Abstract

An apparatus and method for mounting a sensor having an antenna inside a wheel cavity is disclosed. The apparatus includes a body having a holder for holding the sensor. The apparatus also includes a passive antenna circuit electrically isolated from the antenna of the sensor. The passive antenna circuit includes a receiving antenna adjacent a first end of the holder, for receiving radio frequency energy radiated by the antenna of the sensor. The passive antenna circuit also includes a conductor electrically connected to the receiving antenna and extending inside the holder. The passive antenna circuit further includes a mount on a second end of the holder, opposite the first end, the mount being electrically connected to the conductor and operably configured to mechanically connect the conductor to an interior extending portion of an electrically conductive valve stem of the wheel and to electrically connect the conductor to the interior extending portion such that an exterior extending portion of the valve stem radiates at least some radio frequency energy coupled into the receiving antenna from the antenna of the sensor.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 03 April 2008 (03.04.2008)
-21-
16, The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said holder comprises a projection operably configured to be received in an opening of the sensor,
17. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein said projection is formed of an electrically insulating material,
18, The apparatus of claim 17 wherein said conductor includes a recess for receiving at least some of said electrically insulating material to prevent separation of said electrically insulating material from said conductor.
19. The apparatus of claim 16 wherein said projection includes a stopper for stopping relative movement between the sensor and the projection.
20, The apparatus of claim 19 wherein said stopper comprises a tab operably configured to interfere with movement of the sensor to confine the sensor between said receptacle and said tab,
21. The apparatus of claim 19 wherein said tab includes aresilient portion permitting the tab to be moved into a first position enabling relative movement between the sensor and said projection and said resilient portion urging the tab into g second position in which said tab interferes with movement of the sensor relative to the projection.
22. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said mount comprises a connector having a wall having a recess for receiving a complementary portion of said interior extending portion of the valve stem and wherein said wall has an elongated opening for receiving a fastener therethrough to mechanically secure said connector to the valve stem.
23, Use of the apparatus of claim 10 for mounting inside a wheel cavity of a wheel on which a tire is mounted said sensor having said antenna for radio frequency transmitting a representation of an operating condition of the tire to a remote receiver.
24. An apparatus for mounting a sensor having an antenna inside a wheel cavity, the apparatus comprising:
holding means for holding the sensor inside the wheel cavity; and
electrically isolated radio frequency coupling means electrically isolated from the antenna of the sensor, for coupling radio frequency energy transmitted by the antenna of the sensor to an interior extending portion of an electrically conductive valve stem of the wheel such that an exterior extending portion of the valve stem radiates, outside the wheel cavity, at least some of said radio frequency energy coupled from the antenna of the sensor.
25. The apparatus of claim 24 wherein said radio frequency coupling means comprises a passive antenna circuit comprising:
a receiving antenna adjacent a first end of the holding means, for receiving radio frequency energy radiated by the antenna of the sensor;
a conductor electrically connected to the receiving antenna and extending inside the holding means;
a mount on a second end of the holding means, said mount being electrically connected to the conductor and operably configured to mechanically connect the holding means to the interior extending portion of the valve stem -24_
receptacle and said mount are disposed at opposite ends of said projection.
33. The apparatus of claim 31 wherein said projection is formed of an electrically insulating material.
34. Thθ apparatus of claim 33 wherein said conductor includes means for preventing separation of said electrically insulating material from said conductor,
35. The apparatus of claim 34 wherein said means for preventing separation comprises a recess in said conductor, for receiving at least some of said electrically insulating material to prevent separation of said electrically insulating material from said conductor.
36. The apparatus of claim 31 wherein said projection includes stopping means for stopping relative movement between the sensor and the projection.
37. The apparatus of claim 36 wherein said positioning means comprises a receptacle adjacent the holding means, said receptacle being operably configured to receive the antenna of the sensor and wherein said stopping means comprises a tab operably configured to interfere with movement of the sensor to confine the sensor on the projection between said receptacle and said tab.
38. The apparatus of claim 37 wherein said tab includes a resilient portion permitting the tab to be moved into a first position enabling relative movement between the sensor and said projection and said resilient portion urging the tab into a second position in which said tab interferes with relative movement between the sensor and said projection.
