  • Tire module and tire comprising a module of this type
    Patent number: 7631554
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tire module for sensing tire condition variables with a spring element (2) clamped on one end and a converting unit (2, 3, 4, 6, 7), in which kinetic energy is converted into electric energy. The spring element (2) is a bar spring, torsion spring, or leaf spring, with a seismic mass (3) being arranged at the end of the spring element that is not clamped, and the spring element transmits acceleration jumps of the seismic mass (3) to the converting unit (2, 3, 4, 6, 7).
    Type: Grant
