  • Patent number: 11338631
    Abstract: A valve with elastic deformation and having a tubular core adapted to form an internal air passage from an external longitudinal end of the valve to an internal longitudinal end, the tubular core being at least partially surrounded by a sleeve of elastically deformable material and having a bulb shape widening in proximity to the internal longitudinal end of the valve and ending in an internal longitudinal bulb end. A cup made of rigid material includes a first portion facing an internal longitudinal bulb end face and at least one second portion curved away from the internal longitudinal end of the valve, the cup serving as a way of limiting deformation of the bulb.

  • Patent number: 11217927
    Abstract: An electrical connection system for connecting two electrical devices, including at least one elastic contact integral with a first electrical device and in elastic abutment against a second electrical device so as to form an electrical connection. The at least one elastic contact being able to deform in a deformation plane. At least one wall placed so that the elastic contact is placed between the wall and the second electrical device in the deformation plane. The at least one elastic contact, the at least one wall, and the second electrical device being coated in a protective material after assembly.

  • Patent number: 11142028
    Abstract: A tire monitoring system electronic unit suitable for being mounted either on the tire inflation valve or on the internal surface of the tire. The system includes electronics for managing the electronic unit including sensors for measuring parameters of the tire, a microprocessor and a supply battery, and an antenna configured to be mountable on the management electronics; a way of securing the antenna and the electronic managing device to each other; the management electronics thus forming a common base capable of being used with an antenna that can be adapted to the intended location of the electronic unit, either on the tire inflation valve or on the internal surface of the tire.

  • Publication number: 20210170815
    Abstract: An inflation valve intended to be installed in a wheel rim orifice of a vehicle, the valve being of the elastic deformation type having a valve body made of an elastomer material and a hollow rigid tube. The inflation valve includes a device able to be fixed on the hollow rigid tube and having a portion allowing a rotational movement of the valve in a first rotational direction when the inflation valve is mounted in a hole of the rim, and a portion preventing the rotational movement of the valve in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the resulting device acting to limit an elastic deformation of the valve.

  • Patent number: 10940723
    Abstract: An electronic unit for measuring operating parameters of a vehicle wheel, including: an inflation valve of the “snap-in” type having a valve body made of an elastically deformable material, and a rigid hollow tube, an electronics casing, and a device for attaching the electronic casing and of the inflation valve. The device for attaching the electronics casing and the inflation valve consists of a solid pin made from a material having a density lower than that of the material of which the rigid hollow tube is made and having longitudinal grooves that allow a flow of air to pass through the valve, a proximal portion of the pin being configured to be attached to the electronics casing, and a distal portion of the pin being configured to be attached to the rigid hollow tube of the inflation valve.
