A plies sleeve for use in forming a core of plies and beads on a core
build mandrel where the plies sleeve is woven as a tubular sleeve having
a uniform circumference that will stretch laterally, increasing the
sleeve circumference to fit over a top surface or crown of the core build
mandrel and is of a length to where each sleeve side will fold down an
opposite core build mandrel side, passing around a tire bead, back up the
cored build mandrel side and over the top surface or crown edge. Which
outward sleeve stretching is provided by a select weave where Rayon cords
are spiral wound as vertical components of approximately seven point
(7.5) pics per inch, and elastic cords are included as horizontal
components of approximately eight (8) pics per inch that are formed as
pre-cure elastic cords from a urethane material and are cotton wound, to
allow for sleeve stretching and provide for a return of the plies sleeve
to its un-stretched state.
