Abstract
A safety insert designed to be mounted in an assembly comprising a tire and a rim of a vehicle and device for detecting the bearing of the tire on an insert, so that the insert generates signals oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the tire and rim assembly and so that the device detects and analyzes the vibrating signals of the chassis of the vehicle.
Claims13
A safety insert designed to be mounted in an assembly comprising a tire and a rim of a vehicle and radially on the outside of the rim, the insert having a radially outer bearing surface which defines a radial bearing for the crown of the tire when the tire is deflated and means for generating vibrating warning signals on a run-flat condition, wherein the means is configured to generate the vibrating warning signals by generating vibrations oriented in a transverse direction, parallel to an axis of rotation of the tire and rim assembly.
