Patent attributes
A tire pressure gauge is provided mountable to a valve stem of a tire/wheel combination or to a rim of a wheel. The tire pressure gauge includes both a proximal display viewable by an individual adjacent the tire/wheel combination and a remote indicator of tire pressure status. This remote indicator can be in the form of a warning light or in the form of a remote display with a receiver/antenna communicating with a transmitter coupled to a pressure transducer which monitors tire pressure. Most preferably, both the warning light and remote display are provided together. A valve core is associated with the tire pressure sensor for ease in adding air to the tire when needed. The pressure transducer and warning light and/or transmitter are contained together within a transmission module preferably removably coupleable to a gauge including the tire pressure sensor and the proximal display.
