A device and a method for storing an elongated plastically deformable member are provided in which, even if an elongated plastically deformable member and a liner are stored in a state of being superposed together and wound on a take-up reel, deformation of portions of the elongated plastically deformable member and non-uniformity of deformation of the elongated plastically deformable member can be suppressed. When a liner and an unvulcanized tread member are taken-up on and stored on a reel, the reel is supported by a driven roller and a drive roller, and the reel is stored in a state of being rotated constantly. As a result during storage, a load caused by the wound tread member itself is applied uniformly to an entire wound circumference. Therefore, collapsing deformation caused thereby is made uniform along a longitudinal direction, and differences in a configuration of the tread member at respective wound layers do not arise. <IMAGE> |
