摘要

"PACKING FOR TIRE, PACKING INSTALLATIONS FOR INSIDE A TIRE AND TIRE WITH INTEGRATED DEVICES, AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING A TIRE WITHIN A TIRE". The invention relates to a system, method and apparatus for mounting components and electrical and electronic devices for integration with a tire, including a mounting patch specially configured for mounting at least one electronic device supported by a substrate. The mounting patch is preferably adapted for positioning on the inner lining of a tire and is configured to decouple any mounted electronic device from tire-related phenomena, including mechanical stress, vibration, heat, and other adverse effects generated by the rotational operation of the tire. Exemplary mounting patches include circular or rectangular platforms to support various electronic components and configured circular, rectangular or cross pillars that engage the base of the mounting patch with the electronic device support platform. Selected electronic devices may be encapsulated by a material. to facilitate effective attachment of electronic devices to the tire patch.
