Patent ID: 8439090

Claim:
A tyre comprising: a casing with a wall suitable for containing an internal service pressure, after the casing has been mounted on a vehicle wheel; and a touch-close fastener for attaching an object to a face of the wall, the fastener including a first part fixed to the wall and able to deform with the wall, and a second part suitable for joining mechanically to the first part by connection elements when the second part is placed against the first part in such a way as to hold the object in a service position on the wall, wherein: the first part of the fastener has a property of inherent deformability such that stresses developed in the fastener in reaction to deformations of the wall of the casing at an interface with the fastener are substantially less than stresses producing the deformations in the wall, presence of the first part of the fastener does not significantly hinder the deformations of the wall, in a joined position the connection elements allow a mechanical looseness between the first and second parts that limits transmission of stress to the second part of the fastener and to the object in the service position, the first part of the fastener includes a thin backing fixed to the wall of the casing and having a structural elongation capacity greater than or equal to a maximum amplitude of a deformation of the wall of the casing to which the fastener is fixed when subjected to applied stresses, the thin backing includes a stretchable substrate, and connection elements fixed to the substrate project out from one face of the substrate, the thin backing includes at least one of: a ply of woven or nonwoven elongate elastic elements, a ply of deformable meshes of elongate elements, and a chainmail ply, and the substrate has an edge whose thickness decreases up to where the substrate joins the wall of the casing.
