Rigid-core mold for annular treads intended, in particular, for the recapping of tires

摘要

An improved mold (1) for the molding and vulcanizing of annular treads intended, in particular, for the recapping of tires, which includes at least one rigid core (3) defining the inner surface of the tread and a collar (2) divided into sectors (21) which are movable radially between an open position and a closed position of the collar (2) for the molding of the outside of the tread, characterized by the fact that the core (3) bears movable annular elements (5) for the tight connection of the core (3) to the sectors (21) whatever the position of the latter between the closed position of the collar (2) and a slightly apart position of the sectors (21), and that the sectors (21), the core (3), and the annular element (5) define the molding space of the tread.
