Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention provides a tire monitor apparatus (A) and monitored vehicle tire (10). A module (E) which monitors tire information is supported by a rubber ply (30) affixed to the inside surface (18) of the tire. The module has electrical components for monitoring tire information by collecting, storing and/or reading information about the tire. A retainer assembly (G) is used to secure the module to the rubber ply such that the module is supported within the tire's cavity. The module is mounted to be isolated from tire loads such that the durability of the monitoring is improved. The retainer assembly has first parts (20) carried by the rubber ply and second fastener parts (22) built into the module. The first and second fastener parts cooperate to support said module from said rubber ply. The module is made with a retainer opening (24) having edges (26) to receive a fastener device (40) having standoff or indexing elements (46). The tire monitor retainer assembly may allow the module to be removed for inspection, repairs or updating.
