  • Publication number: 20140373991
    Abstract: An attachment support, which is designed for attaching a module to a wall (101) of a tyre (100), includes a substantially flexible body (11) of substantially elongate shape. The body (11) includes a connecting surface (26) capable of being placed substantially permanently against an internal wall (101) of the tyre (100), a second, free surface (28) opposite to the connecting surface (26), and at least one substantially cylindrical housing (20). The housing (20) has an axis at right angles to the second, free surface (28) of the body (11) and is open on the second, free surface (28). The housing (20) includes a first substantially cylindrical portion (22) extended by a chamber (21) of substantially cylindrical shape and coaxial with the first portion (22). The chamber (21) has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first portion (22) of the housing (20).

  • Patent number: 7493807
    Abstract: The invention concerns a tire provided with a capacitative sensor including two substantially parallel electrodes, the sensor being carried by a sidewall of the tire. The electrodes of the sensor lie substantially in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the tire and are substantially orientated in an ortho-radial direction. The invention also concerns a tire provided with a deformation sensor, a method for evaluating the deflection of a tire, and a deformation sensor.

  • Publication number: 20070227644
    Abstract: Instrumentation for a rubber article for the ground contact system of a vehicle, such as an anti-vibration coupling or a tire, may comprise the use of wiring (34) for electrical connection between functional units (36, 38). A connecting element having wiring (34), or an electrical harness, integrated into a support (32) of precured elastomer compatible with the rubbers of the tire. The electrical connecting element may constitute part of an overall instrumentation complex (30), which comprises functional units (36, 38), connections (34) and other accessories (40, 42) necessary for instrumentation of the tire, integrated into the support (32), the complex (30) being so shaped as to be capable of being affixed to the tire casing prior to vulcanization.
