First Claim
Patent Images
1. An air pressure detecting device for a wheel comprising:
- an air valve for introducing air into a tire;
an end of a hollow member being operatively connected to said air valve; and
a detecting and transmitting unit for detecting an air pressure in the tire and transmitting pressure information out of the detecting and transmitting unit, said detecting and transmitting unit being connected to a distal end of the hollow member;
said detecting and transmitting unit being operatively attached to the hub of a wheel portion.

Abstract
An end of a hollow member is connected to an air valve for introducing air into a tire. A detecting and transmitting unit for detecting an air pressure in the tire and transmitting pressure information out of the detecting and transmitting unit is connected to an opposite end of the hollow member. A detecting and transmitting unit is mounted on a hub of a wheel portion. The positioning of the detecting and transmitting unit minimizes any deviation from the dynamic balancing of the wheel. Consequently, the air pressure detecting device for a wheel can be subsequently installed on the vehicle.
