<p>The present invention provides a technique which eliminates the need for pressurizing means for a tire mold divided into upper and lower pieces. For this purpose, the tire vulcanizing press in accordance with the present invention includes a flange portion (21a) provided at the outer periphery of an upper hot plate (21) having an upper mold portion installed on the lower surface thereof, a flange portion (13a) provided at the outer periphery of a lower hot plate (14) having a lower mold portion installed on the upper surface thereof, a plurality of segments (17) each of which has, at upper and lower ends thereof, protrusions (17a) which engage with the flange portions when the upper and lower mold portions are closed, and segment moving means for moving the segments synchronously in the radial direction.</p> |
