In one aspect, a tire sensor configured to be fixed to a tire in a screwing manner includes a sensor module configured to be attached to an inner surface of a tread of a pneumatic tire to detect conditions of the tire, a sensor casing formed to surround the sensor module, and a sensor fixture including a fixing screw to fixedly attach the sensor casing to the inner surface of the tread of the tire in a screwing manner by turning the fixing screw. In another aspect, a tire includes the tire sensor fixedly attached in a screwing manner therein for detecting tire conditions.

A pneumatic tire includes two plate-like members which have a plurality of through holes formed therein, and are adhered to each other by adhesion portions at least at two positions spaced apart from each other, and a supporting member which is inserted between the two plate-like members between the adhesion portions being adjacent to each other, wherein a part of an outer surface of one of the two plate-like members is attached to an inner surface of a tread portion so that a space is formed between the outer surface of the one of the two plate-like members that are adhered and the inner surface of the tread portion.

A pneumatic tire includes a plate-like member in which a plurality of through holes and slits having both ends positioned within a plate surface are formed, and a supporting member which is inserted into the slits and supports plate-like portions in both sides of the slits in opposite directions to each other, wherein the plate-like member is attached to an inner surface of the tread portion by mounting portions which are respectively positioned closer to an outer side than both ends of the slits, so that a space is formed between the plate-like member and the inner surface of the tread portion.

A fitting structure between a functional component accommodation case and a rubber base, the functional component accommodation case being configured to accommodate a functional component that detects a state of a tire, and the rubber base being configured to be attached to an inner surface of the tire so as to mount the functional component accommodation case. The fitting structure includes plural case-side convex/concave parts that are formed on a case bottom surface which is a surface on a tire inner surface side of the functional component accommodation case and that extend in mutually intersecting directions, and plural base-side convex/concave parts that are formed on a functional component accommodation case side of a base bottom part, which is an attachment part to be attached to the tire, of the rubber base and that fit with the case-side convex/concave parts.

An RFID mesh label configured to be integrally incorporated within a vulcanized tire and to further provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire during and/or post-vulcanization, the RFID mesh label including a face layer configured to be positioned adjacent or flush to an outer surface of the vulcanized tire; an RFID layer positioned underneath the face layer, the RFID layer having an RFID device that is configured to provide unique identifier(s) and/or other information about the vulcanized tire upon being read with an RFID reader; and a mesh backing overlying the RFID layer and adapted to be integrally incorporated in a vulcanized tire after subjecting a green tire to a vulcanization process.

A method and a related station for applying a sensing device to a tyre are described. A tape-shaped support with removably fixed sensing devices is advanced, to feed the sensing devices in sequence. A handling device is then rigidly coupled to a sensing device, maintaining at least a portion of an adhesion surface of the sensing device removably fixed to a support. The sensing device is then completely separated from the support, taken away by the handling device, and applied to an inner surface of a tyre by the handling device.

A device (10) for securing an electronic component to a wall of a tire comprises a base (11) that is able to be secured to the wall of a tire and a retaining wall (12), connected to the base (11). The interior surfaces (14, 15) of these elements define a volume (13) able to accommodate the electronic member (100). The base (11) has an opening (18) via which the electronic member is introduced so that when the base (11) is secured to the wall of the tire, the opening (18) is closed by the wall of the tire. The securing device (10) is such that the retaining wall (12) is able to be torn in order to form a fault that allows the electronic member to be extracted and inserted, and such that the retaining wall (12) has a retaining device (19) for a clamping system (20) for clamping the retaining wall (12).

A tire and membrane system includes a tire, an electronics package, and a membrane body attached to the electronics package. A width of the membrane body is less than 120% of a width of a tread of the tire. A length of the membrane body is less than 50% of a circumference of the tire. A bottom surface of the membrane body is configured to lie flat against an inner surface of the tire. The membrane body is not attached to the tire.

Provided is a tire having excellent peeling resistance such that it is unsusceptible to having an electronic component peel off from the surface of the tire, even when a large impact is exerted on the tire during high-speed travel. An electronic component attachment member for embedding an electronic component is attached to a surface of a tire inner member disposed in a tire inner cavity. The electronic component attachment member comprises an electronic component storage part for storing an electronic component, and a bonding part having a bonding surface for attaching the electronic component attachment member to the surface of the tire inner member. A line that passes through the center point of the bonding surface of the electronic component attachment member with the tire inner cavity surface and that is perpendicular to the surface profile of a tread part does not pass through a circumferential-direction groove formed in the surface of the tread part, and the complex elastic modulus E*t (MPa) of tread rubber constituting the tread part at 30 C. satisfy E*r/E*t.
