A curing rim for a vehicle tire is shown. A flanged first sleeve (13) is adapted to seal the bottom bead of a large tubeless tire (10). A flanged sealing sleeve (14), having a cylindrical inner surface (24) with an O-ring seal (26) carried thereby, is adapted to seal the opposite bead of the tire. A cylindrical locking sleeve (15) is telescoped through the sealing sleeve (14) and is sealingly engaged at its bottom end to the first sleeve (13). The upper end of locking sleeve (15) is provided with a stop flange (31). The sealing sleeve (14) maintains an air-tight seal with the bead of the tire and also seals against the locking sleeve (15) as the tire is inflated and moves upwardly along the locking sleeve (15) until blocked by the stop flange (31). |
