Abstract
A tire vulcanizing apparatus has a mold body divided into a first mold portion and a second mold portion by a line perpendicular to an axis of a tire. The apparatus includes a device for opening or closing the mold body to mount the tire on the mold body and remove the tire from the mold body. A heat pressure medium is supplied into the tire mounted on the mold body in a vulcanizing station to vulcanize the tire. The mold body is arranged to receive and vertically hold the tire therein. A plurality of vulcanizers are disposed side by side in the vulcanizing station to vulcanize the tire. Each vulcanizer detachably accommodates the mold body. The vulcanizer supplies the heat pressure medium into the tire held in the mold body. The device is movable to positions respectively opposite to the vulcanizers. The mold body is movable between the device and the vulcanizer opposite to the device.
