MONITORING DEVICE AND PATCH ASSEMBLY

摘要

A monitoring device and patch assembly, and method for forming the assembly, is disclosed. The patch is particularly adapted for mounting the monitoring device to the inside of a pneumatic tire, and includes a body having a first side, a second side, and a platform extending from the first side, at least a first portion of the electronic monitoring device, and an encapsulation material substantially surrounding the first portion of the electronic monitoring device and at least a portion of the platform. The encapsulation material connects the first portion of the electronic monitoring device to the patch. The platform includes an overhang, and the encapsulation material surrounds the overhang, such that a portion of the encapsulation material is disposed directly under the overhang and above the first side of the patch.
