MOLD FOR FORMING A TIRE AND TIRE PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18563975 titled 'MOLD FOR FORMING A TIRE AND TIRE PRODUCTION METHOD
The abstract describes a mold for forming a tire, which includes an annular tread molding part that can be opened and closed by moving segments in a radial direction, along with a tire production method using the same. Each segment of the mold includes a design surface dividing mold part with a tread design surface for forming a tire tread. The design surface dividing mold part can rotate around a shaft perpendicular to the movement direction of the segments and the axis of the tread molding part when the tire is opened after vulcanization molding.
