MOLD CLAMPING MECHANISM OF TIRE VULCANIZER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clamp mold by a simple and inexpensive mechanism without using individual press machines in the vulcanizing period, reduce cost of the individual vulcanizer, besides, reduce extremely the facility costs as the whole of a multi- vulcanizing system, and contribute to the promotion in the practical use of the multi-vulcanizing system. ;SOLUTION: Tie rods 14 connecting a pair of upper and lower tables 3, 12 for holding a pair of upper and lower tire molds 6, 7 are inserted between the pair of tables 3, 12 at the position outward of the molds 6, 7. In addition, the lower ends of the tie rods 14 are engaged with the table 3, and also the upper ends thereof serve to surely clamp-hold the molds 6, 7 during the period of applying the vulcanizing inner pressure by preliminarily forcibly inserting a split block 17 having greater thickness between the upper and lower faces between a stop part 16e formed at the position projecting beyond the upper surface of the upper table 12 and the upper surface of the upper table 12, which has a larger thickness dimension than the dimension between both the surfaces.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1997,JPO
