  • Publication number: 20240085243
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tubular wire shielding (9) for an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement (1), the tubular wire shielding (9) comprising a first shielding tube (13) comprising one or more through channels for accommodating one or more wires (6a, 6b, 8a, 8b, 11 a, 11b) and/or for accommodating one or more temperature measurement sensors (7), the tubular wire shielding (9) furthermore comprising a second shielding tube (14) radially surrounding the first shielding tube (14). It is an object of the invention to provide a tubular wire shielding (9) and an exhaust temperature sensor arrangement (1) which are of good mechanical stability. The object is solved in that the tubular wire shielding (9) comprises a first tube adhesive layer (15) arranged interposed between the first shielding tube (13) and the second shielding tube (14), the first tube adhesive layer (15) fixing the first shielding tube to the second shielding tube (14).

  • Patent number: 9015947
    Abstract: A method for locking a tire to a wheel rim, includes the steps of mounting a tubular tire locking element on the wheel rim, which tubular locking member is arranged with a valve, which valve is pushed through a hole in the rim; mounting a tire on the rim such that the tire encloses the tubular tire locking element and a pressure chamber is obtained between the tire locking element and the tire; pressurizing the tubular tire locking element via the valve such that it expands, whereby the beads of the tire are pressed against the flanges of the wheel rim; inserting a hollow needle through the tire and into the pressure chamber, which hollow needle is connected to a pressurized air source; pressurizing the pressure chamber to desired pressure, removing the hollow needle; and sealing the hole caused by the needle with sealing fluid or plug.
