Abstract
An apparatus for cooling tires at the end of their vulcanization which includes: PA1 a frame having a base intended to be mounted on the ground, defining a horizontal orientation; PA1 two shafts mounted for rotation on said frame, substantially parallel to each other and substantially parallel to the horizontal, at a distance from each other less than the outside diameter of the tires to be handled; PA1 a drive for rotating at least one of the two shafts; so that, when a tire is placed on said shafts with the axis of rotation of said tire arranged substantially parallel to the axes of said shafts, said drive for placing in rotation being activated, said tire is subjected to a gyroscopic force and remains in equilibrium.
