Abstract
The filter assembly is positioned between an outwardly threaded stem of a tire valve that controls the flow of tire gas and an internally threaded stem-receiving mount on a tire gas sensor. The filter assembly includes a housing having relatively opposing first and second ends, a mount-engaging portion adjacent to said first end, a cavity open at said first end, a stem-engaging stub at the second end, and at least one port extending through the stub and into the cavity; a filter insertable in the cavity; and a retainer mountable in the cavity at the first end of the housing and having a bore extending therethrough. The stub at the second end of the housing is disposed to depress the tire valve stem and release tire gas when the filter assembly and the tire valve stem are fully threaded into the mount on the sensing device. The tire gas flows through the port in the stub, the filter, and the bore in the retainer before reaching the sensing device.
