1. An alarm device for informing reduction of pneumatic pressure of a tire by converting an abnormal change of the pneumatic pressure into an electric signal and generating an alarm, the device comprising:

  • at least one oscillator means having an oscillation coil fixed on a chassis side of a vehicle and changing its oscillation state of electromagnetic waves in accordance with an abnormal change of the pneumatic pressure;

    a resonator means fixed to the peripheral portion of a wheel having a tire adjacent the oscillation coil and consisting of a resonance coil and a capacitor capable of resonating with the electromagnetic wave radiated from said oscillation coil and a pressure sensing switch for sensing an abnormal change of the pneumatic pressure;

    a signal processing device provided for each oscillator and including a detector means for detecting the output of the oscillator, a comparator means for comparing the present output of the detector with a preceding output of the detector to generate an output pulse, an integrator means for integrating the output pulse of the comparator, and a logic circuit means for logically operating the output of the integrator; and

    an alarm means for generating a warning signal in accordance with the output of the signal processing device.
