Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002022378
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A processing mold (30) is suitable for preparing a tire support (10). One processing mold that is particularly advantageous includes a processing mold having a first mold body (32) opposing a second mold body(34), and the first and second mold bodies are aligned through a mandrel (36). In one embodiment, a first mold body includes a locking member (110) suitable for locking the mandrel to the first body. In the embodiment, the mandrel is movable between the first and second mold bodies such that when a processing mold is opened, the first mold body and the mandrel can separate from the second mold body. A method of using a processing mold by aligning a first mold body and a second mold body through a mandrel and a method of releasing tire support from a processing mold by locking a mandrel to a first mold body and separating the first and second mold bodies are also particularly advantageous.
