  • Patent number: 11548331
    Abstract: A tire casing is equipped with a radiofrequency transponder and includes a crown, two sidewalls and two beads revolving around a reference axis, first threads forming outward segments and return segments that are arranged adjacently, aligned circumferentially, anchored in the two beads with, in each bead, loops in each case linking an outward segment to a return segment and, in each bead, means for anchoring the first threads, comprising second threads oriented circumferentially axially bordering the first threads and forming at least one spiral, the first threads forming at least one circumferential alignment defining the carcass ply that separates said tire casing into two zones, inside and outside with respect to this carcass ply.

  • Patent number: 10974553
    Abstract: A tire casing is equipped with a radiofrequency transponder and includes a crown, two sidewalls and two beads, each bead including at least one annular bead wire revolving around a reference axis, at least one annular carcass ply, coaxial with the reference axis anchored in the beads separating the tire casing into two zones, inside and outside the carcass ply. The radiofrequency transponder comprises at least one electronic chip and a radiating radiocommunication antenna and is positioned radially externally in relation to said bead wire, characterized in that the radiofrequency transponder comprises a primary antenna electrically connected to the electronic chip, in that the primary antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the radiating antenna, and in that the radiating antenna is formed by a strand helical spring defining a first longitudinal axis.
