Abstract

There is described a shaped object adapted for being connected with a rim at a point located inside the rim well ( 7 ), having a contact surface ( 2 ) intended to rest on the rim well. It is provided according to the invention that the contact surface ( 2 ) intersects each of a set of mutually parallel first planes ( 3 ) along a curved curve ( 5 ), which is not merely an arc of a circle and whose distance from a second plane ( 6 ), that subdivides the contact surface ( 2 ) and that extends perpendicularly to the first planes ( 3 ) increases with a decreasing growth rate, at least in average, at least on one side of the second plane ( 6 ).

Claims (9)

1. A shaped object, in combination with a rim of a wheel, said shaped object located inside the rim's well, having a contact surface intended to rest on the rim well, wherein the contact surface intersects each, of a set of mutually parallel first planes along a curved surface which is generally elliptical, said curved surface having a radius of curvature which has a curvature growth rate, wherein the growth rate decreases to a limit value as the distance of the curve from a second plane rises, and then remains constant as the distance continues to rise.

2. The shaped object as defined in claim 1 , wherein the shaped object is attached to the rim well by a bonding agent between the contact surface and the rim well.

3. The shaped object as defined in claim 1 , wherein it is a carrier or a holder for a housing.

4. The shaped object as defined in claim 1 , wherein it is a housing.

5. The shaped object as defined in claim 4 , wherein the housing contains a device for measuring the pressure and/or the temperature in a pneumatic tire which is mounted on the rim.

6. A rim with a shaped object as defined in claim 1 , which has its contact surface connected with the rim at a point inside the rim well by a substance connection.

7. A rim as defined in claim 6 , wherein the shaped object is bonded to the rim well.

8. A Shaped Object adapted for being connected with a rim at a point located inside the rim well, as according to claim 1 , wherein the Shaped Object is attached to the rim well by a bonding agent between the contact surface and the rim well.

9. A Shaped Object as defined in claim 8 , wherein said bonding agent is a durable bonding agent.
