Fastening device for an electronic module

A method for attaching an electronic module to a vehicle wheel rim, comprising:

• coupling a spring element to a drop base of the vehicle wheel rim;
• and
• clamping the electronic module between the spring element and the drop base;
• positioning a first bottom portion of the electronic module into a first seat position;
• positioning a second bottom portion of the electronic module into a second seat position;
• and
• positioning a center of gravity of the electronic module between a line formed between the first and second seat position and the drop base.

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
• a seal and a stop ring coupled to the free end of the spring element,
• wherein the stop ring compensates pressures exerted on the seal.

A method for attaching an electronic module to a vehicle wheel rim, comprising:

• coupling a spring element to a drop base of the vehicle wheel rim;
• clamping the electronic module between the spring element and the drop base;
• the coupling of the spring element to the drop base comprising locating a valve body to extend through the drop base;
• and
• attaching a first leg of the spring element to the valve body.

A method for attaching an electronic module to a vehicle wheel rim, comprising:

• coupling a spring element to a drop base of the vehicle wheel rim;
• clamping the electronic module between the spring element and the drop base;
• and
• the clamping of the electronic module comprising:
• exerting a substantially constant first force on a top portion of the electronic module toward the drop base;
• and
• exerting a substantially constant second force, greater than the substantially constant first force, on the top portion of the electronic module toward the drop base when a centrifugal force is greater than the substantially constant first force.

A method for attaching an electronic module to a vehicle wheel rim, comprising:

• coupling a spring element to a drop base of the vehicle wheel rim;
• clamping the electronic module between the spring element and the drop base;
• and
• the clamping of the electronic module comprising contacting a top of the electronic module with a leg of the spring element to exert a clamping force.

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.

A device in combination with an electronic module for detachably fastening the 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;
• the electronic module comprising an approximately triangular cross-section including a top and two legs;
• and
• the top comprising a surface arched and the two legs having different lengths,
• wherein the electronic module further includes a center of gravity located between a connecting line between seating points of the electronic module and the vehicle wheel rim.
