  • 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: 9290070
    Abstract: A wheel rim is equipped with an inflation valve (10) that is capable of elastic deformation adapted to be positioned in an opening (30) in the wheel rim (31) of a wheel of a motor vehicle. The valve (10) exhibits a valve body (12) made from an elastically deformable material surrounding a valve core (11) adapted to form an air passageway (15). The valve body (12) is provided with a sealing groove (21) adapted to receive the wheel rim, and with an intermediate part (22) having a diameter greater than the opening in the wheel rim. The inflation valve (10) is provided in addition with an element for the distribution (40) of shear forces pre-installed on the valve body (12). A method of installation of the inflation valve is also described.

  • Patent number: 6709327
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for reducing preheating time and for homogenizing temperatures in a passenger compartment, for example of a motor vehicle, wherein the preheating dynamics is improved, which consists in adjusting soft air diffusion air speed in an optimized range of values. In one embodiment, the air circulating device comprises at least a ventilator (8) and at least a soft air diffusion conduit (2), having at its open end an air permeable panel (4) which ensures a soft air diffusion in the passenger compartment. The invention is characterized in that the ventilator, the conduit (2) and the panel (4) are dimensioned so that, at maximum ventilated air flow rate, the diffused air speed ranges between 2 and 5 m/s. The device further comprises at least a ventilation conduit (3), said conduit being dimensioned so that, at maximum air flow blown by the ventilator, the air speed at the ventilating nozzles substantially ranges between 2 m/s and 10 m/s.
