First Claim
Patent Images
1. A transmitter of an apparatus for monitoring a condition of a tire, the transmitter comprising:
- a valve stem for permitting flow of air into the tire, wherein a pair of grooves are formed in a proximal portion of the valve stem;
an electronic element for transmitting a data representing the condition of the tire;
a casing for accommodating the electronic element; and
a coupler for coupling the valve stem to the casing such that an angle of the casing relative to the valve stem is adjustably controlled, wherein the coupler has a pair of projections, and the projections fit into the grooves.

Abstract
A transmitter has a valve stem, an electronic element, a casing and a coupler. The valve stem permits flow of air into the tire. The electronic element transmits a data representing the condition of the tire. The casing accommodates the electronic element. The coupler couples the valve stem to the casing such that an angle of the casing relative to the valve stem is adjustable be controlled. This can be attached to wheels having different cross-sectional shape.
