Claim Text:
1. An unloading device of a tire vulcanizer in which a vulcanized tire vulcanized by a vulcanizer main body is taken out of a mold installed in the vulcanizer main body and is transported to a cooling position at which the vulcanized tire is cooled, and the vulcanized tire cooled at the cooling position is transported to a discharge position for transfer to an exporting device for discharging the vulcanized tire, the unloading device comprising: a guide frame extending vertically; a base extending horizontally which is mounted to the guide frame; a rotational movement section including a rack gear which is mounted to the base and a pinion gear provided to mesh with teeth provided on a lateral side of the rack gear and rotate about a vertical axis; a support section mounted on the pinion gear and configured to support the vulcanized tire; and a linear movement section which is mounted to the base, the linear movement section being configured to linearly move the rack gear which is provided above the base in a direction away from or toward the guide frame, wherein the teeth provided on the rack gear are formed in a predetermined range such that meshing of the rack gear and the pinion gear is released when the vulcanized tire supported by the support section is rotated and positioned at the cooling position, wherein the linear movement section includes a cylinder configured to linearly move the support section with the pinion gear in a state that the meshing of the rack gear and the pinion gear is released at the cooling position, and wherein the rotational movement section is configured to rotate the support section in a plan view by rotation of the pinion gear when the linear movement section linearly moves the rack gear.
