The present invention relates to an improved venting apparatus installed in a tire vulcanizing mold (40). In the venting apparatus, an inner diameter of a center through hole (46) formed in the casing (44) is gradually increased in an upper direction and is gradually decreased in a lower direction for thereby forming a tapered shape. The angles of the slant surfaces of the valve head (56) point-contacting with an upper corner portion (58) of the center through hole (46) are different, so that a discharging capability of air is enhanced, and it is possible to prevent a formation of a vent rubber in a finished tire which vent rubber is formed when a rubber flows into a venting apparatus. In addition, it is possible to prevent an error operation during a vulcanization and to extend a life span of a venting apparatus. The maintenance is easier.
