Abstract:
A dismountable toroidal support for tyre manufacture, comprising:a plurality of sectors circumferentially aligned around a geometric reference axis to define an outer surface substantially reproducing an inner conformation of a tyre being processed; a flange carrying at least one attachment member for engagement with a handling device; a counter-flange to be operatively linked with the flange at an axially-opposite position; and engagement devices for fixedly holding the sectors between the flange and the counter-flange; wherein each of the sectors has a main body with a substantially U-shaped outline, seen in cross-section, which is delimited between an outer side defining an outer surface and an inner side facing the geometric reference axis, and wherein the engagement devices comprise, for each of the sectors, at least one attachment plate radially projecting from a respective inner side substantially in a plane normal to the geometric reference axis and adapted to be removably engaged at a position axially interposed between the flange and the counter-flange.
