Abstract: A magnetic mount for magnetically mounting a tire pressure sensor inside a vehicle tire has a flexible frame, a sensor mount atop the frame, a first neodymium magnet under a first end of the frame, and a second neodymium magnet under an opposed second end of the frame. The frame may be H-shaped, with an elongate central member, a first member extending transversely from a first end of the central member, and a second member extending transversely from an opposed second end of the central member. A first pad is fixed under the first member, a second pad is fixed under the second member, the first magnet is fixed under the first pad, and the second magnet is fixed under the second pad. Third and fourth magnets may be fixed under the first and second pads respectively. The magnets may be circular discs having a diameter of about ¾ inch.

Abstract: A tire pressure sensor is provided having a housing, a pressure transducer within the housing electronically coupled to a transmitter, a battery within the housing connected to deliver electrical power to the pressure transducer and to the transmitter, and a pressurized compartment within the housing bounded at least partially by a flexible membrane. A first conduit extends from the pressure transducer to the compartment. An inlet port extends through the housing to allow pressurized air within the tire to contact the membrane. In particular embodiments, the pressure transducer, transmitter and battery are rubber coated and encapsulated with epoxy.
