Abstract:
A system for checking at least one status parameter of a tire for a motor vehicle includes at least one wheel, including a tire mounted on a rim, an inner tube inserted into a cavity defined between the tire and the rim, a first device for measuring the at least one status parameter associated with the at least one wheel, a second device for transmitting a signal indicating a value measured by the first device, a third device for receiving the signal, and a fourth device for sensing movement of the at least one wheel and for enabling energization of the second device when the at least one wheel is moving, wherein the first, second, and fourth devices are housed in a container inserted into a wall of the inner tube in a radially-inner position of the inner tube with respect to the at least one wheel.
Abstract:
A valve structure for heavy duty applications in connection with off-the-road or agricultural vehicle tires. Such applications involve a substantial increase in the weight of tires so that the vehicles will acquire stability in maneuvering; e.g. in the case of muddy, rocky, hilly conditions or the like.
