Inventor: SEKO AKIKAZU
IPC: B29C33/20
Filed: 2002-08-27
Abstract: A tire press includes a sectional type mold which has an annular lower
mold section secured to an upper surface of a lower plate, an annular upper
mold section disposed under an upper plate which is vertically moveably placed
above the lower plate so that the upper mold section moves vertically along with
the upper plate, and a side mold section having a plurality of sectors divided
along a circumferential direction thereof and located radially outwardly of the
lower mold section in an openable and closable manner. Holding segments
which hold the sectors are provided on outer peripheral sides of the sectors.
The holding segments are placed on the lower plate so as to move forward and
away from the center of the annular lower mold section. Guide segments which
are engagable with and disengagable from outer peripheral sides of the holding
segments are suspended from the upper plate radially outwardly of the upper
mold section. First heating means are provided under the lower mold section,
second heating means are provided over the upper mold section, and third
heating means are provided on the outer peripheral side of the sectors. The
engagement of the guide segments with the holding segments causes the
holding segments to move forward to close the sectors, thereby setting a green
tire in the mold. After applying a pressure into the set green tire to inflate it, the
green tire is heated by the heating means to cure it.

Abstract: A method of repairing a flow passage is provided that allows
prevention of deformation of a tubular assembly after hardening of
grout material, to maintain the tubular assembly in a desired
cylindrical shape. The method comprises the steps of forming a tubular
assembly in a pipe, the tubular assembly having an outer diameter smaller
than an inner diameter of the pipe; filling a grout material in a
clearance between the tubular assembly and the inner wall of the pipe;
disposing a tubular expansible and contractile pressure bag within
the clearance between the tubular assembly and the inner wall of the
pipe in a longitudinal direction of the pipe; filling the pressure
bag with a fluid to expand the pressure bag; and supporting the tubular
assembly with the expanded pressure bag. With the foregoing process
of the present invention, slight deformation of the tubular assembly
due to the pressure of the grout material can be absorbed through elastic
deformation of the pressure bag to prevent partial deformation of the
hardened tubular assembly, thereby maintaining the overall tubular
assembly in the desired cylindrical shape.
