Abstract
A tire building machine utilizes a ply-down and bead set assembly in which an array of axially projecting spring fingers are used. The fingers are secured between two nested rings which are constructed to interfit with each other and with each finger so that each finger may be inserted or removed without affecting adjacent fingers. One of the rings has projections interfitting with the fingers in their normal position and one of the rings may be locally deformable to assist in the insertion and removal of the fingers.
