Abstract:
1. A method of holding and transferring to prevent an unvulcanized rubber sheet from being deformed, comprising: providing a rubber member device for holding and transferring, comprising a first sheet receiving member including a separating surface capable of releasing from an unvulcanized rubber sheet, and a second sheet receiving member including fitting surfaces capable of adhering to the unvulcanized rubber sheet; placing the unvulcanized rubber sheet on the separating surface and the fitting surfaces without a difference in level being created there-between; adhering the fitting surfaces of the second sheet receiving member to the unvulcanized rubber sheet while not adhering the separating surface of the first sheet receiving member to the unvulcanized rubber sheet when the unvulcanized rubber sheet is supported by the separating surface and the fitting surfaces without a difference in level being created there-between; and retracting the second sheet receiving member so that the unvulcanized rubber sheet is supported only by the separating surface with a difference in level being created between the separating surface and the fitting surfaces.
