Mounting structure of the pressure sensing system
First Claim
1. A mounting structure of a tire pressure sensing system in a tire pressure sensing system in which a pressure sensor is placed on a wheel to sense pressure of a tire which is mounted on the wheel, wherein the wheel is a cast wheel for a vehicle including a rim portion where the tire is mounted, a hub portion provided at a center of the rim portion, and spoke portions connecting the rim portion and the hub portion, and the air pressure sensor is placed in a boundary portion between the rim portion and the spoke portions.

Abstract
A mounting structure for a tire pressure sensing system. The tire pressure sensing system includes a pressure sensor placed on a wheel to sense pressure of a tire which is mounted on the wheel. The wheel is a cast wheel for a vehicle including a rim portion where the tire is mounted, a hub portion provided at the center of the rim portion, and spoke portions connecting the rim portion and the hub portion. The pressure sensor is placed in a boundary portion between the rim portion and the spoke portions. Since the pressure sensor is placed in the boundary portion between the rim portion and the spoke portions, a portion protruding into the tire when replacing a tire can be reduced. Consequently, workability for tire replacement can be improved.
