ABSTRACT:
A completed green tire is automatically released from a tire assembly drum and transported by automated holders to a discharge station, where an unloading track is positioned beneath the green tire. The holders include grips at the ends of reciprocable arms, arranged so the grips engage the periphery of the green tire at diametrically opposite points, which are on a line rotated somewhat from vertical with the bottom of such line away from the unloading track. Thus as the grips release the green tire, it rolls by gravity on its circular periphery onto the track mechanism, and passes to a discharge conveying system which can take the complete green tires to a vulcanizing and molding operation.
