  • Patent number: 10688838
    Abstract: A housing for an electronic module for an electronic unit for measuring operating parameters of the wheel of a vehicle which is able to collaborate with a “snap-in” type inflation valve, including a valve body made of an elastomer material, provided with a longitudinal axial bore and intended to extend through an orifice made in a rim, and a hollow tubular core made of a rigid material. A front face of the electronic module housing being connected to the inflation valve using a connecting device. The electronic module is configured to prevent the electronic module from pivoting about an axis defined by the housing connecting device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2016
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020

  • Patent number: 9895944
    Abstract: A module (25) for measuring at least one parameter of a tire of a wheel of a motor vehicle, the wheel having a wheel rim (1). The measurement module (25) includes an inflation valve (30) designed to be assembled on the wheel rim (1) and including a deformable body (32) and a hollow rod (31) passing through the body (32) including an assembly notch (36) and a sensor device (40), mounted slidingly on the hollow rod (31), including at least one sensor for measuring the value of the parameter and an element (42) for immobilizing the sensor device (40) in the assembly notch (36). The assembly notch (36) has a setting range enabling the movement of the immobilizing element (42) in the assembly notch (36) between a first setting position and a second setting position to adapt to the thickness of the wheel rim (1).

  • Patent number: 7886589
    Abstract: An electronic unit for measuring operating parameters of a vehicle wheel, including an electronic module (1) and an inflation valve (2) comprising a body (6, 7) designed to extend through an orifice arranged in a wheel rim, and an assembly head (4) separated from the body by a shoulder forming a face for locking the inflation valve against the rim. The electronic module (1) includes an outer wall (13, 14) defining a lateral housing for the assembly head (4) of the inflation valve (2), delimited by a metal plate (11) made in one piece with the electronic module, for pressing of the locking face of the assembly head, and furnished with a notch for the body (6, 7) of the inflation valve to pass through.
