WHEEL CONDITION DETECTOR AND WHEEL CONDITION MONITOR
First Claim
1. A wheel condition detector comprising:
- a case located in an internal space defined between a tire and a wheel member, the tire and the wheel member forming a wheel, wherein the case has a detection space formed therein and a communication section for communicating the detection space with the internal space;
a condition sensor located in the detection space that detects a condition of the wheel; and
a restriction section that restricts an entry of foreign matter into the detection space through the communication section.

Abstract
A wheel condition detector and a wheel condition monitor, each having a case provided in an internal space defined between a tire and a wheel member, the tire and the wheel member forming a wheel. The case has a detection space formed therein and a communication section for communicating an interior and an exterior of the detection space with each other. The wheel condition detector or the wheel condition monitor has: a condition sensor located in the detection space that detects a condition of the wheel; and a restriction section that restricts an entry of foreign matter present in the internal space into the detection space through the communication section.

11. A wheel condition monitor comprising:
-
a wheel-mounted device that sends wheel information that indicates a wheel condition to a vehicle body; and a vehicle-mounted device that monitors the wheel condition based on the wheel information received from the wheel-mounted device, the wheel-mounted device comprising; a case located in an internal space defined between a tire and a wheel member, the tire and the wheel member forming a wheel, wherein the case has a detection space formed therein and a communication section for communicating the detection space with the internal space; a condition sensor located in the detection space that detects a condition of the wheel; and a restriction section that restricts an entry of foreign matter into the detection space through the communication section. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
