Tire compressing and handling apparatus

摘要: An apparatus for preparing pneumatic tires shipping and storage including compressing handling a plurality of by positioning same in group side-by-side relation substantially coaxially aligned, the group, moving compressed to structure, said structure which handles one or more groups maintains condition until selectively released. The includes support having at least pair laterally spaced, longitudinally extending rails mounted thereon adapted receive selected between facing jaws platens are movable toward each other compress therebetween. Spaced finger hand assembly engage ends tire move away spread release held groups. is movement from path thereby being remove structure. also position adjacent on pallet compression maintenance has an ejection member therein retracted within permitting during out into while condition.
