38. A device for detachably fastening an electronic module to a rim of a vehicle wheel having a pneumatic tire, comprising:
-
a spring element including a free end, the electronic module to be clamped between the free end and the rim; and the free end comprising a longitudinal split forming an outer part and an inner part, the inner part comprising a greater rigidity than the outer part, wherein the outer part produces a prestress force to be exerted on the electronic module to position the electronic module in a drop base and absorbs at least a part of a centrifugal force or a reaction force to be exerted on the electronic module, wherein the inner part is to be coupled with a support face of the electronic module and forms a spring path limiting device of the outer part when the outer part cannot absorb an intense centrifugal force.
