A method of curing foam filled tires and rim used thereby

摘要

Method for expanding and curing foamable elastomeric material (2), which is placed in the cavity (14) of a previously molded tire (10). The tire (10) when filled with foamable rubber material (2) is mounted on a curing rim (20) and exposed to heat to simultaneously foam and cure the elastomeric material (2) within the tire cavity (14). The curing rim (20) has a finished or a coated surface (30) that permits the cured foam filled tire (10) to be removed after curing by slipping the cured tire (10) off the coated surface (30) of the curing rim (20).
