To provide the rise and fall guide technique of the upper mold in a tire vulcanizing apparatus attaching slider blocks to tie rods to exclude a conventional bracket to prevent the increase of the machine height of the tire vulcanizing apparatus and widely taking the span between the slider blocks to impart sufficient rigidity to a rise and fall part.

In a tire vulcanizing apparatus for vulcanizing and molding the green tire T held between both upper and lower molds 1, 2, slider blocks 40 are attached to at least two tie rods 13 at more than two upper and lower places and guide rails 50 for guiding the slide direction of the slider blocks in the rise and fall direction of a top plate 10 are attached to a machine frame 5.
