2. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the tension belt is made of a textile band material of or with polyester and/or nylon.

3. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein starting at the second end the first textile field is fitted with loops and the second textile field is fitted with barbed hooks.

4. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein both textile fields are positioned at a distance from each other.

5. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the eyelet is made of a synthetic material.

6. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the receiving device comprises a textile pocket.

7. The fixing device according to claim 6, wherein the textile pocket is formed by a textile hose which surrounds the tension belt over its circumference, whereas the hose is closed only at one end or at both ends.

8. The fixing device according to claim 7, wherein the tension belt is guided at a first end through the hose and subsequently by forming a loop in which the eyelet is receiving in a captive manner, is turned over from the outside on the loop and then fixed to the hose.

9. The fixing device according to claim 7, wherein the hose is closed at one end facing the first end of the tension belt by a seam, which at the same time fixes the tension belt by forming the loop from the outside on the hose.

10. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein, seen from the second end of the tension belt, the second textile field has a greater length than the first textile field.

11. The fixing device according to claim 1, wherein the tension belt is provided with a non-slip element on the surface facing the fixing device of the rim in intended use, in the area of its middle between on the one hand the first end and on the other hand the longitudinal section between both textile fields.

12. The fixing device according to claim 7, wherein the pocket has a first internal receiving chamber of the measuring sensor on the side of the tension belt facing the rim in intended use.

13. The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein starting at the second end the first textile field is fitted with loops and the second textile field is fitted with barbed hooks.

14. The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein both textile fields are positioned at a distance from each other.

15. The fixing device according to claim 3, wherein both textile fields are positioned at a distance from each other.

16. The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the eyelet is made of a synthetic material.

17. The fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the eyelet is made of a synthetic material.

18. The fixing device according to claim 4, wherein the eyelet is made of a synthetic material.

19. The fixing device according to claim 2, wherein the receiving device comprises a textile pocket.

20. The fixing device according to claim 3, wherein the receiving device comprises a textile pocket.

Description

(1) The invention will be described below using an exemplary embodiment and the figures by way of example.

(2) The figures are as follows:

(3) FIG. 1 shows a diagrammatical elevation view on a fixing device according to the invention;

(4) FIG. 2 shows a lateral view of the fixing device according to the invention from FIG. 1 in the area of the receiving device for the measuring sensor.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

(5) FIG. 1 represents an elevation view on a fixing device according to the invention with a band-shaped tension belt 1 which carries on a first end 1.1 an eyelet 2 through which the second end 1.2 is pulled. The eyelet 2 is captive-mounted in a loop 3 on the first end of the tension belt 1, as can be seen from FIG. 2, whereby the loop 3 is formed by turning over the tension belt 1 at its first end 1.1 and by sewing of the turned over section on the neighbouring section in the area of the first end 1.1, see seam 4. The seam 4 enables to fix a receiving device 5 in the form of a hose-shaped pocket and thereby to prevent any sliding of the pocket in longitudinal direction of the tension belt 1. At the same time, the first end of the receiving device 5 is closed by this seam 4 whereas conversely the second end is designed as an open end, through which the measuring sensor 10, in particular the tyre pressure sensor, is inserted into the receiving device 5 and can be removed therefrom.

(6) The measuring sensor in FIG. 1 is positioned under the tension belt 1 in the receiving device 5 so that it is placed between the tension belt 1, more precisely a first surface of the tension belt 1 and the vehicle rim, when enclosing a vehicle rim (not represented) with the tension belt 1.

(7) As can be seen in FIG. 1, the tension belt 1 has two textile fields 6, 7 on its second external surfacereferring to the intended use of rimin the area of its second end 1.2, i.e. a first textile field 6 and a second textile field 7. The first textile field 6 is positioned directly on the second end 1.2. The second textile field 7 is spaced from the first textile field 6, but still in the region of the second end 1.2 of the tension belt 1. Both textile fields 6, 7 are for example sewed respectively with two longitudinal seams 8 on the surface of the tension belt 1. Both textile fields 6, 7 form together a Velcro fastener if namely the second end 1.2 is pulled through the eyelet 2 with the section carrying the first textile field 6 and subsequently the first textile field 6 is burred by folding the tension belt 1 on the second textile field 7 in the region of the second end 1.2.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(8) Advantageously, the first textile field 6 is provided with loops and the second textile field 7 with small hooks so as to constitute the Velcro fastener mentioned.
