  • Patent number: 5339764
    Abstract: A device for optically displaying the pressure of a medium comprises a housing, a piston within the housing which is movable along a longitudinal axis against a restoring force, and an optically transparent element within the housing having a display surface which is visible from outside the housing. An inner wall of the optically transparent element delimits a cavity which is open towards the piston. A surface of a first color, e.g., green, is mounted on the piston and is movable therewith, the colored surface being received within the cavity of the optically transparent element. The optically transparent element includes a circumferential zone of a second color, e.g., red, which colored zone is not directly visible from outside the housing through the display surface.

The element changes its dimensional length depending on a temperature change. The element (14, 19, 20, 24) is disposed between a pressure measurement device (6, 11) and a valve (7, 8; 9, 10), serving as a signal generator. The device can be used for a monitoring of the pressure in a vehicle tire or of the gas density in a vehicle tire.

  • Patent number: 5181418
    Abstract: The invention device monitors the pressure of a measurement chamber subjected to the pressure prevailing in a vehicle tire. A pressure-sensitive device scans the tire pressure with a pressure measurement member in a measurement chamber. In case of a tire-pressure drop, the tire pressure is used to actuate an auxiliary actuator (3, 24, 26). The auxiliary actuator genrates the regulating distance (s) dependent on a tire pressure drop below a pressure value required for an actuation of the actuator (13). The regulating distance (s) is recognizable by a sensor. The invention device is suitable for providing a permanent signal even in case of an absence of pressure in the measurement chamber (21).

  • Patent number: 5101754
    Abstract: A device for the surveillance of the pressure of a vehicle tire includes a pressure-sensitive device which senses the tire pressure and generates, in case of a pressure loss in the tire, a pressure change signal. A set member is actuated with this pressure change signal such that the signal member performs a stroke. A sensor tests the position of the set member and recognizes when the tire pressure is too low. A pressure-sensitive device (1) includes a check valve (9, 12), opening toward the pressure discharge port (3). The pressure at the pressure discharge port (3) can be blocked versus the tire pressure based on the check valve (9, 12). The invention device is suitable for furnishing a continuous signal up to the complete emptying of a tire.

  • Patent number: 4369696
    Abstract: A vehicle door control valve device having a pair of two-way, electro-magnetically operated, pneumatic valve members arranged so that one valve member is operated to a first position, in which compressed air is supplied to one side of a pneumatic actuator that operates the door, while concurrently, a second identical valve member is operated to an opposite position, in which compressed air is exhausted from the other side of the pneumatic door actuator. The relative positions of the respective valve members may be alternately switched to effect door opening and closing. Operation of the valve members is electro-magnetically controlled by primary and secondary coils arranged to cooperate with a permanent magnet, so that only momentary energization of the coils is necessary to effect switching of the valve members. The arrangement is such that in the case of an emergency, opposite sides of the pneumatic door actuator are both de-pressurized to permit manual door operation.
