  • Publication number: 20260200272
    Abstract: An electronic system (1000) having a member (10) and a retaining device (510). The retaining device has a base (511), a retaining wall (512) extending from the base (511) as far as an edge (513) and defining an open volume (520) that accommodates the member (10). The volume (520) having an opening (516) delimited by the edge (513). The member (10) having a housing (12) circumscribed inside a cylinder (17) having an axis of revolution (15); and wherein the retaining wall has a projecting element (550) radially on the outside of the free edge (513), extending over a thickness (e) along the axis of revolution (15), and the housing (12) has a groove (51) defining a second volume (52) which is able to accommodate the projecting element (550) of the retaining wall (512).

  • Publication number: 20260175631
    Abstract: A device (10) for securing an electronic member to a wall of a tire, having a base (11) secured to the wall of the tire via an external surface (15) and a retaining wall (12). The retaining wall (12) extends from the base (11) as far as a free edge (13) and defines an open volume (20) with the base (11). The volume (20), which is able to accommodate at least a part of the electronic member, has an opening (16) delimited by the free edge (13) of the retaining wall (12), which is able to deform for the insertion or extraction of the electronic member into or from the volume (20). The external surface (15) of the base (11) has an array of recessed elements (101, 201) and protruding elements (102, 202) defining a maximum variation in height of between 10 ?m and 200 ?m.

  • Patent number: 12122111
    Abstract: The installation for manufacturing a bead wire intended to reinforce a pneumatic tire, said installation comprising a receiving table which is adapted to receive a braided torus which comprises a braid wire which extends longitudinally from a first end section to a second end section, a cutting tool, a crimping tool adapted to crimp a sleeve around said first and second end sections, and a configuration unit which is adapted automatically to switch the installation from a cutting configuration in which the receiving table cooperates with the cutting tool so as to position the braided torus and the first and second end sections so that said first and second end sections are sectioned by the cutting tool to a crimping configuration in which the receiving table cooperates with the crimping tool.

  • Patent number: 12036758
    Abstract: The method includes procuring an annular core 3 of main axis Z3. The core is closed on itself by a core join 6 which occupies, in azimuth about said main axis Z3, a first angular sector S6. Then, a braiding is performed by helically winding, about the core 3, a braid wire 4 that is held closed by a braid join 8, of sleeve 9 type, which occupies a second angular sector S8. A method during which a registration element 16, with respect to which the position of the first angular sector S6 is known, is sought and detected on the core 3, and the azimuthal orientation of the core 3 is adapted during the braiding, with reference to said registration element 16, so that the second angular sector S8 occupied by the braid join 8 does not overlap the first angular sector S6 occupied by the core join 6.

  • Patent number: 11945183
    Abstract: A crimping station comprising a crimping tool designed to crimp a sleeve around a first end portion of a thread and around a second end portion of a thread, said crimping station comprising a sleeve preparation subassembly which has a feed device that supplies a metal strip and conveys said strip as far as a shaping device designed to plastically deform said strip in order to give said strip a concave curved cross section, so as to obtain a preformed strip, and then as far as a cutting device which is designed to sever a portion of length of said preformed strip in order to obtain a sleeve preform that a loading tool places within the crimping tool.
