Abstract
An apparatusfor mounting an annular tread ring R on an outer peripheral surface TS of a tire base T, which includes a tire base holding sectionwhich is movable between a first position Pand a second position Pwhile holding the tire base T, and a tread ring mounting sectionfor mounting the tread ring R on the outer peripheral surface TS of the tire base T. The tread ring mounting sectioncomprises a tread holderfor holding the inner circumferential surface of the tread ring R, and a tread pushing-out devicefor pushing out the tread ring R in the axis direction. At the second position P, after placing the tread ring R on the outer peripheral surface TS of the tire base T in the tire base holding section, the tread ring mounting sectionpushes out the tread ring R from the tread holdertoward the first position Pby the tread pushing-out device. And the tire base holding sectionmoves toward the first position Pat the same speed as the pushing-out speed of the tread pushing-out device. Thereby, the tread ring R is mounted on the outer peripheral surface TS of the tire base T.
