Abstract

A mounting bracket, especially suitable for supporting a green tire holder, comprises, in series, a fixed bracket secured to a tire mold press, a hollow rectangular housing, and an adjustable arm for supporting a green tire holder on a vertical shaft. The adjustable arm is axially movable, and is also horizontally, vertically, and rotatably adjustable with respect to the hollow housing, so that the shaft can be precisely positioned with respect to the axis of the tire mold. The hollow rectangular housing is secured to the fixed bracket by means of a pivot screw and a removable pin. The housing is fixedly secured to the fixed bracket when the removable pin is in place, and is capable of being swung, so as to permit access to the tire mold, when the pin is removed.
