  • Publication number: 20030126919
    Abstract: A tire-condition sensor for installing on a wheel rim of a tire where the wheel rim defines a wheel rim platform and a valve rod. The tire-condition sensor includes a valve rod, a main body, and two positioning devices. The valve rod is for passing through the valve hole and is fixed on the wheel rim. The main body has a sensor for sensing the condition of the tire, connecting to the valve rod, and defining a positioning direction which is more or less perpendicular to the wheel rim platform. The two positioning devices, positioning on the main body, can move in the positioned direction relative to the main body, adjustably touch the wheel rim platform, and by means of this to firmly fix the tire-condition sensor.
