Abstract

An apparatus for tire transportation in a tire-forming machine is described. The apparatus comprises a pair of circular plates attached to transfer means adapted to move in the axial direction of a tire-forming drum. A plurality of rotatable shafts are provided at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction on said circular plates and positioned on a circle concentric with said circular plates. To these shafts are attached levers having holding members for green tire or an intermediate assembly body for green tire and angular levers, said angular levers being connected together by means of linking members combined together through pins so as to form a number of parallelogram links of mutually cooperative movement and at least a driving means being provided for swinging said angular levers.
