Abstract
A server particularly adapted for delivering tire sidewall and the like in strip form to a tire building drum. Features a cold, non-driven but rotatable knife for cutting off a measured length of strip and projecting it forward directly to contact a partially completed tire carcass on the drum by a shuttle having closely spaced rollers which first draw the strip straight for cut-off, then when the cut-off is made, move the strip forward relative to the shuttle, and finally free wheel to allow the drum to draw the strip off the shuttle. A spoon-like tensioner controls the strip as it is wound about the drum.
