Abstract
A device for transferring a tire carcass having a substantially cylindrical outer surface and provided with core rings, from a tire building-up station to a forming station. This transfer is effected by means of an annular holder composed of segments and provided with suction cups adapted to be placed onto the outer substantially cylindrical surface of the carcass to be transferred for supporting the carcass. The holder is variable in diameter and is supported by a carrier which is movable from the tire building-up station to the forming station. The holder has curved segmental supporting elements for supporting at least one end portion of a carcass engaged and carried by the suction cups which are selectively connectable to a vacuum creating device.
