  • Publication number: 20240165901
    Abstract: The tooling is suitable for manufacturing a toroidal tire that has a crown, a first annular bead and a second annular bead, together with a first sidewall and a second sidewall. The, tool has a core which is provided with groove-type passages that are suitable for receiving reinforcing elements, referred to as “stays.” The stays are designed to be permanently incorporated into the structure of the tire and to each extend in the cavity of the tire, thereby connecting a crown anchor point situated in the crown of the tire to a lateral anchor point situated in one of the sidewalls or beads of the tire.

  • Publication number: 20240075701
    Abstract: The facility comprises a tire-building station that is configured to form an uncured tire on a core. A curing station is configured to cure the assembly formed by the core and the uncured tire so as to obtain a cured annular tire. An extraction station is configured to separate, after the curing operation, the cured tire from the core. The curing station has a first, heating, thermal source which presses against the exchange face of the core for the curing operation and is then dissociated from the core and remains in the curing station in order to leave the exchange face free again when the core and the cured tire are transferred to the extraction station so that a second, refrigerating, thermal source of the extraction station takes the place of the first thermal source in contact with the exchange face of the core so as to cool the core.
