Abstract

A flexible annular core for the production of hollow toroidal rubber shells, particularly pneumatic tires, composed of a pair of bead portions, each of which is composed of beads, a reinforcing layer folded back so as to enclose the beads, and elastomer layers covering the reinforcing layer, and a flexible shell portion composed of the reinforcing layer covered with the elastomer layers and extending across the bead portions. The bead portion of said flexible annular core is composed of the reinforcing layer and the elastomer layer adhered with each other. The flexible shell portion of said core is composed of the reinforcing layer and the elastomer layer not adhered with each other.
