Claim:
A valve device comprising a valve body ( 1 , 1 ′), which is releasably connected by a retaining unit ( 4 , 4 ′) to a housing ( 3 , 3 ′) for receiving electronic tire pressure measuring means so that, in a locked state of the retaining unit, the valve body is fixed relative to the housing and, in an unlocked state, the valve body can be displaced in an axial extension direction relative to the housing and released therefrom, wherein the retaining unit is provided on or in the housing so that it engages laterally on or in a jacket-side locking segment of the valve body and establishes the locked state, and the retaining unit is retained or locked on or in the housing in the locked state, wherein the retaining unit embodies a snap-in connection with the locking segment in the locked state and the valve body is formed such that it bends the retaining unit outwardly in response to being plugged into the housing, wherein the locking segment comprises a jacket-side recess on the valve body and dimensioned for interacting with the retaining unit to establish the snap-in connection and wherein the retaining unit comprises a lever having an arm which extends transversely to the valve body and is radially pivotable relative to the valve body between the locked state wherein the arm engages the jacket-side recess and the unlocked state wherein the arm is removed from the jacket-side recess.
