TIRE PRESSURE SENSING MOUNTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A tire pressure sensing system, comprising:
- a tire patch having a first face and an oppositely directed second face;
a sensor mount positioned on the first face of the tire patch oppositely facing with respect to the second face, the sensor mount including opposed first and second bias clip members;
a tire pressure sensor releasably retained to the sensor mount by the bias clip members; and
the tire patch second face is fixed to an inner tread wall of a tire having the longitudinal axis of the tire patch coaxially aligned with a radial centerline of the tire.

Abstract
A tire pressure sensing system includes a tire patch having first and second faces. A plate fixed to the second face is oriented perpendicular to a tire patch longitudinal axis. A sensor mount is positioned on the first face and oppositely facing with respect to the plate. The sensor mount includes opposed first and second bias clips and is oriented perpendicular to the tire patch longitudinal axis. At least one plate fastener extends through the tire patch fixes the plate to the second face and the sensor mount to the first face. A tire pressure sensor is releasably retained by first and second sensor fasteners and the first and second bias clips to the sensor mount. The tire pressure sensor is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The tire patch is permanently connected to a tire inner tread wall having the longitudinal axis coaxially aligned with a tire radial centerline.
