Abstract

A tire pressure detector for motor vehicles which is to be fastened at the circumference of a wheel rim and comprises an oscillating circuit having coupling coil which cooperates with a stationary receiver coil. In order to increase the minimum air gap between the rotating coupling coil and the stationary receiver coil, the coupling coil, which rotates with the wheel rim, is arranged on a middle limb of a plate-shaped ferrite core. The magnetic coupling for the stationary receiver coil is improved by means of the shape of the ferrite core (23).
