Title: Andrea Maria Davide Finzi: Vehicle-Wheel Monitoring Innovation.

Introduction

Andrea Maria Davide Finzi is an inventor associated with Triuggio, Italy, and Maxion Wheels Holding GmbH. Her patent work addresses vehicle-wheel measurement and monitoring, with a focus on detecting forces acting on a wheel.

Latest Patents

Finzi is credited with 1 patent: “Vehicle Wheel with a Measuring Device and a Monitoring Device for Vehicles.” The invention describes a vehicle wheel with a rim section, a disc section, and a measuring device that detects forces acting on the wheel.

To simplify measurement while enabling the determination of both dynamic loads during driving and static load forces, the design attaches a metal strip to the outer side of the rim using an adhesive connection. The measuring device is assigned to this strip. One implementation uses a bending strut with at least one measuring sensor, connected to the strip at two spaced-apart fastening zones. Another connects the sensor to the strip and uses differently oriented strain gauges to detect local deformation between those zones.

Career Highlights

Finzi’s listed patent reflects work on practical sensing arrangements for vehicle wheels. By placing the measurement components on an adhesively attached metal strip, the design aims to support load monitoring without requiring a more complex wheel-integrated arrangement.

Collaborations

Finzi is associated with Maxion Wheels Holding GmbH. Her listed coworkers include Sunil Kumar Mandem and Ralf Duning.

Conclusion

Andrea Maria Davide Finzi’s patent presents a wheel-monitoring approach designed to measure dynamic and static loads through sensors connected to an adhesively attached metal strip.
