  • Patent number: 10926500
    Abstract: A handling device for tires having at least one extension arm, wherein the at least one extension arm is secured with a first extension arm pivot location to a receiving member in such a manner that a pivoting of the at least one extension arm relative to the receiving member is supported and the at least one extension arm has a second extension arm pivot location so that at least one gripping tool is coupled to the at least one extension arm. At least a second gripping tool is coupled to the second extension arm pivot location, and the at least two gripping tools can be pivoted relative to at least one extension arm pivot location. The invention further relates to a method for carrying out a loading and unloading cycle with tires of a tire vulcanization machine.

  • Patent number: 10195803
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for preheating at least one mold for a tire heating press, which has a coupling for applying a heating medium to the mold. The mold to be heated is enclosed by a receiving container (19), which is secured within a framework and creates the coupling for the heating medium. The device helps to provide effective preheating of the mold by an insulating shroud (2), which is positioned over the receiving container (19) during the preheating process and reduces heat dissipation into the surroundings.

  • Patent number: 7740464
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device comprising a receiving device (3) for post-treating tires (1). After vulcanizing the elastomer material, the tires (1) are subjected to internal pressure by means of support gas, and cooled. Said receiving device (3) is embodied such that it can maintain the tires (1) and also seal the inner chamber of the tires. Also, a pressurized gas supply is connected to the receiving device (3). Said receiving device (3) comprises at least two fixed receiving areas (4) for at least two tires (1). The tires undergo at least one introduction process using a positionable handling device (19).
