A method and apparatus in accordance with embodiments of the invention includes a tire pressure detection device comprising an elongated casing having a first casing portion and a second casing portion, configured to house a pressure sensor and the battery therein. The elongated casing also includes a mounting hole for accommodating a connection member configured to connect the casing to a tire valve. The mounting hole is disposed, in one embodiment, and at approximately longitudinal center portion thereof. The first casing portion and the second casing portion are joined to each other by joint portions comprising a hook formed on one of the first casing portion and the second casing portion, and a hook hole formed in another of the first casing portion and the casing portion. The joint portions are located around the mounting hole and both longitudinal ends of the casing. The casing is configured such that a tire valve penetrates a rim of the tire wheel from an outside to an inside thereof. |
