Tire equipped with a sensor and a method of measuring strain amount of the tire
First Claim
1. A tire equipped with a sensor, the sensor measuring vibration or deformation of the tire and disposed on a surface portion of the tire wherein an adhesive layer, formed of a cured elastic adhesive, is intervened between a rubber member on the surface portion of the tire and the sensor, andreinforcement member, which is made of a film-like member which covers an overall surface including a detection surface of the sensor or an overall surface opposite to the surface including the detection surface and has a larger stiffness than stiffness of the sensor and a constant thickness, or a lamination member that is formed by laminating the film-like member and has a constant thickness, is disposed on at least one of the surface including the detection surface of the sensor and the surface opposite to the surface including the detection surface.

Abstract
This invention provides a tire (10) equipped with a sensor (14), attached to a rubber member (15) in the surface of the tire (10), for detecting deformation of the tire (10). The sensor (14) is adhered to the rubber member (15) with the aid of an elastic adhesive formed of a room-temperature moisture cure adhesive agent composed mainly of an acryl modified silicone resin or the like. The adhesive between the sensor (14) and the rubber member (15) is cured to form an elastic adhesive layer (16). According to the above constitution, the deformation of the rubber member (15) in the tire surface can be transmitted to the sensor (14) with high accuracy, and, at the same time, the durability of the sensor (14) can be improved.
