A contractible segmented rigid core of a tire-curing mold is disclosed comprising a plurality of sectors, and means which permit a reduction of the transversal dimensions of the sectors to facilitate removal thereof from the cured tire, said means comprising forming each of the sectors in three parts transversely of the mold, one a central part provided with means for producing a movement under the action of resistant elastic or resilient biasing means along the symmetrical plane of the sector, and two lateral parts being adapted to oscillate, in contrast with the elastic or resilient biasing means, with respect to an axis in the symmetrical plane of the sector and thereby having reduced transversal dimensions. Means are included for preventing any displacement of the sectors when in their expanded position relative to the parts which comprise them, no matter what stresses may be applied to them during the tire curing operation. |
