tire manufacturing. It is being displayed in some places.

Conventionally, such display of product information has been performed by an operator sticking a sticker ticket displaying predetermined product information on a tire, but recently, due to automation of work, an ink jet method is used. BACKGROUND ART Printer information is automatically printed on a tire itself using a printer. In addition, a bar code indicating product information is printed in advance on the material of the inner liner, which is the material forming the inner peripheral surface of the tire, and the bar code is displayed for each tire during tire manufacturing. Displaying product information is also performed (JP-A-3-213407 and JP-A-4-148922).

[0004]

However, when the above-mentioned ink jet printer is used, the equipment itself is expensive and running costs are high, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost, and there are many failures such as ink hardening and maintenance. However, when printing a bar code indicating product information in advance on the material of the inner liner, the equipment such as a printing machine for printing on the material of the inner liner is large. In addition, if it is necessary to display new information later during the manufacturing process, there is a problem that it is necessary to display information by another method.
Therefore, the method of displaying the product information by the sticker ticket, which is inexpensive and can be easily dealt with even if the product information is changed, is still supported by many manufacturers and is actually applied.

However, even though it has the above-mentioned advantages, the work of sticking the seal ticket to the tire while peeling off the seal tickets one by one is extremely primitive, and the sticking accuracy may be required in some cases. It is desired to automate this at an early stage to improve workability.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and a ticket sticking apparatus capable of improving workability by automating sticking of a sticker ticket displaying product information to a tire. It is intended to be provided.
