Support and insert for attaching a module to a tire wall
View Patent ↗An attachment support, which is designed for attaching a module to a wall ( 101 ) of a tyre ( 100 ), includes a substantially flexible body ( 11 ) of substantially elongate shape. The body ( 11 ) includes a connecting surface ( 26 ) capable of being placed substantially permanently against an internal wall ( 101 ) of the tyre ( 100 ), a second, free surface ( 28 ) opposite to the connecting surface ( 26 ), and at least one substantially cylindrical housing ( 20 ). The housing ( 20 ) has an axis at right angles to the second, free surface ( 28 ) of the body ( 11 ) and is open on the second, free surface ( 28 ). The housing ( 20 ) includes a first substantially cylindrical portion ( 22 ) extended by a chamber ( 21 ) of substantially cylindrical shape and coaxial with the first portion ( 22 ). The chamber ( 21 ) has a diameter greater than the diameter of the first portion ( 22 ) of the housing ( 20 ).
1. An attachment support for attaching a module to a wall of a tire, the attachment support comprising:
a flexible body of an elongate shape, the body including:
a connecting surface configured to be attached permanently against a wall of a tire by an adhesive layer, and
a second, free surface opposite to the connecting surface; and
at least one cylindrical housing disposed in the body, an axis of the housing being at right angles to the second, free surface of the body, wherein
the housing is open on the second, free surface, and
the housing includes a first portion that is cylindrical and is extended by a chamber of a cylindrical shape, the chamber being coaxial with the first portion and having a diameter greater than a diameter of the first portion.
2. The attachment support according to claim 1 , wherein the body is formed of rubbery materials.
3. The attachment support according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting surface includes an adhesive.
4. The attachment support according to claim 1 , further comprising a peripheral edge attached to the body, the peripheral edge including a top surface connected to the connecting surface at a junction, wherein the top surface and the connecting surface form an angle (α) at the junction, and wherein the angle (α) is between 9 and 15 degrees.
5. The attachment support according to claim 1 , further comprising a peripheral edge attached to the body, the peripheral edge including a top surface connected to the connecting surface at a junction, wherein the top surface and the connecting surface form an angle (α) at the junction, and wherein the angle (α) is between 10 and 12 degrees.
