  • Publication number: 20220352661
    Abstract: A conductor connection device with a contact element at one side thereof, a printed circuit board with the conductor connection device, and a utility meter with the printed circuit board are provided. In order to reduce production costs of the conductor connection device without increasing the production costs of the printed circuit board or the utility meter and without affecting operational safety, the conductor connection device comprises a conductor clamping element that is accessible via the second side thereof, and the printed circuit board comprises a through-hole that is aligned with the conductor clamping element.

  • Patent number: 11338631
    Abstract: A valve with elastic deformation and having a tubular core adapted to form an internal air passage from an external longitudinal end of the valve to an internal longitudinal end, the tubular core being at least partially surrounded by a sleeve of elastically deformable material and having a bulb shape widening in proximity to the internal longitudinal end of the valve and ending in an internal longitudinal bulb end. A cup made of rigid material includes a first portion facing an internal longitudinal bulb end face and at least one second portion curved away from the internal longitudinal end of the valve, the cup serving as a way of limiting deformation of the bulb.

  • Publication number: 20210170815
    Abstract: An inflation valve intended to be installed in a wheel rim orifice of a vehicle, the valve being of the elastic deformation type having a valve body made of an elastomer material and a hollow rigid tube. The inflation valve includes a device able to be fixed on the hollow rigid tube and having a portion allowing a rotational movement of the valve in a first rotational direction when the inflation valve is mounted in a hole of the rim, and a portion preventing the rotational movement of the valve in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the resulting device acting to limit an elastic deformation of the valve.

  • Patent number: 9290070
    Abstract: A wheel rim is equipped with an inflation valve (10) that is capable of elastic deformation adapted to be positioned in an opening (30) in the wheel rim (31) of a wheel of a motor vehicle. The valve (10) exhibits a valve body (12) made from an elastically deformable material surrounding a valve core (11) adapted to form an air passageway (15). The valve body (12) is provided with a sealing groove (21) adapted to receive the wheel rim, and with an intermediate part (22) having a diameter greater than the opening in the wheel rim. The inflation valve (10) is provided in addition with an element for the distribution (40) of shear forces pre-installed on the valve body (12). A method of installation of the inflation valve is also described.
