APPARATUS FOR APPLYING NEW TREAD TO USED TIRE CASING; E.G.,RETREADING, RECAPPING, ETC.:
Apparatus for laminating a new tread, or tire portion to a used tire carcass wherein the new tire component is preformed and not reshaped by the laminating apparatus.
(1) Note. This cross-reference art collection provides for generally annular and/or toroidal shaped envelopes, or devices placed around a retreaded tire to hold (but not reshape) the new tread portion against the tire carcass.

94+, for methods of repairing or renewing tires.
381, for apparatus having walls completely surrounding the work, which walls form a space within which the work is bonded and which are separable from laminating pressure surfaces.
421.2, for apparatus which includes either (a) a chamber incompletely surrounding the tire casing, or work with a means for establishing pressure within the interior of the chamber, or (b) a chamber completely surrounding the work which is, or becomes inseparable from the laminating surfaces with a means for establishing pressure within the interior of the chamber.
