Abstract

A device for the transmission of measuring signals for the tire pressure of twin wheels of motor vehicles comprises for the purpose of enabling a simple exchange of the individual wheels in the twin wheel at least two signal transmitters which are arranged at each individual wheel in the area of the free outer rim edge in such a way that the first signal transmitter of the first wheel is electrically connected with a sensor of the first wheel and with the signal transmitter of the second wheel, and the signal transmitter of the first wheel is electrically connected with a sensor of the second wheel and with the second signal transmitter of the second wheel by means of coupling devices which are arranged on the rims. A stationary signal receiver is provided in the area of the free outer rim edge of the respective inner individual wheel at a distance from it.
