Abstract
Storage or handling device comprising at least one pair of rollers (11), the axes (rr′) of which are mutually parallel and are arranged a suitable distance (d) apart such that they can support a carcass (2) of substantially cylindrical shape of a tire that is in the process of being manufactured. The rollers (11) are mounted on a chassis (12) and are driven in rotation in the same direction (R) about their respective axes (rr′). One of the rollers (11) of the said pair has a radial profile of sinusoidal overall shape comprising a succession of crests and of troughs, and the other roller of the said pair has a cylindrical overall profile.
