Abstract: An arrangement having a device for measuring the tire pressure in a pneumatic tire, wich device is enclosed in a casing which is located inside the pneumatic tire when the pneumatic tire has been mounted on a wheel and also having spring acting resiliently upon the casing and a holder for the spring, which is to be fixed to the wheel. According to the invention, the spring and the casing are so designed and adapted one to the other that the casing finds support on the holder and is clamped for this purpose between the spring and the holder.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and signaling by radio a pressure or a change in pressure in pneumatic tires of wheels on vehicles consists of a receiver unit provided in or on the vehicle to which at least one antenna is associated, and of a unit, arranged in the pneumatic tire, for measuring, evaluating and transmitting tire pressure signals.

Abstract: An arrangement comprising a device for measuring the tyre pressure in a pneumatic tyre, which device is enclosed in a casing (1) which is located inside the pneumatic tyre when the pneumatic tyre has been mounted on a wheel, and further comprising a spring (2) acting resiliently upon the casing (1), and a holder (3, 25) for the spring (2) to be fixed on the wheel.

Abstract: An arrangement for transmitting signals from a device (3) for monitoring the tire pressure in vehicle wheels (1), being arranged in the tire preferably as one module together with a valve, and comprising a pressure sensor arranged for measuring the tire pressure and generating an electric pressure signal, a control circuit, a battery as power source, and a transmitter with a sending antenna for transmitting the measured pressure signal as a radio-frequency (RF) signal under the control of the control circuit to a central evaluation and control unit (8), which is arranged in the vehicle (2) and which is connected to receiving antennas (4), to which individual wheels (1) or groups of wheels (1) of the vehicle (2) are allocated, via a RF receiver which comprises a demodulator and transforms the received RF signals to low-frequency (LF) signals.

Abstract: A method for allocating identifiers, that are contained in signals issued by transmitters arranged in a tire pressure monitoring system, to the positions of the wheels by transmitting the signals to a receiving and analysis circuit, which analyses the information, contained in the signal, wherein for differentiating between wheels on the right side of the vehicle and wheels on the left side of the vehicle, the sign of a translation acceleration b is determined for each running wheel, the sign of the variation of the centrifugal acceleration z occurring during the translation acceleration b is additionally determined and multiplied by the sign of the translation acceleration b determined for the respective wheel, and the differentiation between wheels on the right side of the vehicle and wheels on the left side of the vehicle is effected by comparing the products of the two signs determined for the wheels.

Abstract: A method for operating a device for monitoring and indicating a pressure change in vehicle tires by wire, being preferably arranged in the tire as one module together with the tire valve, and comprising a current source, a pressure sensor arranged for measuring the tire pressure at first time intervals, an analog/digital converter for digitizing a pressure signal obtained from the pressure sensor, a memory for storing the pressure signal, a transmitter for transmitting the measured tire pressure information to a receiving unit located in the vehicle, a comparator, especially one realized in one module with a microprocessor, which compares the pressure signal with a previously stored comparison pressure signal and controls the transmitter in such a way that the transmitter will transmit signals at second time intervals greater than the first time intervals, so long as the decrease of the pressure signal, relative to the comparison pressure signal (drift), does not exceed a threshold value, but will transmit si

Abstract: The system for monitoring and signalling by radio a pressure or a change in pressure in pneumatic tires of wheels (1) on vehicles (2) consists of a receiver unit (9) provided in or on the vehicle (1) to which at least one antenna (6, 7) is associated, and of a unit (3), arranged in the pneumatic tire, for measuring, evaluating and transmitting tire pressure signals, hereinafter referred to as “wheel-mounted electronic unit”, the latter comprising

Abstract: An arrangement made up of an electrical circuit board (7) and an electrical pressure transducer (1) which has, in a housing (2), a pressure sensor onto which the pressure to be measured is transferred by means of a fluid through a channel (5) leading into the housing (2), and from which there proceed electrical lines which project out of the housing (2) as leads (4) and are connected to the circuit board (7). The channel (5) is shielded on the outer side of the housing (2) so that the flow resistance for fluid entering and leaving the channel (5) increases.

Abstract: A method for processing signals of a tire pressure monitoring system on vehicles on each of whose N wheels (R1 through R5) a transmitter is mounted and a reception antenna (1 through 5) which is connected to the input of a common receiver (8) is allocated to each transmitter in its vicinity, the transmitters transmitting, at time intervals, data telegrams which contain an individual identifier and a data portion following the latter. The signals received simultaneously from the reception antennas (1 through 5) and having the same identifier are conveyed in summed fashion to the receiver (8), alternately from all N reception antennas (1 through 5) and from N-1 reception antennas (1, 2, 4, 5), such that the one reception antenna (3) whose signal is blanked out of the sum of the signals is selected by cyclical transposition from the total number N of reception antennas (1 through 5).
