Tire pressure gauge with data transmitter
First Claim
1. :
- A tire pressure gauge featuring pressure data transmission, comprising in combination;
a tire pressure sensor adapted to be in fluid communication with an interior of a tire;
a proximal display coupled to said tire pressure sensor, said proximal display adapted to be viewed by an individual adjacent the tire;
a pressure transducer, said pressure transducer adapted to create a pressure signal correlating with a pressure within the interior of the tire;
a signal transmitter coupled to said pressure transducer, said signal transmitter adapted to transmit an electromagnetic signal relating to said pressure signal;
a signal receiver spaced from said signal transmitter, said signal receiver adapted to receive said electromagnetic signal from said signal transmitter; and
a remote display coupled to said signal receiver, said remote display adapted to interpret from said electromagnetic signal information relating to the pressure within the interior of the tire and generate a visually perceptible indicator relating to the pressure within the tire.

Abstract
A tire pressure gauge is provided mountable to a valve stem of a tire/wheel combination or to a rim of a wheel. The tire pressure gauge includes both a proximal display viewable by an individual adjacent the tire/wheel combination and a remote indicator of tire pressure status. This remote indicator can be in the form of a warning light or in the form of a remote display with a receiver/antenna communicating with a transmitter coupled to a pressure transducer which monitors tire pressure. Most preferably, both the warning light and remote display are provided together. A valve core is associated with the tire pressure sensor for ease in adding air to the tire when needed. The pressure transducer and warning light and/or transmitter are contained together within a transmission module preferably removably coupleable to a gauge including the tire pressure sensor and the proximal display.
