1. In a tire pressure detector for motor vehicles, comprising an electric oscillating circuit having a coupling coil;
- a pressure element connected with said circuit in series and acted upon by air pressure in a vehicle tire, the oscillating circuit being fastened at a circumference of a wheel rim;
a signal receiver including a signal receiver coil (31), wherein the coupling coil, which revolves with the wheel rim, cooperates with said receiver coil which is located opposite said coupling coil and is arranged in the area of the wheel rim so as to be stationary and sense the oscillation of the oscillating circuit; and
an evaluting circuit connected to said signal receiver coil, the improvement comprising a plate-shaped ferrite core (23) having a middle limb (22), the coupling coil (18) being arranged on the middle limb (22) of the plate-shaped ferrite core (23).

Abstract
A tire pressure detector for motor vehicles which is to be fastened at the circumference of a wheel rim and comprises an oscillating circuit having coupling coil which cooperates with a stationary receiver coil. In order to increase the minimum air gap between the rotating coupling coil and the stationary receiver coil, the coupling coil, which rotates with the wheel rim, is arranged on a middle limb of a plate-shaped ferrite core. The magnetic coupling for the stationary receiver coil is improved by means of the shape of the ferrite core (23).
