Method for attachment of tire pressure sensor
First Claim
1. A method for attaching a tire pressure sensor to a vehicle tire, the method comprising:
- exposing an adhesive area on the tire pressure sensor, said adhesive area including;
a first adhesive area, said first adhesive area including a first adhesive with a relatively short cure time; and
a second adhesive area, said second adhesive area including a second adhesive with a cure time longer than the cure time of said first adhesive, and an adhesive strength greater than adhesive strength of said first adhesive; and
attaching said tire pressure sensor to said vehicle wheel.

Abstract
Provided is a method for attaching a tire pressure sensor to a vehicle tire, where an adhesive region is exposed on a tire pressure sensor, and the tire pressure sensor is attached to a tire. The adhesive region is made of a first and second adhesive, where the first adhesive has a short cure time, and the second adhesive has a cure time longer than that of said first adhesive, and an adhesive strength greater than that of said first adhesive. Also provided is an adhesive system for a tire pressure sensor, where an adhesion surface on the tire pressure sensor is made of an outer perimeter and an inner region. The first adhesive has a short cure time, while the second adhesive has a long cure time and an adhesive strength greater than that of the first adhesive. Also provided is a tire sensor that can be mounted to a vehicle wheel, where the tire sensor includes a housing, including an adhesion surface, with adhesive material disposed upon the adhesion surface. The adhesive material includes a first, relatively fast curing adhesive and a second, relatively strong operating adhesive. The first adhesive area retains the tire sensor during mounting on a mounting surface of the wheel while the second adhesive area cures to a relatively strong adhesive strength.

21. A tire pressure sensor attachment method comprising:
-
removing an adhesive backing to expose an adhesive area on a tire pressure sensor, the adhesive area including a first adhesive having with a relatively short cure time; and
a second adhesive having a cure time longer than the cure time of said first adhesive, the second adhesive having an adhesive strength sufficient to retain the tire sensor in attachment with a vehicle wheel during operation of the vehicle wheel, the first adhesive having an adhesive strength sufficient to retain the tire sensor in attachment with the vehicle wheel during the cure time of the second adhesive; and
attaching the tire pressure sensor to the vehicle wheel.
