A core transfer apparatus is disclosed which performs the function of transporting a core to a centrifugal tire casting machine; and after a vehicle tire has been produced in the centrifugal casting machine, the apparatus performs the function of removing the finished tire, which is surrounded by a tread ring and which internally contains the core, from the machine. The apparatus includes a guideway and a chain-driven transfer carriage thereon. The transfer carriage has a frame with guide rods which guide the vertical movements of saddle members relative to the frame. The saddle members carry interchangeable pads for engaging the core and the tread ring. |
