Einrichtung an Fahrzeugen zum Überwachen des Luftdrucks in dessen Reifen

摘要

The proposed device is fitted to vehicles equipped with pneumatic tyres and is used for monitoring tyre pressure. The device comprises: a pressure measurement sensor on each of the wheels (2) being monitored; a transmitter mounted next to each pressure measurement sensor which emits signals carrying the pressure data from the pressure measurement sensor; and a receiver for those signals fitted on the vehicle chassis near the appropriate wheel. An antenna (7a, 8a) is mounted next to each wheel (2), or a sensor (4) is used as the antenna. The antenna or sensor uses an electrical wire (7, 8) belonging to another monitoring device (4) allocated to the same wheel (2).
