Abstract

L'invention concerne une valve snap-in pour un pneu de véhicule, munie d'un dispositif (5) pour mesurer la pression d'un pneu. Ledit dispositif (5) est monté sur une embase (15) de la valve snap-in. Ladite valve snap-in présente une rainure (13) dans laquelle un bord d'un trou de valve de jante de pneu de véhicule (2) peut être encliqueté. Au-dessus de la rainure (13) de la valve snap-in, un moyen d'appui (3) cylindrique extérieur peut être relié à la valve snap-in, de sorte que la surface marginale du moyen d'appui se situe au moins en partie sur la face extérieure de la jante de pneu de véhicule (2).
