The US version of the patent (Process and drum for constructing a green tire, US 6235135 B1) gives the above sentence as:
"FIG. 4 illustrates a view similar to that depicted in FIG. 3 after the application of the initially-mounted tire components, such as sidewalls, inner liners, a chafer in the future bead area, a carcass ply, and shoulder cushion profiles." However, other sentences in the same patent contain the term "shoulder inflation profiles" and the following paragraph contains both terms:
"Shoulder cushion profiles 12 may be applied over carcass ply 10. In the completed tire, shoulder inflation profiles 12 are utilized to conform, even at the edges, a flat cross-sectional contour of the belt with a carcass contour which already is preshaped more strongly at the belt edges."
The Swiss German version contains only the one term:
"Danach wurden die Schulterfüllprofile 12 aufgebracht, die im fertigen Reifen die Funktion haben, eine - auch an den Rändern - flache Gürtelquerkontur mit einer an den Gürtelrändern bereits stärker gewölbten Karkassenkontur in Einklang zu bringen."

Note also the following paragraph at the beginning of the patent, which indicates that the terms can be abbreviated to "shoulder profiles" (Schulterprofile):
In many tires, a shoulder cushion profile is arranged between a bottom belt ply and a carcass ply. The existence, shape, and arrangement of these shoulder profiles, as well as whether they are to be mounted to the carcass in a flat or preshaped position do not influence the utility of the present invention.
German:
Bei vielen Reifen sind zwischen der untersten Gürtellage und der - ggf. obersten - Karkasslage links und rechts je ein Schulterprofil angeordnet. Existenz, Gestalt und Anordnung auch dieser Schulterprofile sowie die Frage, ob sie auf die Karkasse im flach liegenden oder im bombierten Zustande aufgebracht wird, beeinflussen die Funktionstüchtigkeit der Erfindung nicht.

I should qualify my confidence level by saying that the terms "Schulterfüllprofile", "shoulder inflation profiles" and "shoulder cushion profiles" seem to be restricted entirely to one or two tire construction patents. The term in general use is "shoulder profiles" ("Schulterprofile").
