A tire curing press (20) for curing vulcanized tires includes an upper cavity part (24) and a base (26) that at least partially forms the lower cavity part (22). A movable platen (34) is supported by the base (26) that supports a tire mold section received within the upper cavity part (24). In various examples, an outer riser column (36) is secured to the base and extends vertically upwards from the base to support the upper cavity part (24), a multi-height lock ring (82 85) is disposed upon the base and is configured to interface with an annular flange of the upper cavity part via a bayonet connection, first (110) and second (130) cylinders are configured to apply a substantially equal squeeze pressure to the movable platen to thereby establish a final tire curing pressure within the press cavity, and/or a lock plate (60) is carried by the upper cavity part and includes a locking surface (62) for selective engagement with an abutment shoulder (65). |
