Tire-roll′er.
A form of rollingmill for tires in which the rolls between which the work is performed are made to overhang their bearings and be movable from or to each other, so as to allow the endless tire to be introduced between them and the parts then brought together, so that the
pass is complete.

The parts are shown open in the figure.
A is the roll to operate on the inner side of the tire, and has a flange
A′.
B is the roll to operate on the outside of the tire, and has a flange
B′. When the tire has been introduced between the rolls, edge up, the lower roll
B and its carriage
C are raised by means of the hydraulic ram
G, bringing the flange
B′ against the end of the roll, and the flange
A′ against the end of the roll
B, confining the tire, and bringing the required pressure to bear upon it.
