SENSOR FOR TIRE PRESSURE AND TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A tire pressure measurement sensor comprising:
- a pressure detection means for detecting an air pressure in a tire;
a connection pipe for connecting an air injection valve of the tire to the pressure detection means;
a fixing means for fixing the connection pipe to the air injection valve of the tire; and
an air injection means connected to the pressure detection means to inject air into the tire through the pressure detection means.

17. An apparatus comprising:
a first tire-pressure measurement sensor that includes; a pressure detector configured to be mounted to a wheel of a tire outside the tire and to measure an air pressure in the tire; a wireless transmitter operatively coupled to the pressure detector and configured to wirelessly transmit a value representing the measured air pressure from the pressure detector to a remote display in a vehicle; a conduit having an air passageway, wherein the conduit is connected to the pressure detector and includes a connection pipe and a connection-pipe attachment mechanism configured to fasten the connection pipe to an outside end of an air-injection stem of the tire such that the air passageway is connected to the air-injection stem and extends between the air-injection stem of the tire and the pressure detector; and an air-injection port connected to the air passageway, wherein the air-injection port is configured to receive injected air and pass the injected air to the air-injection stem of the tire through the air passageway. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
