  • Publication number: 20240308793
    Abstract: A locking apparatus for locking to a movable frame includes a base, a latching hook which is pivotable relative to the base about a pivot pin extending in a transverse direction between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a latching apparatus for blocking the latching hook on the base in the locking position. The latching hook has a latching portion and a control portion, and the latching portion has a capturing contour for receiving a profile of a frame in the locking position. The latching hook is arranged such that, when a locking force is applied to the control portion, the latching hook is pivoted from the unlocking position into the locking position, and the latching apparatus is configured and arranged such that the latching hook is blocked automatically by the latching apparatus when the locking position is reached, in which the latching apparatus comes into a blocking position.

  • Patent number: 9475348
    Abstract: A method is provided to manage data transmitted between an RFID marker, which is mounted on a tire, and a wheel module, which is mounted on a rim. The wheel module includes a memory and at least one sensor. When the tire is mounted on the rim, a mounted assembly is formed, also known as a wheel, which is intended to be installed on a motor vehicle. According to the method, RFID data is transmitted between the RFID marker and the wheel module via an intermediate unit that is separate from the mounted assembly and the motor vehicle. The RFID data is stored in the memory of the wheel module. When the wheel module includes a sensor for detecting tire pressure, the RFID data stored in the memory of the wheel module is erased when a detected tire pressure is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150273955
    Abstract: This method can be used to manage data relating to an assembly (10) comprising a tyre (12), carrying an RFID marker (16), and a rim (14), carrying a wheel module (22) including at least one sensor (P, T). The assembly (10) can be in different states, notably a mounted state in which the tyre (12) is mounted on the rim (14) to form a mounted assembly (10), also called a wheel, intended to be fitted to a motor vehicle. According to this method, data are transmitted between the RFID marker (16) and the wheel module (22) via an intermediate unit (28), separate from the mounted assembly (10) and the motor vehicle, comprising data transmission means (42, 50, 52, 54). These data, called RFID data, are stored in the wheel module (22). The wheel module (22) comprises at least one sensor (P) of the pressure of the tyre, and the RFID data stored in the wheel module (22) are erased when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor (P) is less than or equal to a predetermined pressure threshold.
