  • Patent number: 10281417
    Abstract: A tire characteristic value measurement apparatus (100) includes a support arm (124) which is provided in vertical movement means (111 to 121). The support arm (124) bears a tire (T) on a roller conveyor (101) from below and has electrically insulative properties. The tire characteristic value measurement apparatus (100) further includes electric resistance value detection means (125 to 139) which is provided in the vertical movement means (111 to 121). The electric resistance value detection means (125 to 139) detects an electric resistance value of the tire T borne by the support arm (124).

  • Patent number: 9757917
    Abstract: This tire marking apparatus is a tire marking apparatus for performing marking in a tire. The tire marking apparatus includes a disk part having a central axis that is adjusted substantially perpendicularly to a printing surface of the tire; a plurality of printing parts that are provided in the disk part so as to be capable of moving forward and backward with respect to the printing surface and are arranged around the central axis; and a printing driving unit that moves at least one printing part arranged at a printing position that faces the printing surface of the tire forward.

  • Patent number: 9746396
    Abstract: Provided is a tire transport method for a tire inspection system in which a tire transported from the upstream side is fastened by an upper rim and a lower rim, and a measurement is performed, wherein the method includes transport stem in which a transport mechanism having a pair of transport units split in the width direction transports the tire to a fastening position for fastening, and a parting step in which the pair of transport units is parted in the width direction, such that it is possible for the lower rim to pass between the pair of transport units.

  • Patent number: 9579930
    Abstract: This printing device includes a first supply roller and a second supply roller that supply the pair of ink ribbons; a first winding roller and a second winding roller that are pulled out from the first supply roller and the second supply roller and wind the pair of ink ribbons passing through a printing position; and a roller driving unit that rotates the first winding roller and the second winding roller. The roller driving unit includes one rotational driving device in which a rotating shaft is rotatable in a normal direction and a reverse direction, a first transmission mechanism that transmits only the rotation of the rotating shaft in the normal direction to the first winding roller, and a second transmission mechanism that transmits only the rotation of the rotating shaft in the reverse direction to the second winding roller.
