Patent number: 9757913Abstract: Apparatus and method for correcting the shape of a green tire configured so that, even if a side wall portion (S) is subjected to local crushing deformation during its temporary storage, such deformation is effectively corrected to easily improve the tire uniformity. A pressurized fluid is applied to an inner chamber of a green tire (G) having bead portions (B) held coaxially by upper and lower holders (56, 89), for setting the tread portion (T) of the green tire (G) coaxially to the bead portions (B). The side wall portions (S) is deformed outward and applied with an internal tension in the meridian direction, for correcting the shape of the green tire (G). Crushing deformation on the side wall portion (S) is thereby effectively recovered and corrected before vulcanization.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventor: Masayuki Ichinose

Publication number: 20160361881Abstract: A vulcanization apparatus provided with a vulcanization vessel for vulcanizing a green tire and a suction line for sucking out gas from inside the vulcanization vessel after the vulcanization vessel has been opened. Accordingly, oily smoke generated when vulcanized rubber has been removed from a bladder and an inner wall of a mold can be more efficiently discharged than in cases in which gas inside a vulcanization vessel is sucked out and additional air is introduced into the vulcanization vessel only prior to opening the vulcanization vessel.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2015Publication date: December 15, 2016Applicant: BRIDGESTONE CORPORATIONInventors: Masayuki Ichinose, Yuusuke Tamura, Akio Obayashi

Patent number: 8821782Abstract: A rim 58, 83 of a post cure inflator 60 can be changed in an easy and safety manner, while the amount of energy consumption is reduced. A inflator body 61 having the lower rim 58 can be located at a lower position, and the upper rim 83 can be moved downward to a lower position. Thus, the lower rim 58 and the upper rim 83 can be changed at the lower position in response to the change of the type of the tire to be manufactured, whereby the changing operation is made easy and safety. Further, the upper rim 83 moves upward. With this configuration, a vulcanized tire T having a heavy weight only moves in a front and rear direction while being supported by the inflator 61(lower rim 58), whereby the amount of energy consumption can be reduced easily.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: Masayuki Ichinose
