Abstract
A device for mounting a sensor on a motor vehicle wheel rim comprises: a truss rod, a housing receiving the sensor, the housing being articulated relative to the truss rod, a member for locking the truss rod in position on the rim once the housing is in contact with the rim. The housing includes a first stop element designed to co-operate by contact with a first zone of the rim, the first stop element being arranged on one side of a plane P passing through the hinge pin of the housing and a second stop element arranged on the other side of the plane and designed to press on the rim under a force F exerted by the truss rod. The invention also concerns the mounting method associated with the device.
