<p>#CMT# #/CMT# The support (18) has a housing (22) for a control unit (20) of a tire (14), for fixing the unit (20) to the support, where the housing has a retention force which is less at atmospheric pressure. The force increases when pressure of pressurized air surrounding the support increases, where the support is made of alveolar foam with closed slots. The housing has a retention unit activating unit to pass the retention unit from one position to another, where the activating unit is controlled by the air pressure. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an assembly of a support and a control unit of a tire (2) a tire including a support (3) a wheel including a support. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for being integrated to an assembly of a wheel and a tire, for supporting a pneumatic control unit e.g. pressure sensor, temperature sensor or pneumatic identification device, for providing information concerning tire to a logic controller of a motor vehicle equipped with the tire. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The retention force increases when pressure of air surrounding the support increases, thus permitting to integrate the control unit to the support in a simple and rapid manner, while permitting easy replacement of defective units. The material of the support permits better distribution of force created by the support on the control unit, and good protection of the control unit. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a pneumatic control unit support. 14 : Tire 16 : Wheel and tire assembly 18 : Pneumatic control unit support 20 : Control unit 22 : Housing #CMT#POLYMERS : #/CMT# The alveolar foam is formed from materials such as polyethylene, polyurethane, 1-2 polybutadiene, polyisobutylene, polyisoprene, butyl rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, nitrile rubber and polyvinyl chloride.</p> |
