A device for transferring an uncured tire carcass of cylindrical shape and comprising a cylindrical housing, a plurality of suction cups disposed in at least three circular bands around the housing, said bands being located one at each end portion and one in a mid-portion of the housing and each cup is connected to an actuator for radial movement and is also connectable to a vacuum source. Also, a plurality of tire bead retaining means are located in two circular bands at the desired axial bead locations, each band having at least three retaining means equiangularly spaced therein, each retaining means being connected to an actuator for radial movement for retention or release of the bead. The bead retaining means hold the bead, concentric with, and radially spaced from the outer surface of the carcass. |
