Device for transmitting measuring signals, for example, for the tire pressure, to twin wheels of motor vehicles
First Claim
1. Device for the transmission of measuring signals of tire pressures in twin wheels of motor vehicles, which twin wheels are each formed of two individual wheels having rim pot bases adjoined one another, the device comprising at least two sensors (13, 14) each provided on an outer rim of each individual wheel of a twin wheel;
- at least two signal transmitters (17, 18 and 19,
20) arranged on each individual wheel (2,
3) in a region of an outer rim edge (15,
16) thereof;
coupling devices each provided on a rim of each individual wheel and connecting said signal transmitters to said sensors in such a way that a first signal transmitter (17) of a first wheel (2) of the twin wheel is electrically connected with a sensor (13) of the first wheel (2) and with a signal transmitter (20) of a second wheel (3), and a signal transmitter (18) of the first wheel (2) is electrically connected with a sensor (14) of the second wheel (3); and
a stationary signal receiver (21) positioned in the region of the outer rim edge (15 or
16) of one of individual wheels (2) at a distance from it.

Abstract
A device for the transmission of measuring signals for the tire pressure of twin wheels of motor vehicles comprises for the purpose of enabling a simple exchange of the individual wheels in the twin wheel at least two signal transmitters which are arranged at each individual wheel in the area of the free outer rim edge in such a way that the first signal transmitter of the first wheel is electrically connected with a sensor of the first wheel and with the signal transmitter of the second wheel, and the signal transmitter of the first wheel is electrically connected with a sensor of the second wheel and with the second signal transmitter of the second wheel by means of coupling devices which are arranged on the rims. A stationary signal receiver is provided in the area of the free outer rim edge of the respective inner individual wheel at a distance from it.
