Abstract: Apparatus for mounting an electronic tag within a tire includes a patch having a first side for mounted location against an inner liner of the tire, a second opposite side, and a socket member extending into the second side. A housing is provided having an internal tag receiving chamber defined by sidewalls and an elongate assembly bolt extends through the housing passageway and into the patch socket member to attach the housing to the patch. A remote end of the assembly bolt protrudes through the patch and carries a temperature sensor that engages the tire inner liner and transmits temperature data to electronic data transmission means within the housing. A lower portion of the housing sidewall is adapted to angle inward toward the lower housing end and a pressure measuring device is mounted within the angled sidewall portion.

Abstract: According to the invention there is in conjunction with a pneumatic tire (10′) having an electronic tag (100) mounted therein with a patch (70′) having a first side (72′) for mounting against the innerliner of the tire, a second arcuately-shaped side (73′) and an internally threaded member (71′) extending to the arcuately-shaped side (73′). The electronic tag has a pressure sensor (116) located at the bottom of a tubular shaped air inlet structure (118) opening at an upper surface (122a) of the electronic tag, an internally threaded nut (132) having one end (132a) disposed within the electronic tag (100) and an opposite end (132b) extending outward from the upper surface (122a) of the tag, an externally threaded member (134) threaded into the internally threaded nut (132) and extending through the upper surface (122a).
