Abstract
In an apparatus for measuring the tire pressure in a pneumatic tire of a vehicle by means of a measurement value sensor, which is acted upon by the tire pressure, on the rim bed (12) of a rim (10), which accommodates a tire valve (20), for the pneumatic tire, connected to the tire valve (20) is a signal housing (44) which is associated with the rim bed (12) and which includes an electronic sender means as the measurement value sensor for the tire pressure. The signal housing (44) is connected to the tire valve (20) by a hollow screw (40) which engages into the valve bore (28) and is adjustable relative thereto in such a way that the tire valve/signal housing combination can be used for equipping different rim cross-sections. That purpose is also served by base elements (52) which project from the underneath surface of the signal housing (44) and which sit on the rim bed (12) and which with the suspension point on the screw (40) form a multi-point mounting configuration.
