TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE DETECTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A tire inflation pressure detecting device comprising:
- tire inflation pressure sensors;
transmitters for transmitting signals indicating tire inflation pressures detected by the tire inflation pressure sensors, respectively; and
a receiver for receiving the signals transmitted by the transmitters;
a pair of one of the tire inflation pressure sensors and one of the transmitters being operatively connected to each of wheel rims of a front wheel and a rear wheel of a two-wheeled vehicle, wherein the receiver is arranged in a region outward, in a vehicle-body width direction, of a straight line connecting the wheel rims of the front and rear wheels, and forward of a rider'"'"'s seat.

Abstract
A pressure detection unit includes a front-wheel transmitter and a rear-wheel transmitter operatively connected to wheel rims of a front wheel and a rear wheel, respectively. Inflation pressure signals transmitted from the front-wheel transmitter and the rear-wheel transmitter are received by a receiver. The receiver is arranged to be offset outward of a straight line connecting the front-wheel transmitter and the rear-wheel transmitter in the vehicle-body width direction. More specifically, the receiver is arranged in a space surrounded by a front cowl and a side panel, the space being between a coolant reserve tank and a radiator. The single receiver receives the signals transmitted from the front-wheel transmitter and the rear-wheel transmitter.
