To provide an apparatus for manufacturing a tire reinforcement from a cord 4 by disposing the cord 4 along a desired locus on a surface of a mold by cooperating with a substantially toroidal form 1.

The apparatus for manufacturing the tire reinforcement from the cord 4 comprises depositing members arranged on a support 304a. In this case, the depositing members each has a guide member 64a in which the cord may slide freely, a mechanism for actuating the guide member in a cyclical, reciprocating movement, to bring the guide member in successive oscillations into the vicinity of each of the desired ends for the cord in a trajectory. The apparatus also comprises a first motor 354a for imparting desired movements to the actuating mechanism and a second motor 364a for imparting to the depositing member support a cyclical movement synchronized with the actuating mechanism, allowing deflection of the final trajectory of the cord 4 on the form 1.
