Device for articulating a tire-pressure sensor on a motor vehicle rim
First Claim
1. A device (10) for articulating a tire-pressure sensor to a motor vehicle rim (16), said device consisting of:
- a tire-inflation valve (11) having a base (13) and designed to come into contact with a corresponding part (18) of a tire-pressure sensor electronic unit (12), said valve further having a threaded shank (14) designed to be introduced through an orifice (22) in a wheel rim and to protrude outward from this rim, said valve base being situated in the continuation of the shank, and a tire-pressure electronic unit (12) housing the valve base, said unit being pressed against the bottom of the rim (16) by tightening a securing nut (15) onto the threaded part of the shank of the valve, said articulating device being characterized in that the valve base has a roughly spherical part collaborating with a region of corresponding shape formed on the electronic unit.
