Abstract

A post-cure tire inflator includes a rigidly mounted bottom frame, and moveable middle and top frames. The middle and bottom frames form a bottom cavity, and the top and middle frames form a top cavity. A bottom cavity holder assembly includes a bottom cavity upper rim plate mounted to the middle frame and capable of moving together with the middle frame. A bottom cavity lower rim plate is mounted to the bottom frame and is capable of moving radially IN and OUT with respect to the bottom frame. A top cavity holder assembly includes a top cavity upper rim plate mounted to the top frame and capable of moving together with the top frame. A top cavity lower rim plate is mounted to the middle frame and is capable of moving together with the middle frame and further capable of moving radially IN and OUT with respect to the middle frame.
