Claims27
A tire pressure sensor housing for a motor vehicle, arranged to be mounted on a wheel rim, comprising a body extended by a plurality of elastically deformable wings, the wings being of variable height and having end portions for resting on the wheel rim, wherein the body comprises means for positional fixing and is configured to hold a pressure sensor.
A tire pressure sensor housing for a motor vehicle arranged to be mounted on a wheel rim comprising:
- a body configured to hold a pressure sensor;
- and
- a plurality of elastically deformable wings coupled to the body, the wings having end portions for resting on the wheel rim;
- wherein the housing is configured to be mounted on the substantially cylindrical surface portion of a wheel rim around which portion a tire will be mounted.
A tire pressure sensor housing for a motor vehicle arranged to be mounted on a wheel rim comprising:
- a body configured to hold a pressure sensor;
- a plurality of means for resting the housing on the wheel rim, which means are coupled to the body;
- and
- a means for fixing the housing to the wheel rim;
- wherein the housing is configured to be mounted on the substantially cylindrical surface portion of a wheel rim around which portion a tire will be mounted.
A tire pressure sensor for a motor vehicle arranged to be mounted on a wheel comprising:
- a housing having an external plane;
- a printed circuit board coupled to the housing and carrying components of a tire pressure sensor;
- and
- a plurality of wings coupled to the housing having support regions at one end and a height defined between at least one of the support regions and the external plane of the housing, wherein the height is variable.
A housing for a component to be mounted on a wheel rim, comprising:
- a body configured to hold the component;
- and
- a plurality of elastically deformable wings coupled to the body, the wings having end portions for resting on the rim;
- wherein the housing is configured to be mounted on the substantially cylindrical surface portion of a wheel rim around which portion a tire will be mounted.
