Abstract

See full text

The invention is directed to a method of manufacturing a tire wherein a monitoring device is embedded within the tire during its manufacture. The method includes placing the device with a dowel on a tie gum ply prior to curing the tire, without having the device contact a body ply of the tire. Then an inner liner ply of the tire is assembled over the monitoring device and over the tie gum ply. Pressure is applied to cause the dowel to press through the inner liner ply and the tire is then cured. After curing, the dowel is removed in order to produce an aperture, thereby permitting the internal space of the tire to communicate with a pressure sensor located on the device.
