Fixing structure for pneumatic tire pressure sensor, and tire wheel with protector for pneumatic tire pressure sensor
First Claim
1. A fixing structure for fixing a pneumatic tire pressure sensor onto a rim of a tire wheel, on which a pneumatic tire is mounted, comprising:
- a protector fixed to the rim in the vicinity of the pneumatic tire pressure sensor to protect the pneumatic tire pressure sensor from interference with the pneumatic tire,wherein the pneumatic tire comprises bead portions,wherein the rim comprises a drum and inboard and outboard tire bead sheets extending radially from both sides of the drum, wherein the bead portions of the pneumatic tire are press bonded to the inboard and outboard tire bead sheets, respectively,wherein the drum comprises a first cylindrical part, an annular wall part extending radially from an outboard edge of the first cylindrical part, and a second cylindrical part which connects the annular wall part to the outboard tire bead sheet, andwherein the protector is fixed to the first cylindrical part and the annular wall part in the vicinity of the pneumatic tire pressure sensor.

Abstract
A rim (1) of a tire wheel (TW) comprises a drum (1a) and inboard and outboard tire bead sheets (1b, 1c) extending radially from both sides of the drum (1a). A bead portion (3a) of a pneumatic tire (3) is press bonded to the outboard tire bead sheet (1b). A pneumatic tire pressure sensor (2) is fixed to the rim (1). When the pneumatic tire (3) is mounted on the tire wheel (TW), or when the pneumatic tire (3) is removed from the tire wheel (TW), a protector (4) which is fixed to the rim (1) protects the pneumatic tire pressure sensor (2) such that the bead portion (3a) removed from the outboard tire bead sheet (1b) does not interfere with the pneumatic tire pressure sensor (2).
