Tread ring transferring apparatus for use in a green tire building system

摘要

A tread ring transferring apparatus for use in a green tire building system adapted for holding and transferring a tire component which is formed in a cylindrical shape has a ring shaped holder frame; and a plurality of holding segments provided along a circumferential direction of the holder frame and radially movable inward and outward to hold and release the tire component respectively. Each holding segment has at least one contact member in pressing contact with the tire component when the holding segments are moved radially inward. One contact member of one of the plurality of holding segments is different in height in a radial direction from another contact member of the other holding segment.
