ELECTRONIC UNIT FOR MEASURING WORKING PARAMETERS OF A VEHICLE WHEEL
First Claim
1. An electronic unit for measuring working parameters of a vehicle wheel, comprising:
- an inflation valve (2) suitable for being rigidly connected on a wheel rim, including;
a valve body (3) made up of a shaft (5) and of an abutment head (6) which are separated by a neck (7) in the shape of an annular groove,and a hollow rigid tube (14) extending in the valve body (3), continued by an assembling section (14c) in a continuation of the abutment head (6) of said valve body,an electronic box (1) provided with an assembling sleeve (17) suitable for housing the assembling section (14c) of the rigid tube (14),and means (21, 27) for rigidly connecting the electronic box (1) and the inflation valve (2), in a position of said electronic box where the latter extends in a direct continuation of said inflation valve,said electronic unit being characterized in that the means for rigidly connecting the electronic box (1) and the inflation valve (2) comprise;
an annular piece (22) housed in the neck (7) of the valve body (3), which piece is continued by at least one arm (23) for connection between said annular piece and the electronic box (1), extending externally along the abutment head (6) and in a continuation of said abutment head,members (19, 24, 27) for fixing the connecting arm (23) on the electronic box (1).

Abstract
An electronic unit includes an electronic box (1) and a “snap-in” inflation valve (2) made up of a shaft (5) and of an abutment head (6) which are separated by a neck (7) in the shape of an annular groove. The electronic box (1) and the inflation valve (2) are rigidly connected by element, firstly, of an annular piece (22) housed in the neck (7) of the valve body (3), which piece is continued by at least one arm (23) for connecting the annular piece with the electronic box (1), extending externally along the abutment head (6) and in a continuation of the latter, and, secondly, of members (27) for fixing the connecting arm (23) on the electronic box (1).
